I hope I manage to return to these fields until they loose this beautiful green color. Last year I missed it, I hope for better luck this time :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Photoshop and Lightroom.

I stooped by Souther Moravia recently to get some photo of the great fields there, but regrettably, it started raining the moment I got there. And while you don’s see it on the photo here, it did rain quite a lot. I managed to take few shots, but I did not want to risk my camera, as it’s not weather proofed (especially with the adapter).

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop, but almost all the edits were just to add contrast.

Not really a surprise, but I still haven’t been able to catch up with my normal life. It’s quite funny, that while I was running around with the camera and taking photos at all the parties, I was feeling fine, but right after that, the cold I got before returned immediately. Photography must be a drug :)

So for today, just a look back at one of my older shots from Prague.

One of the best things about traveling, is just tasting all the food. And if you ever been in the Czech republic, you know that their traditional food is just great. So since today I’m posting a photo from Cesky Krumlov, I’m also including a snapshot I took during lunch the day I took this photo. And for those curious, the lunch was “Old Bohemian feast – chicken, smoked meat, millet, potato cake, dumpling, potato, salad”. After that, I had enough energy for the whole day :)

This photo is a 2 shot panorama, with each shot from 4 exposures. Combined panorama in PTgui, combined HDR in Olone Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Aurora HDR

November is really the month of releases. So many great new games (Fallout 4 is so addictive :)) and of course also new software. And one of those is the new HDR program from Macphun and Trey Ratcliff, Aurora HDR. Right now I started playing around with it, and hopefully I put together a review with my thoughts on it soon.


For now, if you want to get more info on Aurora HDR, check out the official website under www.aurorahdr.com. Please note, Aurora HDR is available only for MacOS.

Classic view in blue

For some reason, I visit this spot everytime I’m in Prague. I just love this view. And from the number of photographers and tourists that are there all the time, I think I’m not the only one :)
