Shots for and from the videopodcast "Meet the Gimp!".
Köln Hbf (Cologne Central Station) at dawn. I liked the colour contrasts of the natural and artificial light. The station's rails, lines and lights guide the eye nicely, I hope.

Yes, the contrast is a bit like with my "Winter Morning" from the XMas show. I'll have to look at the colours on my "real" (now calibrated!!! :-) ) monitor, my notebook isn't that good.

The leading lines are great, picked up in the lights on the left side which form also loose lines.

I would have loved a bit of interest in the lower right corner, a person, some luggange or so. It's a bit empty now.

In fact I have been fiddling quite some time to find the right crop. Cropping further on the right side would, I think, break the balance with the dark parts on the right. Moreover, the lines would converge too far to the right. Nevertheless, I will think about it.

How did you calibrate, by a hardware measuring device or, as I did, only by software such as LProf? By the way, it is a pity that the Linux desktop does not support colour profiles; now my pictures look definitely better in GIMP or Krita using their colour management system than in my browser or image viewer.

The crop is good - I wouldn't change that. It would have been nice if something was standing there on the platform.

I have a Spyder2, bought after Joel wrote about it.
