As I mentioned yesterday, the Eiffel tower is a great subject to be framed and here is another example of it. I took this right after a rain, when the clouds only started to break up, so there was not much color anywhere. So I pushed the saturation a little here, to get at least some color.

The Eiffel tower can just be framed so nicely. Usually it’s not the first type of composition I go for, but here it was just so obvious, that I had to do it :)

I was thinking of what I haven’t yet taken photos in Bratislava and what is close to my flat (I really was not in the mood for a longer bus ride with the 30+ degree weather here). So I chose for my destination the Polus City center. You have seen few photos of it from the backside, as there is the Kuchajda lake, but this time, it’s the main entrance.

Today I tried focus blending for the fist time (even if I took this photo few months earlier :)). For those who don’t know what focus blending is, its a process, where you take multiple photo with each of them focused on a different part of the scene. Then you combine the sharp parts from these photos so you have one photo which is completely in focus. Here I took two 5 bracket series, one focused at the rock near the camera and one at the hills in the distance. At the end I used only 3 photos, two for the foreground and one for the background. The dynamic range was not that high, so I had no need for the other photos. I still could have done a better job, by taking another series for the rocks closes to the camera, as they are still a little out of focus, but maybe next time.

I stopped by the Louvre while I was in Paris, but during the day, there were too many people for my style of photos (I don’t like having people in my photos :)). So I planed to return there later in the evening. And so I did. But between the bad weather and the whole area being closed off for filming, it wasn’t really a lucky day for me. So I got few photos, but nothing that spectacular. And here is one of them.
