Music on the street

I love the shallow DOF a good lens can create. This and the excellent sharpness are for me the two main reasons to go for the best lenses.

The King of Vienna

Another performer in Vienna. The center of Vienna is really great for photos like this, as there are many tourists, an so also many entertainers. And with a nice telephoto lens, you can get great shots, without having to be that close to them.

Sad clown is sad

What do you do when it’s 35 degrees outside, clear and sunny and you are a landscape photographer? You go out taking photo of something else :) And that is what I did :) You can also find a photo, where only the clown is in color and all else in B&W on my Facebook page.

The souvenir kingdom

You can find so many of these shops in every tourist location. I was actually taking more a photo of the shop, when this guy noticed me and posed a little. So I quickly refocused, making him the subject of the photo :)

Girls love Napoleon

I love street photos, I’m just not very good at them. But I’m trying, and hopefully with a little practice, I hope I get better. So this week, the photos will be a little different :) Quite recently I got a new lens, the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II and I spend some time with it. Hope you all like them (and don’t worry… there will again be a lot of HDR here :) )

So let’s start with a nice one from center of Bratislava. This Napoleon soldier statue is quite popular with tourists and locals to take photos with.
