I think this type of composition has a tension in it. The opposing lines of the bridge and the railing are in conflict, where your eyes are pulled to one side and then immediately to another (or maybe not, what do I know? :) ). But either way, I like this type of composition. In the photo the New Bridge in Bratislava.
For some time I have been looking at cinemagraphs, and wanted to try one for myself. I have quite a problem with this, as my camera can’t shoot any video. But this time, I went shooting with a friend, who borrowed me his :). So this is my absolutely first try for a cinemagraph. I have never done this before :)
I quite like it :). I don’t think it’s the best, but passable :). I probably should have selected a simpler one to start with, but maybe next time :). Video taken with Canon sx20, edited using Photoshop, based on tutorial found here.
There was a gathering of historical trains in Bratislava this weekend (called Rendez), so I had to go there to take few shots. This was my favorite, from all the trains there :). And even the weather played along nicely, with the clouds breaking up few minutes after I arrived there :)
Looking at this car, I have to think of all the WW2 documentaries i have seen. This one was beautifully restored, with all the details, like a shovel on the side (the other side :)).
This is exactly what I want my HDR’s to look like, clean, sharp, lots of details, but with a light HDR effect, looking as real as possible. I edited HDR photos almost daily for the last 1 and a half years and finally, I’m getting to the point where I want to be :). And now to start focusing more on the composition side of things :)
HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, from a tripod. Photo taken from under the Old Bridge in Bratislava. In the distance the Eurovea shopping center and Tower 115.
The weather really was against taking photos yesterday. Few minutes after this was take a heavy rain started, so there was it. But still the clouds looked very interesting and the photo looks good :)
