Tree in the wind

There was such a strong wind that day, that I was actually very surprised that the photos aligned so nicely. I was very happy that I almost always have the lens hood on, as I let go of the tripod for a few seconds and it was immediately blown over by the wind. Without the lens hood, the complete front of the lens would be buried in mud :)

This photo was taken in January near the Red Stone (Cerveny Kamen) castle in western Slovakia.

Sun under the Port bridge

This is actually a very usual composition for me :) Having one bridge under another. But this time the sun gives it a special touch. This is the Port Bridge, one of the less accessible bridges in Bratislava, as it’s a highway bridge, going over the cargo port.

This HDR is from 7 shots, as I vent as hight as +4 EV, because the bridge was very dark in every photo I took.

Lovely sunset

You get such a lovely view of the sunset from the bridges over Danube. So I always like to return there and take more photos. In this one, taken from the Apollo Bridge, you can see (from left) the Old Bridge, Bratislava Castle and the Eurovea shopping center. I’m really happy with the reflections, and that the shaking of the bridge had no impact on the shots.

Small Castles

I think I mentioned it before, but I really like the old houses you can find in UK. This is another shot from the center of Coventry. You wouldn’t believe that this was taken at the end of October. It was such a lovely sunny day.

Moss

Too many city shot after each other, so lets have a nice nature one :) Not much else to say :)
