This is a blue lit tree I found in a side street in Vienna. It actually looks to be a popular restaurant, as I could not take a shot without someone walking in or out. Took me few attempts to at least have the door close in the photo :)
I can’t believe my blog was selected as one of the 20 best photoblogs of 2012 by Photoblog Awards. It came as a really big surprise for me. It’s a great end to the last year and great start to a new one. The compelte list can be found on the Photoblog Awards page.
I visited Vienna for few hours yesterday, and of course I also took few photos :) This is a small nativity scene in the St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna. There were two of these, one of each side of the cathedral. This HDR is only from a single RAW file, as no tripods allowed and for this I held the camera down on a railing. Looks quite good for a 2s exposure :)
This week will be mostly about fireworks shots. For those interested, they are not really HDR. All are created from a single RAW file, in which I expanded the dynamic range in Lightroom and in Photoshop.
I was for one unpleasant surprise when I learned that they moved the fireworks to a different location (after years of them being on the same spot), and I learned this few minutes before midnight. Still I managed to get to a new spot quite quickly and take some photos. And I think few of them will be usable :) So happy new year to you all :)
