Resisting the time

I like taking photos of heavy machines, including tanks. And it looks much more authentic when they are not in a museum. But it would be better if they were only in museums.

I took this photo two years ago, so it’s still one from the Canon 450D. When I first loaded it into Photomatix, I almost dismissed it immediately, it was so noisy compared to the ones from the 5D :) But I’m glad I gave it a chance, as the result is quite nice.

I posted a Photomatix screenshot from this photo on my Facebook page, so if you would like to see the settings I used, you can see them there.

Best place for reflections in Bratislava

The Kuchajda lake really is the best place for reflections in Bratislava. It always delivers :) Even when there is a little wind, part of the lake are so sheltered, that you can fined a nice place to get a great reflection.

I went a little stronger with post processing on this one. It was a nice sunset but not a very colorful one, so the photos looked very flat.

Entrance hall

This is the entrance hall to the Slovak National Theater (the old building). The whole theater has this ball chandeliers which make a strange combination to the classic look to the building. I wouldn’t want be the one that changes the light-bulbs :)

Girls & Cars

Another thematic post :) A lot of people liked the one called Girls & Bikes so here is a follow up Girls & Cars. Cars and girls, a combination that is very attractive, although it is not HDR image. All this photos were taken at the car exhibition that is currently in Bratislava. I took them only handheld, so the car shots are not as sharp as I would like, but I think they are still very nice. I hope you like them.

Everything is green

A little simpler shot, but just to break apart all the blue ones. This is not yet one from this year, but from the last summer, but the weather is starting to get better so I hope soon will there be new ones
