Another one from my archives today. I so can’t wait for a better weather to start and get some nice new shots again :)

This is a HDR from 7 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 7, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 45mm, Aperture: 2.8, Middle exposure time: 2s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.136873, 17.104699

Video tutorials

You know that I offer video tutorials for sale on this blog, but I also watch a lot of them from many other photographers. Right now I’m watching the Trey Ratcliff’s Complete HDR Tutorial, The Ultimate Landscape Photography Course by Jay and Varina Patel and the Cityscape tutorial by Beboy. I like to switch from one to another, as sometimes watching one in a row is hard, as they are quite long. Especially the one from Beboy is a little problematic for me, as it’s in French, and I don’t speak any French :). But since I have quite a lot of knowledge of Photoshop already, I can watch it and get almost everything he is showing there. It just take a little longer.

There is always something more to learn. In taking and in editing photos. What are you currently learning? Or what video series are you watching? Feel free to share in the comments.

Moon over Bratislava

Still haven’t done many new photos this year. The weather in Bratislava is nothing spectacular right now, and my travels for this year will start a little later. So for now, another one from my library, taken around 2 years ago :)

Btw. this was really taken at f2.8. It was quite late after sunset, and it was really dark.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 6, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 42mm, Aperture: 2.8, Middle exposure time: 4s, ISO: 400, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.136873, 17.104699

This is just one of those photo situations, where you just have to go with a HDR. For a moment I even thought of just using the darkest exposure, and so a silhouette shot. But that I remembered, that that’s just not my style :)

This is a HDR from 6 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. I wanted to get this nice yellow/golden glow in the sky here, and I hope I got it :)

Technique: Photoshop edit, Number of exposures: 6, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS II, Focal length: 115mm, Aperture: 16, Middle exposure time: 1/25s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.137018, 17.113230

I found myself today for a few minutes in Banska Stiavnica in central Slovakia, so of course I had to take at least few photos. The weather was not perfect, with quite gray overcast sky. So the result is one not so colorful photo, but still it captures what I seen quite accurately.

This is a HDR from 3 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 24mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 1/50s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.459394, 18.891251

I really was missing green when looking through my recently posted photos. So I went through my old photos, to find one I haven’t edited yet, that includes some nature. And I really had to go really far back. Somehow I took no photos in the woods last year. But it’s not such a surprise with the horrible weather that was here last year.
