I missed the opening hours in Basel Munster by few minutes (that happened to me a lot in Switzerland, everything just closes so early), but since the Cloister was still opened, I managed to get few photos there. I really liked the shapes the sunlight was creating on the floor, so that’s why I chosen this composition. Of course that made it a little more difficult in post-processing, and no HDR software works so great with such huge dynamic range, but overall, I’m quite happy with the result :). I also quite randomly took a behind the scenes shot while taking this photos, so I’m including it.

This is a HDR from 6 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

It’s so great when I can add a new country or new cities to the categories on the blog. And since I’ve been quite busy in Switzerland, I’n now adding few of them at once. So today, I have for you a photo from Basel. Exactly it’s the Munster cathedral, as viewed from under the Wettstein bridge. This is actually one of my favorite compositions, where I try to frame a landmark with a near by bridge. I really like it this way :)

For this photo I took two separate series of shots. First normal, quite long exposures, the second at high iso, just for the boat. It was just moving too much in the water, and I don’t like having it blurred in the final photo. The result was create by combining a HDR from 4 exposures created with Oloneo Photoengine with the original exposures in Photoshop.
