Looking upstream.

Travelling down the Lawrence Valley, fertile and well cared for lands are all around. The Laurentian mountains form the background scenery. They are among the oldest geological formations on earth.

Months ago already I was thinking about how to present panoramic shots here on Ipernity. One possibility for me could be a screenshot video. I have only little knowledge about that video thing and because the result was not really convincing for me, I asked Claus-Peter, Markus and Uwe for their opinion. Since none of them shouted "yarks, leave your hands of it!!" I will show you after weeks of silence what I managed to do back then. I am still not satisfied, but my time for such things is very limited and I doubt that I ever will handle moving pictures any better, than here. An almost 180° panoramic view along and across Ottawa river can be seen here, rather little of Ottawa City ('cause it's in our back), but a lot of Gatineau and a very little of huge Quebec province.

The sky was - well, I can't say re placed, because on my original jpg it was only white. So: the sky was placed by LuminarAI. I tried to find one that hits the mood. This is unfortunately more difficult than you may think, because spectacular skies are the main offers you get. I couldn't find just a normal cloudy sky, without any breathtaking light bursts ... But as you can see, the whole thing is edited and manipulated - so take it, or leave it. ;-)

Last morning on Lake Nipissing banks. Heading for the east soon.

The sky was replaced. This time by On1 Photo Raw 2022. Prior development with Adobe Camera Raw & DxO Nik Collection (PiP2). Original file see PiP1. I'm still not sure how "legitimate" I should find such manipulations. Nevertheless, I just like the main image better ;-)

Evening mood at Lake Constance, Germany. Some days off - external HDD forgotten home, Canada of 2007 has to wait. One or another actuell Lake Constance image as comfort.

M'Chigeeng Marina, Manitoulin Island.

Die Hügel hinter der Stadt sind eher Stufe, denn Hügel. Eine Stufe auf den uralten Granit des kanadischen Schildes. Dort oben geht es mit nur flachem Relief eher eben weiter ( siehe hier ). Gleich hinter der Stadt liegt der Trout Lake, der über den Mattawa und Ottawa River nach Südosten zum Sankt Lorenz Strom entwässert, während der Nipissing über den French River nach Westen zu den Großen Seen eine Verbindung hat. Eigentlich liegt die Stadt selbst genau auf der Wasserscheide und auf der einzigen (von Stromschnellen abgesehen), nur wenige hundert Meter langen Portage-Strecke für Kanus zwischen Atlantik und Oberer See. Die Geländestufe im Bild zeigt in etwa den Beginn und Verlauf des Wasserweges Richtung Osten.
