Evening reflection at the Schloss Ort

This photo is taken at the same lake as the one from yesterday. It’s even from the evening of the same day. We tried for a sunset shot, but the weather was a bit boring, as the sky completely cleared right before sunset. So we thought we wait for the light to be turned on on the castle (Schloss Ort). But also no luck there. It obviously is not turned on during winter. So instead, I just got some long exposures here.

This is a blend of two exposure, edited in Lightroom and finished in Photoshop. I used the Formatt Hitech 10 stop ND filter for this shot.

Sunny day in Winter

The weather in Bratislava is still horrible, so for today, I share with you another photo taken at the Traunsee in Austria two weeks ago. Surprisingly, there in the Austrian Alps it looked more like Spring than Winter. Not that it did not change the next day :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop. U used a 10stop ND filter to blur the water, to get a very nice reflection.

Going extra wide

As you probably already know from my photos, I love shooting ultra wide. And just now, I ordered a new lens. A 12mm one :) The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D from Venus Optics. This will be quite a jump from teh 16mm widest lens I have right now. It’s a fully manual lens, but since I take all photos in manual mode and focus manually every time anyway, this will not be any different for me.

I already can’t wait util I can try it out, but it still few days until it gets delivered. Of course I will take and post some shots from it right away :)

City center panorama

For today’s photo, here is another panorama from the city center of Bratislava. I’m trying to do the shots a bit differently, but I start to feel I take the same shot here over and over. Don’t have many ideas for these big cityscape shots in Bratislava anymore. There are few views I still want, but can get to the places right now, so that will have to wait.

So instead I’m trying stuff like long exposure, panoramas, vertoramas and similar. So here is one of those. This is a two shot panorama, combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

And here are few details:
