Two new translations

Some time ago I posted about adding translation of the Top Photography spots pages into Japanese. The first 4 pages were available then, and another two, London and Budapest are available from today. Only two more missing, but those will be added soon. You can find the English versions here, and the Japanese ones here.

Foggy and cold at the Old bridge

I’m still not sure if they changed the name of the Old bridge, now that it’s the newest one in the city. Who knows. I just hope they don’t. It just leads to confusions.

I took this shot about a week ago. The fog looked very promissing, and I thought I would maybe get a bridge completely covered by it. Too bad that in the area I live in, the fog is usually much thicker than in the city. Like this, mostly I don’t get the result I want, but one has to try.

This is a two shot blend, edited in Ligtroom and Photoshop.

What are you listening to?

I’m just curious :) What are you listening to while taking photos. I spoke to few photographers, and they all listen to music. But I don’t. I always listen to audiobooks (I am a big Audible user :)). You can even see what I’m listening to right now, if you check my Goodreads account (you can friend me there if you want :)). My goal for this year is to go through at least 100 books this way.

So am I the only one who listens to books? Or are there more of you :)

A castle vertorama

I started writing a guid on how to use a tilt-shift lens, but until that is finished, here is another vertorama for you. This one I actually took the fist day I bought the lens.

This is a two shot vertorama, taken from the little lookout area in front of the Bratislava castle. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Budapest really is great for nice city views, especially from the castle. I usually prefer the view towards the Chain bridge, but also the one towards the Elisabeth bridge is great.

This is a blend of two exposures. Mostly I used only one, but I had to darken few very bright areas from a second one. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

The temperatures dropped a lot the last days in Slovakia, with today being a nice -10 degrees Celsius (-18 real feel). I tried to go out to take some photos, but it really is not that fun, when one has a cold allergy. But today I stopped for an hour in Trnava, to take few photos, and while I gave up after about a hour in the cold, I still got some nice shots. And here is one of them :)

With the beginning of new year, it got quite cold in Bratislava and the fog rolled in. I went out to take few photos (not as many as I would like, due to camera problems :/), but I got some. Here is one, with the new Old bridge coming from the fog, with a nicely frost covered tree. There was not much color in this photo, but I still toned it down a bit to make the green more dominant.
