I was pleasantly surprised, that taking photos in the Westminster Cathedral is allowed and you even can use a tripod (I nicely asked :)). Comparing to the not so far away Westminster abbey, where you have to pay for entry and no photographing is allowed, this is much better :). To bad the light was not that good, the sky was cloudy and together with not so many lights on inside, it created a little less colorful photo than I would like. But maybe I’m just being too critical about my own photos :)

I was really busy today, and away from home for the whole day. So not really any time to edit and prepare a new photo for the blog. So instead another one of the process series today. You will notice that I did not do many changes on this photo, but is not about how many changes you made, but if they make the photo look better :)

This is the final photo, open the full post to see the original shot and how it looked in photoshop:

Since the photo I posted yesterday, was from high up above Prague, today I’m posting a photo from high up above Paris. The Tour Montparnasse really gives a great view of the city. This was actually the highest building I ever visited (there aren’t many really high buildings in central Europe)

I posted a lot of photos of the Prague castle as viewed from the city, but this time this is a view from the Petrin tower. The tower gives a really great view of Prague, and you even can use a tripod :)

This is a panorama from 2 photos, each one from 5 exposures.

If you seen my Photography composition guide, you seen that centering a subject is great for composition, if you want to show off symmetry. But if you shoot something like this you have to center it perfectly. If the symmetry is even a little bit off, it will look very distracting in the photo. I always try to find something on the ground, to center the camera on and then use live-view with a grid overlay. Having the camera perfectly in center is a little more important, as if its to the side, it’s much harder to correct it in post-processing.
