This would look much better if I took the photo few minutes later. But as I was on my way to the bridge (the one on the photo yesterday), I only took few photos and moved on. There was really a short while, when the street light were still on and the morning blue hour had already enough light. And for that time I wanted to be by the bridge. Btw. as you can see, the tower on the Hungarian Parliament is not lit, as they turn it off during the night :)

I almost lost my lens hood when I was shooting that morning. I still was a little sleepy (I got up at 3:50 after a 4 hour sleep) and I haven’t noticed that the lens hood is not correctly attached. And as I moved to a new spot, it fell of and started rolling towards the Danube. I actually caught it after it went over the edge, which was almost quite stupid of me, as I few centimeters more I would be over the edge too. One really has to be careful :)

Detailed edit

Today I used a little different post-processing on my photo. As I haven’t used Topaz adjust in a long time and was looking how to add more detail to this photo, I tried it out. And the spicify preset with some tweeking created quite intersting results. For those interested, this was taken in the St. Sebaldus Church in Nuremberg.

Crooked sunset

Not the usual composition for me, but I love to try something a little more crazy from time to time. This looks really great when you rotate your monitor, to fit the rotation of the photo :)

Hiding from the guards

As each day, a new photo from me. Even today, when the voting for the contest winner started :) (you can vote on Facebook). This is another photo from the Hungarian Parliament. In the middle you can see one of the guards, and right behind him is the Hungarian crown. The guards there are real professionals. Even in a few second exposure, there was almost no movement from them :)
