I though I would share with you my first thoughts on the Everyday messenger bag today, but as the delivery is late and I don’t know where it is (btw. what is the point of tracking, if they delivery company does not include the location in the updates? ), that would have to wait. So for today, here you have a shot of the John Frost bridge from Arnhem in Netherlands.

This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 5, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 2.5s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 51.975237, 5.912495

A bit similar photo to the one I posted two days ago, again a brige a reflection and a sunset. But this time regrettably, from the place where one could get a nice view of the bridge, one could not see the sun. It does make the photo a little less colorful. I could have added more color in post-processing, but it would not feel real to me afterwards.

This is a 3 shot HDR, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 5, Camera Model: Canon 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 16, Middle exposure time: 1s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 51.974239, 5.911694

Too bad that when one fully corrects a fisheye lens distortion, a lot of the photo is lost. But at least now Lightroom supports the Canon 8-15 fisheye, without needing to search for user created correction profiles.

This is another photo of the John Frost bridge in Arnhem, taken with a fish eye lens, corrected in Lightroom and then combined into HDR in Oloneo Photoengine.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 5, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 8-15mm F4, Focal length: 13mm, Aperture: 9, Middle exposure time: 20s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 51.974265,5.911757

I already posted few photo from the Amsterdam canals, but this one is from a different spot than all the others :) There are just so many spots like this there, with every other street being a canal :)

I’m currently running around Vienna, and will be back tomorrow. So I hope I had some nice weather (I’m writing this few days before :) ) and have for you a nice new shot from Vienna tomorrow :)

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 4, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 6.3, Middle exposure time: 12s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 52.36178, 4.895911

As I always say, it’s very nice to take photos in the early morning. Absolutely no people, and you can even take panoramas without anybody being in the way :) Not that I had a nice sunrise while in Amsterdam, but I did what I always do in that case. Try to do the most shooting during the blue hour, and include only very little from the sky.

This one was quite a big panorama, created from 5 tiles, each one from 4 exposures. You can see a work in progress shot on the side, from when I tone-mapped it in Oloneo Photoengine.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2×4, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8 , Focal length: 70mm, Aperture: 9, Middle exposure time: 6s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 52.35841, 4.883135
