The stunning ceiling

If you ever wonder why I like vertormas so much, this is it. You just can’t get a view like this without using multiple photos. The ceiling here, in the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is just stunning (as are in many more rooms in that building), and even while standing there, it’s hard to take it all in at once. But with a wide enough lens, and a bit of editing, it is possible :)

I took more vertoramas here, so I will share them with you in some later blog posts :)

This is a two shot vertorma, with a third photo used to remove few people from the shot. Combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

A cool place for a game of pool

When you visit a palace, you don’t expect a pool table, a cinema, card table and similar. But if you visit the Royal palace in Belgrade, that’s what you will see.

Still, it’s a great looking place :)

This is a two shot vertorama, each shot from two exposure, combined in PTgui, finished in Photoshop.

The second largest building

So of course this photo is of the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest. This is the view from the big parking area right in front of the palace. I really liked how the big street lamps framed the view, so I found the exact center opposing the parliament, and got this.

This is a blend of 4 exposure, done in Photoshop.

Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Pécs

I visited Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania this month. And while it was a crazy travel schedule, I managed to get quite a few nice photos. So let’s start with a vertorama from the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Pécs.

Funny thing, nobody minded that I use a tripod here. And it was same in 90% of places I visited (there were few exceptions). Nice to see that the south east part of Europe does not have the aversion to tripods some other parts already do. Hope it stays that way.

Early morning color of Paris

I really like when I get a nice color contrast in a photo. And the most common one you can get is between blue and yellow. And it just works so nice.

Same here, with this morning photo taken in Paris at the Eiffel tower. It’s like the city standing still, while the street moves.
