Waking up (part 1)

Since the spring is upon us and we had such a lovely weather this weekend, I decided for a different post today :) This is a quite different style of photography for me, but I like to try more than just one style. So if they are not the best, please have a little patience with me :). These shots are not HDR’s, they all have just been tweaked a little in Adobe Lightroom, with no other editing done on them.

I will post a second part of these shots later this week, since I took quite a lot of them :).

All shots taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 18-50mm lens, handheld. Mostly at F2.8. All photos taken at the Botanical Garden in Bratislava.

Light blue sunset

A lot of HDR shots come out quite dark. So from time to time I like to have some with nice light colors. So here is one :)

On the Street

Not all my photos are HDR’s. I usually don’t publish them, since I’m not really sure if they are any good. But since my friends quite liked these photos, I decided to share them :). Maybe there are not that bad :)

The first photo was taken in Vienna (Austria), the next three in Bratislava (Slovakia) and the last two in Prague (Czech Republic).

Nature’s Mirror

What a surprise :) Another reflection :) . I took this shot in the Botanical Gardens in Bratislava. Had to tone the HDR a little down, by merging it with the original exposure, as there were too many details.

Blue Water

I have so many shots of the Bratislava Castle :). It’s quite hard not to take new photos of it, as it’s quite visible from a lot of places :) This is one of the shots, from last autumn. The sky was such beautiful this day, and Danube river was calm enough to make this beautiful reflection.

Different theme

I just randomly tried this theme, and I quite like it :). What do you all think? Is it better? The only thing I don’t like is that the pictures are a little smaller. But other than that, I think it looks better :)

Unique and Big

You have the Slovak radio building and the National Bank of Slovakia building in this shot. And the first one is the most unusual and the second one the highest in Bratislava :)
