Wide view from Paris

And another panorama. This one is from my visit to Paris last year. I took it quite early in the morning, right before the sunrise. As you can see, the blue hour was quite nice, but since it was really cloudy, the sunrise was not so much.

This is a two shot panorama, combined in Lightroom, edited in Photoshop.

Another photo from Cinque Terre

Yes, it’s another photo from Italy. If you wonder why I edit so many in a row, it’s because I’m preparing a Top spots in Cinque Terre page, and I need photos for it :). But until it’s done, you can see all other top photography spots pages here.

Warm day in Cinque Terre

The week I was in Cinque Terre earlier this year was very warm. And this was after the forecast for the whole week was rain, rain and more rain. I don’t really like such a warm weather. If I would not take photos, nobody would get me out into such a sunny day. But when one takes photos, it’s completely different. I can endure the warm quite easily, when I focus on the photos. I don’t even notice then :)

Software I use

If you ever wondered what software I use to edit photo or would recommend you give a try, I have a long list for you. You can check out the whole Software I use list here.

Sunny day in Monterosso

Back to Cinque Terre with today’s photo, but to a new town there. This one is the town of Monterosso. It has some really nice views from both sides of the beaches, and is easily accessible. Too bad I had no time to get a evening photo here, but maybe next time :)

This is another panorama, this time a three shot one. I used a polarizing filter to get more color into the sea. Combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

Creating a panorama

Yes, it’s another panorama. They just work so well for landscape shots. And if you want to learn more on how to create panoramas, I have these articles for you:

Taking a panoramic shot is really easy, and while editing is a bit harder sometime, it’s usually worth it :)

Sunset panorama from Hallstatt

I took this photo while visiting Hallstatt last year. As it is in the middle of the Alps, the sun goes down quite early as it hides behind them. And this was taken right at that moment, when only some sunlight still lit up the peaks of the surrounding hills. It all looked really nice :)

As you can see, the sky right above Hallstatt was not that interesting. Just no golden color. But the clouds further away were stunning. So of course I went with a panorama, to get as much as I could into the shot :)

This is a three shot panorama, merged in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

So many games

Have you seen the Xbox sale? So many games to play. I already picked up few, but now if they somehow managed so a day had more hours so I got more time to play :). Did you picked up something?

Cloudy skies over Strbske Pleso

I posted a similar panorama of this view months ago, but here is one more. This time I went a bit more darken with the editing, making the clouds much more prominent.

This is a three shot panorama, combined in Lightroom, edited in Photoshop. I used a 10 stop ND filter to get a long exposure here. The panorama is 42Mpix big. Would be bigger, but I like to leave quite a lot of overlap for merging.
