And another one of the Forth Rail bridge. You think it’s big, but until you are standing there, you will never know how big it is. As I arrived and looked it, I was just stunned.

This photo is a manual blend from 5 shots.

As I revisited Charles bridge already so many times (you just can’t avoid it when you are in Prague), I decided to do panoramas this time. So all photo I took were panoramic shots. And this is one of them. I actually created two panoramas (took the left shot twice), so I can remove most of the people from the shot.

This is a manual blend from 15 shots, the panorama is created from two parts.

I somehow almost never shoot during the day. All my recent photos are early morning or sunset/late evening shots. The colors are just so much better, but also the freedom, not having to deal with many people in your photos, is great. So same here, taken around 6 in the morning, by the Bojnice castle. Of course I had the whole area to myself :)

This is a manual blend from 6 shots.

This look really looks familiar to me. The bird looks at me exactly as people do, when I’m taking their photos. Like it was saying “Why are you taking a photo of me?”. Doesn’t it? :)

Single RAW photo, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop. Taken in Bojnice Zoo in Slovakia.

Destination Paris

So tomorrow I’m off to another trip. This time I will spend the week taking photo of Paris. So a week from now, you can await many new Paris photos on this blog.

Morning Sun

I have so many photos with blue skies, so I wanted something a little different here. So I used a technique I usually don’t use that much, and that is using different white balance for different parts of the photo. So here I used the two darkest exposures for the sky, with a warmer color balance and a little purple tint and then combined them with three colder exposures for the monument. I think it worked out quite nicely :)

This is a manual blend from 5 shots, taken very early in the morning at the Hero’s square in Budapest, Hungary.
