Night at the rooftop bar

I already posted a photo from this rooftop bar in Budapest sometime before, and here is a second one. This one was taken a bit later in the night. Still there were quite a few people there, and I ended up taking few photos for them. It happens quite a lot that when people see me taking photos, they also ask me to take a photo of them (with their camera/phone of course :))

This is a two shot vertorama, each shot from two exposures. Combined in PTgui, blended in Photoshop.

Lighthouse in the lake

For the photo today, how about another one from the Lighthouse in Podersdorf on the Neusidlersee in Austria. I just like to return there to get more photos. I still would like to get some star trail phtos there, with the lighthouse in the foreground, but did not have enough luck for clear sky there yet. Maybe next time :)

How is it to use the Spark remote?

The remote on it’s own is very simple to use. For the wired control, you just connect it to the camera and it works. For the wireless one, you fist have to go into the app, and set the correct camera model. You have to do that only once, as the remote remembers what you set.

For all else you have to pair the remote with the app, and use the build in function. They are all very simple to use, and offer all the functions you may need. The only one I could not find was bulb ramping, which should be possible here. Maybe after an app update.

I took me seconds to get all up and running, as it is just so straightforward. You connect the Spark remote to the camera, open the app, wait until it’s connected (if its not, you can go into settings and choose the remote to connect) and choose what you want to do. It’s all connected with a Bluetooth, so the range is quite good also.

Winter sunset over Bratislava

I took this photo already over 1 or 2 years ago, but never posted it. But I’m doing so today. This is the view from the Michaels gate balcony. As it’s a museum, it’s a bit hard to get there during the sunset. Only in winter, when the sunset is so early, it’s still open. And while it is not allowed to take photos inside, they have no problems if you take photos outside on the balcony.

Clouds invading Paris – Plotagraph

I spend today evening in Mikulov in Czech republic. And while I got quite a few photo, who know if they are good. I have arrived only recently, and have not had time too look at them. But with how crazy windy it was, I’m not that hopeful. If it worked out, you will see a photo from there tomorrow :)

But for today, here is another Plotagraph I made, this time of this very cloudy view of Paris, taken from the top of the Tour Montparnasse.
