I don’t go through the edit from start to finish on the provided photos, I rather focus on the blending technique of the images, which is the main subject of these videos.

Additionally, you can download all the videos and also the RAW files I’m using (28 in total), so you can try all the edits also for yourself.

Head over to the Master Exposure Blending page to get them now!

32:9 and 4K walllpapers

And for the wallpapers I already shared, you can get them here. There are some in 32:9 (3440×1440) and standard 4K 21:9 (3840×2160) resolution.

New super ultra-wide walpapers

New ones for the super ultra-wide selection. Again from a few different spots, this time it’s London, Cesky Krumlov, Bratislava, and the Austrian Alps. If you would like a wallpaper version of any of my photos, feel free to leave a comment. Will do so in the next update :)

4am in Astana

Is it Nur-Sultan or Astana again? I’m not even sure, as I read somewhere that they are changing the name of the capital of Kazakhstan back to Astana. I do prefer Astana, as it’s a simpler name.

This is a vertorama I took while taking a walk at 4 am, near my hotel while I was there. I could not fall asleep due to the time difference. So instead I decided to just go out and wait for the sunrise.

This is a two-shot vertorama, each shot blended from three exposures. Taken with the 17mm tilt-shift lens. Makes vertormas just so easy.

Early morning at the Chrles bridge

I noticed I never posted this image to the blog, so here it is. It’s an early morning panorama of the Charles bridge in Prague, taken around a year ago. As you can see from the absence of other people, this was very early in the morning.

But actually, there were few people there, as you can see on one of the behind the camera photos, but with a nice long exposure and a bit of blending, there were not that hard to remove :)
