Camera collection
This probably happens to every photographer. Once you start taking more and more photos, you start to like all these beautiful old cameras more and more. Until now I only bought some, haven’t tried to take any photos with them. But as they are all functional, I think I will do that sooner or later :)
Path around the Bojnice Castle
The photo of Bojnice castle I posted a week ago is currently the most popular of my photos. It’s not really a big surprise for me as the castle looks really like something from a fairy-tale. So here is another one. I only took 2 steps back, to get a completely different composition :)
I had to do two bracket series for this shot. The +2EV photo was just not enough to get any detail in the wall in the foreground. There were just no lights there. So in the end I took one classic series, with a low iso to get the bright areas and than a second series, where I changed the iso to 1600 and did a +0 to +4 series, to get detail in all the dark areas. And with this setup, the lights of a nearby road were enough to brighten the wall.
This is a manual blend from 7 shots, taken in Bojnice, Slovakia
