Blue clouds and the castle

Let’s continue with my manual blending attempts. Until now I have been only able to successfully blend blue hour shots. Don’t really know why :) But I hope it gets better with each blended photo.

I used 7 exposures here, all combined in Photoshop and then finalized in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Blue hour in Vienna

This was taken during summer last year. It was a strange day to take photos in Vienna, as there was a football match between Austria and Germany (if I remember correctly) that day, and the city was full of people watching it on screens everywhere :)

After most of my recent photos were blended images, this is again a HDR. I’m continuing my experiments with blending, but as the results are not really share-worthy right now, I’m sharing normal HDR photos instead :)

Black & White

I was feeling a little more artistic with this one :) With all the snow it looked quite interesting in B&W, so I went with it :) Btw. if you click on the photo, it will be opened with a black background. Looks much better with it.

Frozen reflection

Another very soft blend. I blended this photo from three images, but I only used a +2 exposure to brighten the middle and the ice a little bit and a -2 exposure to darken the windows. Worked out very well :) Btw. this photo was taken a year ago. Lake Kuchajda is probably frozen right now, but there is no chance for a blue sky :)

First blended panorama

I’m continuing my attempts to learn manual blending of images. This time I went with a manually blended panorama from 4 sets of 6 brackets. Didn’t even take so long to blend, just the final touches took a long time :)
