As traditionally, since today was the All Saints’ Day, I’m posting a new photo from the Martins Cementery in Bratislava. As you may know, most countries in Europe don’t celebrate Halloween, but we have the All Saints’ Day instead. The tradition is to go and light candles on graves. And if you go to a cemetery, there is usually one or two more central places with a cross or a statue, that is just covered with candles. And this is one of those.

This is a HDR from 7 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. I had to go with so many exposures, as it was already quite dark when I took the photos, and the statue was very brightly lit. You can even see, on some of the flowers next to it, that I got no detail in those, even with so many exposures.

This photo does look like it was taken in late Autumn, but in reality I took it early Spring :) They do look similar. I have been a bit sick recently, so I haven’t been taking that many photos the last month. But that should change this week, so hopefully the weather plays along.

I really wonder, which one is my favorite view of Bratislava. It between this one, and the the view from under the SNP bridge (show in the yesterdays photo). Still, I do have mi favorite photo subject in both of them, a bridge. I do start to be predictable, will have to change that :)

I haven’t posted any shots from Bratislava in a very long time, and there is a simple reason for it. I haven’t really taken any. It’s usually like that every year. Traveling around during the summer, staying at home during the winter. So like that, most my photos from Bratislava are during the colder months.

So for today, here is one taken in early spring this year. This is a HDR from 4 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 4, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones MkIII Adapter, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 5.0s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.137122, 17.104904

And a bonus one from the most viewed series. Tomorrow I’m back, so it should be again back to standard posts (if I’m not completely dead tired :))
