Johny

And another try for portrait photography :). I took this one quite a while ago, but never uploaded it anywhere, but here it is now. I did only a few corrections on this photo, again nothing big. Taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 18-50mm lens, with only natural light.

This is a friend of mine, Johny. Johny is a 3D artist and he did 3D graphics for a lot of games :). He is also an aspiring actor and he was in a few TV shows here in Slovakia :)

Shiny Bike

You can really see, if somebody takes care of a motorbike :). It was so shiny, that I had to tone down the blue color, because it completely reflected the sky :). It’s still a little blue, but I didn’t want to remove all color from it :)

Because the bike is just a part of the photo, here is cut-out, showing my favorite part, the beautiful reflection of the sky and the surrounding trees :) (just click on it to see it bigger )

St. Peter and Paul’s Cathedral before sunset

Few weeks ago I posted a photo named “St. Peter and Paul’s Cathedral after sunset”. And this is the same cathedral, taken few hours earlier (so technically before sunset :) ). I like the night shot better, but I think they work also very nicely as a pair. I also have a photo from the inside of this cathedral, but I was still not able to make a nice HDR from it. This is mostly because the inner walls are white, and HDR process turns them into ugly grey ones. But I usually return to older shot, when I learn something new in my processing, so will definitely try again :)

and of course the mentioned photo, the after sunset one :)

Facebook

Just a small reminder :). For the ones who use Facebook, and like to be informed about blog updates there, I have a Facebook fan page here :).

Motocross Bikes

How about a nice change of a subject :). I think that over the last year I uploaded only one photo of a bike, so that will change for better now. I took a lot of shots of these bikes and will upload more of them later on.

Beautiful Light

How about such a simple composition for today :). I left this photo nice and light, not adding too much contrast. Nothing else to add :)

Evening in the city

I love taking photos after sunset. It’s great that passing people can’t ruin your shot :). I took this photo at the perfect time. I had the great blue sky, the moon and also the lights were already on. Just perfect :)
