Ups and downs

Work screenFunny thing about editing photos. Sometime one is not in the mood to do it at all, sometime one can’t stop. And I was in the second mood yesterday, so I was editing until around 3am :) So there are already few new photos ready for the blog, which you will see in the following days. Hope this mood keeps on for the whole 2018 :)

Long exposure sunset over Danube

The sunset yesterday looked nice, but a bit cloudy and windy. So instead of just taking photos, I did a lot of long exposures. Same as yesterday, this is also one, but this one is also a panorama. If you are curious on how hard it is to combine a long exposure panorama, it is as easy as normal photo. You will just have to correct the blend, like in the sky and water here, as the clouds and water move too much in a long exposure for Lightroom to blend them properly. No problems with static parts of the scene of course :)

This photo was taken from the new Old bridge in Bratislava. The bridge gives a really nice view, but as every bridge, it’s not so great for photos. As it’s a tram bridge, it shakes like crazy every time a tram passes by. I had to redo the photos few times, until it was acceptably sharp. But still not as much as I would like to, but you can see that only at 100%.

This is a two shot panorama, taken using a VFFOTO 10 stop ND filter. Combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

It’s quite interesting to see which of my posts are the most popular. And the Best nine site offers a nice recap for Instagram every year. As I post there mostly at random, from my photo library, this are from all over the place. But I can see why these became the most liked ones :) You can follow my Instagram account here.

Here are the best nine from 2016 and 2017.

Mirror like Danube

The weather today in Bratislava was so nice. Why could it not be like this for the midnight fireworks I don’t know, but it usually work out like this. What can you do :)

So I went out to take few photo and here is one of them. For this one, I used a VFFoto 10stop ND filter and I did a 4 minute exposure, to get the Danube river very soft almost mirror like. I still had to brighten the photo quite a bit, as I overestimated how much light there was, but it still work out fine.

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

New year in the fog

Happy new year everyone. Hope you all have a great start into the new year. For me in Bratislava, it was a bit foggy. As every year, I tried to get some new photos of the fireworks. And while I got some, you can’t see much in them. The whole city is currently covered in a heavy fog, and it got even worse when the smoke from the fireworks was added. Still, here are few from today, looking more artistic this time :)

Happy New Year

Since I don’t have a really nice photo from today, here is a backup one, from few years ago, that I edited today :)
