The weather in Bratislava got much better this week, so for today I chosen to go up to the Slavin Memorial. It’s one of the highest points in the city, but a lot of the view is obstructed by trees. So it was a great opportunity to use my 70-200mm lens, as I dont use it that much :) So this is fully zoomed in to 200mm. Manually blended from 5 photos and processed in Photoshop.
The freezing reflection
And not just the reflection, also I was freezing while I was taking this. And I was standing on the ice, which made some very disturbing sounds :)
Manual blend from three shots. Photo taken at the Kuchajda lake in Bratislava.
HDR one magazine – January Issue
A new issue of the HDR one magazine came out a few days ago, and this time there are also two articles written by me :) So for all of you who are interested in photography, you can get the newest (and also all other) issues here for free: http://www.hdrone.com/2013/02/january-2013-issue-of-hdr-one-is-now-available/
Light Bridge
Finally a decent shot from this year. I was starting to feel depressed, as I haven’t taken any new landscape photos fro over a month. But when the sky cleared a little yesterday, I ran out to take at least few shots. And my steps went to the Danube, as I wanted to try some long exposure shots with the Hoya ND400 filter which I bought recently. I got some nice shots with the filter, but nothing share worthy, so maybe next time. For this photo I had no need for the filter, as it was taken after sunset and the exposure was long enough even without the filter.
In this photo the Old bridge and the Apollo bridge in Bratislava. Manual blend from 5 photos, exported from Lightroom and then edited in Photoshop.
Contest reminder
Just a little reminder for all who would still like to join my little HDR editing contest. You still have 24 hours to submit your entry. All details can be found in this post.
The blue reflection
I hope the colors on this one look for you as nice as they look on my monitor :) I left this one darker, to have this night dark blue sky in it.
Photo taken at the Kuchajda lake in Bratislava, manual blend from 5 shots, mostly to darken light and brighten the middle part.
Explosions
Those of you who also follow my personal account on FB noticed that I posted a lot of Salsa photos today, so I was quite tired (got to bed around 4am :)) and busy today. So for my daily photo I selected one that I could edit a little more quickly :) This is of course one from the new years fireworks, just a single RAW edited in Photoshop.
