Vysehrad from the distance

Right after I arrived in Prague I went out to take few photos. And my first destination was the Petrin Hill gardens. I was hoping for a nice view of the city center, but there were too many trees in that direction. So at least the view towards the opposite side was nice and clear.

Alone on the Charles Bridge

I’m back from Prague after a week, so get ready for a lot of Prague photos :) I had to get up at 4:00am to be able to get to the bridge around 5:00am, but it was quite worth it. I was alone on the Charles Bridge. For about 30 second that is :) After that I was joined by more photographers which had the same idea as I had. But I still managed to get a lot of great shots without people, and the sunset that day was just perfect :)
Alone on the Charles Bridge You really have to go there really early to avoid people. This one is from 5:13 am :)

Number 1

And we are at number 1, the most favorited photo I have on Flickr. And also the first ever photo I had on Flickr Explore homepage.

This is for now the last look back and from tomorrow I be back with the new photos.

After sunset in the Sunflower field I really wanted to take a show with the sun still above the horizon, but we were traveling on a highway, and could not stop by any of the fields, and by the time we reached this one, the sun was already down. But I still like it :). Everything is a little more blue, but still fine :). Photo taken somewhere between Trnava and Bratislava (I have no idea where exactly :))HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, from a tripod.

Number 2

Continuing with the 2nd most favorited of my photos on Flickr. I can’t wait until I take the same shot with the 5D mark II. the problem with this photo was, that with the 7D I could not fit the whole moon into one photo. I had to do a panorama. But with the bigger sensor of the 5D, this should no longer be a problem.

Almost full moon My plan for last weekend was also to take photos of the stars, as the 7D has quite nice performance on higher ISO levels. But I didn't account for the very bright almost full moon. It was so bright, that the stars were almost not visible. So I took photos of the moon instead :)I actually felt quite stupid when I took this. The reason was, that the setup I used, the 7D with a Celestron telescope, could only capture something above half of the moon and you couldn't zoom out. And it took me quite a while to remember, that I can create a panorama from multiple shots, to capture the whole moon :) This is not a HDR shot, I took multiple exposures, but the didn't align properly and the HDR from a single RAW didn't look right to me. So I just created a panorama from two shots, removed the distortion and did few steps I usually do in HDR post-processing.Panorama from two shots, taken with Canon 7D and Celestron CPC 1100 GPS telescope.

Number 3

This is one of those places, where I want to go back to take some night shots. I was actually quite surprised when this photo got to the Flickr Explore front page. But that’s always a surprise :)

Completely calm water I was quite surprised, when I found these canals in Birmingam, UK. I wasn't expecting anything like these. But It was a very nice surprise, as they gave me some great reflections.HDR form three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, handheld.
