Blue Sunset

This photo was taken from the Pajstun castle ruins in Slovakia, around sunset. It was actually quite strange, how blue the sky was. Usually when I take sunset photos I get a lot of shades from pink to purple, but this sunset, it was just shades of blue. And all other photos taken around this time are also very blue :). I tried to play with the temperature of this photo, to make it a little warmer, but then I lost the beautiful shades of blue in the sky, so I let it be.

500px

For a longer time I have noticed a lot of photographers creating a site also on 500px.com. After thinking it over I decided also to give it a try, registering at http://500px.com/hdrshooter . As now I have my photos on this blog, on flickr and smugmug, it’s really starting to be too many sites. Currently I have all for a certain purpose, the blog is great for additional stuff (as this for instance :)), smugmug is a great portfolio site and flickr is for comunity. So the 500px looks like a nicer flickr replacement. What do you think?

Wagons in the harbor

Trains can give you such a nice vanishing point, the longer the better :). This photo was taken earlier this year in the Bratislava harbor. The sun was already quite low, and behind me, so if you look closely you can see the shadow of the camera.

Night in Prague

I took quite a lot of shot in the center of Prague. The view at night is really beautiful.

Strbske Pleso

These time I edited one of the photos I took like two years ago. This was actually the first time I started shooting bracketed shots for HDR’s :). I didn’t have my DSLR with me, but I had a borrowed Lumix TZ3 camera, which supports bracketing. It was only from -1 to +1, but better than nothing :).

This photo was taken at the Strpske Pleso in Hight Tatras in Slovakai. Taken with Lumix TZ3, HDR from three shots, taken handheld.

Somewhere in Austria

I have no idea where I took this shot :). It was taken on the way from Bratislava, Slovakia to Cologne, Germany and we were taking a break at a Gas station, from which was this lovely view. It was a very cloudy day, and it actually started raining in the next few minutes :)
