Sunset at Schloss Ort

Removing white outlines

This was quite an issue in the today’s photo. Quite often when you correct a very big brightness difference in a photo, it may hapen that you end up with a outline around the dark area. Hapens a lot in HDR but also with other edits. And if you have that problem and want to correct it, I have a full guide to it here.

Sunset at Schloss Ort

For today’s photo, lets stop in Austria, in Gmunden at the Traunsee. They have there this castle/chateau there right in the middle of the lake. You don’t see it form this side, but it on a small island with a bridge going to it.

I still remember how crazy bright the sun was that sunset. I had problems doing a composition, as I could not even look towards the sun. It was a warm day in the middle of January, in the Alps.

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Plotagraphs

I have not posted one in a while, but there are quite few Plotagraphs available on the blog. And you can see them all if you check out the Plotagraph category here.

Rocky shore in Vernazza

A more simpler photo today. While in Vernazza, I also went on top of the tower that was in the middle of the city. I did not really get some great shots, but that can also be because it was crazy hot and sunny. And I just can’t think clearly in such conditions. Still, I got few. And here is one, of the rocky shores of the city.

This is a two shot vertorama, combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

And here are few details:

Portfolio site

For those who would like to just see my photos, without all the stuff around them, you can check out my portfolio site wwww.hdrshooter.net. There almost no text there, just a huge wall of photos :)

Tower in Monterosso

If you look closely into the previous photo I posted from Monterosso, you can see this tower right in the middle of it. There is a small viewing platform right behind it, and that’s from where this photo was taken.

It is quite close to the tower though, so I used the 17mm tilt-shift lens here, and did a vertorama. I wanted to get the whole tower and also a lot of the sky.

Astana Around Us

As I mentioned before, I visited Astana in Kazakhstan few weeks ago. I can’t really share the photos with you yet, but what I can show you, are few photos from the exhibition I’m a part off. Big thanks to Altair for sending me the photos :)

(the second photo is not mine, just including it to show you how the display looks like)
So if you are in Astana, Kazachstan, go to the city center and check them out in person.

On the roman bridge in Salamanca

Normally you would never get me to take photos at a day like the on I took this one. It was over 40 degrees Celsius outside, with zero clouds and crazy sunny. It was hard to even stand outside in the sun. But as I only had about 2-3 hours in the city of Salamanca, and I knew there is this old Roman bridge there, I wanted some photos of it. And I do not know If I go back, ever.

Good thing in such a weather though, that there was almost no one else outside. Just other crazy people like me :). So I had most of the bridge for myself. I really liked this composition, with the 4 lamp framing the cathedral in the distance. And I again did a panorama here to get more of the surrounding of the bridge into the photo.
