I went completely down to the river for this show. I will probably end in the river one day while doing this, as standing on the rock is not so easy. But the shot came out nicely.
I took 9 shots for this one, because I wanted to have at least some detail on the front of the ship, and you can see in the comparison that it was really dark. There was no light source there.
This is a piece of an aqueduct in the park by the Chateau in Lednice. The whole park is such a nice place to take a walk, especially during summer, as it’s filled with lakes and small bridges.
I used only three brackets for this one, and as you can see, it was quite enough. Check out the before/after to see a comparison to the 0EV shot.
Maybe some of you have already notice, but from now, when you click on a photo, you are no longer redirected to smugmug. Now you directly get a lightbox with a bigger version of the photo, and you can use the arrow keys or click on the big photo to go through all the photos on the page. I think that this is much simpler and more convenient way to the old one. I hope you will like it.
I went with a very old photo today, over two years. It’s from the Open-Air Museum of folk architecture in Bardejovske Kupele in eastern Slovakia. There are many of them in Slovakia and also a huge number of wooden churches scattered around the country. I think it would make for a great photo series.
The original photo was horrible, and I tried to pull as much as possible from it. Check out the comparison, to see what I mean.
As all photographers, I prefer to take my photos around sunset. But sometime, especially during winter months, the sunsets are quite boring. With a clear sky, they look mostly grey. So what I do, is I wait for the blue hour. Even with a clear sky, the blue is really stunning.
This is one of my older photos, still taken with the Canon 450D. You really can see the difference, when you look closely. The 5D mark II with the Canon lens makes much more sharper images.
What a place this is. When I first entered, I thought it was endless. The rows of pillars just repeat into the distance. It’s just stunning. And as I was there quite late (around 7 o’clock) it was completely empty. Just me and my camera. It was also a great place for HDR. If you look at the before/after comparison, you will see that the bottom part was quite dark, with the ceiling brightly lit. A perfect example for when to use HDR.
