I got a little behind on uploading a new post, as I took a short photo trip to Austria these last two day and got home only very late at night. So for now, here is the first edited photo from Durnstein and there will be more to come.
This is a manual blend from 5 shots.
Funny thing how this photo worked out. I took it only handheld, without even looking through the viewfinder (there was no way I could get my head there :) ) and at a very high ISO (3200 that is). So it’s not as sharp and clean as I would like, but still I like it :)
Taken in the monastery in Melk, Austria.
Durnstein is a lovely small city in Austria. Perfect for a day trip. They have a lovely church, a castle ruin and some great views. And one more thing that really counts for me, they allow the use of tripods in the church (I asked :) ). The day I was in the church the weather was quiet ugly, and I was there quite early in the morning, so for around 15 minutes I had the whole church just for myself :)
I took 7 shots here, but used only 3 for a manual blend.
This was taken during summer last year. It was a strange day to take photos in Vienna, as there was a football match between Austria and Germany (if I remember correctly) that day, and the city was full of people watching it on screens everywhere :)
After most of my recent photos were blended images, this is again a HDR. I’m continuing my experiments with blending, but as the results are not really share-worthy right now, I’m sharing normal HDR photos instead :)
This is a blue lit tree I found in a side street in Vienna. It actually looks to be a popular restaurant, as I could not take a shot without someone walking in or out. Took me few attempts to at least have the door close in the photo :)
