Massive

A lot of people don’t like distortion in their photos. I don’t mind. Sometimes I even like them. Like for instance here. The view through a wide angle lens make the bridge look so massive and majestic, exactly the look I was going for :). Everyone visiting this blog regularly, will definitely recognize the bridge in this photos. Of course it’s the New Bridge in Bratislava.

Another stunning old beauty :) I would love to drive one of these one day :) Maybe someday …

Slovak National Theater

The old one, to be exact. Not the first time I took a photo of it, and not probably the last time. But this is the first time I like the result enough to share it. The building is quite yellow, with all the light makes all photos so yellow, that I just don’t like them. So this time I went with a lot cooler look, making it more white than yellow. Also I am quite happy, that they removed the posters in front of the theater. It looks much better without them :)

Last Fireworks

This was the finish of the new years fireworks in Bratislava. And this is for now the last photo I’m uploading from them. Maybe later I add more :)

End of a Year

I said I had more fireworks shots :) So here is another one. This was taken after the main new years fireworks already ended. It was actually quite a lucky shot, because when I pressed the shutter, somebody fired off a firework right below me. So I had the exact right moment :)
