I finally got to edit one of the shots I took this week in Austria. This is the Schlogen Loop, a bend in Danube, taken from the Schlogen blick, a very nicely placed viewing platform.

This is a two tile panorma, each tile from 2 exposures. Panorama combined in PTgui, exposures blended manually in Photoshop.

Technique: Manual blend, Number of exposures: 2, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 40mm, Aperture: 13, Middle exposure time: 1/20s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.42452, 13.87737

Sometime I wish that every sunset would be like this one. It would be so great :) But one the other had, they would not be so unique anymore, so it’s probably better the way it is now :)

2013 was a year filled with photo trips, and the year my game designer job ended, and I became a photographer full time :)

Last hours to preorder the Radian 2

I mentioned some time ago the Kickstarter campaign for the Radian 2 time lapse motion device. And right now is the last time you can get it from there, as it will probably not be available for some time, until all the Kicstarter orders are filled. For those who don’t know what Radian 2 is, you can check my review of the Radian 1 and also the Kicstarter page.

Second vertorama from Vienna

How about another vertorama from Vienna. It’s actually taken from the other side of the same bridge :) I did a vertorama here, as with a single image, without having any distortion, I could not get the tops of all the building in the shot. And with the cut off, it just looked strange.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2*4, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 8.0s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.21168, 16.38269

And they are really crazy bright. Especially on the middle, main tower. Took quite a few layers, but I somehow managed to tone it down back into something more normal :) You can see quite a difference compared with the night photo, where the light are off (which I posted few days ago here)

This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, which I blended into one of the original exposures (mostly just the church).

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 5, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 8s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.19907, 16.37126
