Very hot day in Portugal

I’m somehow tired this weekend. Not sure it’s the weather or someting, but I just feel like sleeping. So not much to say about today’s photo, just that it was taken during summer in Portugal at the Quinta da Roeda. It was over 40 degrees Cecilius outside when I took it, and I have no idea how I survived that heat.

This is a three shot panorama, combined in Lightroom, edited in Photoshop.

In the distance

And another fog photo. It was actually funny when we arrived to this spot. Fist time we were to this locations, and we could not find where the mountains were. You just could not see anything. Luckily, after a hour or so, the fog went down a bit, and we found them :)

This is a two shot panorama, combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

Hviezdoslav in the snow – Plotagraph

I did not know that, with a Plotagraph Pro you can also add particles to photos. Stuff like snow, rain or flowers. It is very easy and just looks great. The only problem with this is, that you can’t compress the resulting video as much as other Plotagraphs. There is just too much movement for that. But still I thought I share one with you :)

This is the Hviezdoslav statue in Bratislava. This snowy photo really fits to this heavy snow animation, as it really was like that that day. I’m still not 100% sure about how I animated the background, but after over 50 different tries, I ended with this one. Hope you like it.

The autoplay on this one is dissabled, so it does not load all the time, so if you want to see it, hit play.

(if you use an older web browser, you may only see a static image, if you are on a mobile, please hit the play button to see the Plotagraph in motion)

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 :)
