I was going through my photos, trying to decide what to post today, and I came across this one from the new years fireworks from this year. The photo was a little colorless because of the fog, but I played a little around with the tint, pushing it a little more towards purple, and it became quite colorful :)

This is a single RAW file, exported three times (base, shadows and highlights) and blended together in Photoshop.

In the late evening

The weather is getting better, my fist trip is getting close. I so can’t wait to have new photo from new locations to share with you on the blog :). But until then, here is another shot from Bratislava.

This is a HDR form 6 shots, created in Oloneo Photoengine.

I’ve been living in Bratislava for quite a few years now, but this was the first time I seen this bastion without a scaffolding on it. Now just to find out if one can get on top of it :). Btw. the lighting on this whole street is a little strange. The cathedral lights are a bluish white, the wall lights are green, the street lamps are yellow and the bridge I was standing on has blue lights under it. I wonder who selected the lights there :)

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

I almost dismissed this photo for being to similar to one of my other photos I shared recently. But then I remembered why I actually took it. It was around 1am, and we were shooting star trails by the bridge (I posted the photo with them around two weeks ago) and as we were slowly ending, I had to get one more shot just because of the bridge reflection in the Danube. You never get a perfect reflection there, as the river is never calm enough, but I think this was one of the calmest I have ever seen it :)

This is a HDR from 7 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine and finished in Photoshop.

Again something little different today :) No new photo, but a short video tutorial on how I add glow to my photos. You can also see a written tutorial here and get a action that creates glow for you on the same page.
