I really do more city than landscape shots, but to have more variety here, here is another shot taken in the Souther Moravia in Czech republic. This fields are really beautiful and just great for photography :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Small Photoshop tip

A little tip for Photoshop. If you hate the start screen, that shows you your recent opened files as much as I do (it slows down the opening of Photoshop for me, as my files are on different, not just local, hard-drives), there is a simple way to turn it off, and have Photoshop as it used to be few version back.

So to turn it off, go to Edit/Preferences/General and find “Show Start Workspace When No Documents Are Open” and just remove the check-mark.

The tiny police car

To be fair, everything almost everything looks tiny under the Eiffel tower. I really like these shots I got using the tilt shift lens in Paris. Having a foreground element while taking a photo of such a huge building is just wonderful.

This is a three shot vertorama, created in Lightroom, edited in Lighroom and Photoshop.

Fireworks

Since I’m sharing a fireworks shot today, just a small reminder, that if you would like to remind you of the Fireworks bundle from MacPhun, which is only available for the next few days. You can find it here, on the MacPhun website.

Ship Christenings

While last time in Germany, I also attended two ship christenings in Vilshofen. And since one ended with fireworks, and I love fireworks photos, here is one of the shots I took that day :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

There was a light show in Bratislava, where they used water jets from a ship and beamers to create images in the middle of Danube. I’m not even sure of what to think of what they shown. I felt a huge disconnect between the medium and the content, as they focused a lot on showing photos and videos, where I think the water&light combination would fit so much better for a more abstract show.

I did few photos, but not many worked out, as it was very late at night. But from those I liked, here is one, with what I thought should be most of the show, a nice, colorful rainbow.

This is a single exposure, lightly edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Let’s continue with another shot from Passau. I really like the huge cloud over the city here, and with a bit longer exposure, I got quite a nice view of it :)

This is a two shot blend, created in Photoshop. I used the second, darker photo, just do darken few bright spot under the tower.
