Destination Budapest

So right about when this is posted to my blog, I’ll be in a train heading to Budapest. I’m spending the weekend there, relaxing and of course taking a lot of photos. So from Monday onward they will be on the site :)

Castle & Bridge

Always when I pass here I take this photo. I probably have dozens of variants of this shot. But I just can’t resist this reflection.

I went for 9 shots here, as first series I took with only 7 had the caste still overexposed. This scene really has a very high dynamic range, between the white castle and the dark underside of the bridge. I went very light on the post-processing again. I combined the shots in Photomatix, then corrected few spots in Photoshop, removed noise, sharpened image using Unsharp mask and added more contrast and brightness. That’s all.

Number of exposures: 9; Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II; Lens: Canon 24-70 mm F2.8;
Focal length: 28 mm; Aperture: 2.8; Middle exposure time: 2s; ISO: 100; Tripod used: yes
