Wolfgang Weisselberg, shooting for joy

Wolfgang Weisselberg > Mixing in some ambient light (and using it for white balance) while setting a strong accent with the flashes paints the portal in eerie blue, as they produce a much bluer light.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Frontal shot, using only flashes to emphasize the arches.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Frontal shot, using only the available street light (13 seconds at ISO 100, f/8).
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The portal of St. Heribert coming from the Deutzer Brücke.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The no-more working furnace from yet another angle.  Since it's drizzling, you may see a few drops reflecting the flash light.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The no-more working furnace from another angle, lightened up a bit with flash and a lot of ambient light.  (I need correction filters for my flash ...)
Wolfgang Weisselberg > The no-more working furnace.  Long exposure (and a bit of flash) makes these ghostly see-through people.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Here you can actually see the furnace still smokes.
Again, the image is pushed a lot and denoising can't do magic.
Wolfgang Weisselberg > Looks almost like daylight, doesn't it?  Well, that's what happens with 6 seconds at f/4 and (after pushing) ISO 16.000 effective (the 20D's ISO 3200 is effectively ISO 4000, according to dpreview.com).

The background seems washed out or over-denoised by NoiseNinja instead of having a nice bokeh, but we're driving the camera way beyond specs anyway ...
