Blue car

As each year, around this time, there are carousels in Bratislava. And for the second time, I was taking photos there :) Last time I didn’t had the courage to go, with my tripod, into the middle of this. But in a year a lot has changed :). All the people around me didn’t bother me at all anymore. And a great thing about taking shots at night, you can’t see any of them :)

I took quite a few shots, so there will be more from there :)

Circus entrance

I returned once more to the Medrano circus. This time also with my tripod, to take few HDR shots. I could find a nice spot to take a shot of the whole circus (there were just too much “city” stuff around, blocking a nice shot), so I took this instead.

Remembering the Dead

As Halloween is not really celebrated in Slovakia, we have our own variant of a day of the dead. It’s called Dusicky here and the tradition is to go and put candles on the graves. I live not far from the Martinsky cintorin (Martin Cemetery) in Bratislava, so I went and took few shots. Only few, in a side alley, as I think you shouldn’t disturb people in such a place.

Floating

I visited the Medrano Circus ( http://www.medrano.it) yesterday, as it is currently in Bratislava. And as I couldn’t resist I took few (hundred :) ) shots. Most of them are just bad, blurry, or under/overexposed, but some of them are quite nice. I had to use a really high iso, as I would never use flash at such a performance. For the photo I used ISO 5000. It created quite a lot of noise, but Lightroom removed it quite nicely :)

Not a HDR. This one was taken with Canon 7D with Sigma 18-200mm lens, handheld

Bratislava Sunset

To break up all the Prague photos, here is one from Bratislava :). One more shot I took in the Ruzinov park at sunset.
