Fortification

A view of the fortification of the Bzovik monastery form the inside. As you can see, it’s not the safest place, with a sign warning of falling bricks at the entrance. Luckily, I had no such problems :)

Blue walkway in Coventry

What a nice day it was. I took this close to the end of October 2010. It was really warm and sunny :). This walkway is right next to a big transport museum in Coventry, Uk. I really regret that I went there without a tripod. I have many photos, but very few good ones. But there definitely will be another visit one day :)

Something to compare

I know that some of you like to see the difference, between the shots that came out of the camera, and the final HDR result. So here are the three original brackets that were used for the photo.

Completely calm water

I was quite surprised, when I found these canals in Birmingam, UK. I wasn’t expecting anything like these. But It was a very nice surprise, as they gave me some great reflections.

Organ inside St. Egidius Church

I continued playing with the Oloneo HDR software. It really helps to add to a photo a very nice realistic look. Again I created a Photomatix and Oloneo version and blended them in Photoshop. Especially the light areas came out much better in Oloneo. I probably will continue on using it :)

This photo is from the St. Egidius Church in Bardejov in eastern Slovakia.

Sunset at Home

I don’t know why, but usually when I’m at home I see the best sunsets. They are never when I outside, taking photos. So this time, I just took a photo from my balcony. I don’t have a very interesting view, but at least it’s quiet :)

I also tried Oloneo HDR software for the firs time here. I created a HDR in Photomatix and in Oloneo HDR and combined the best parts from both. I quite like it actually. Will probably try to incorporate it into my HDR workflow.
