Night view of Vienna

This is probably my favorite view of Vienna. While the old city center is beautiful, it does not provide many spots for a nice cityscape. Viena, as many more cities, is just too flat to get a nice view in the center. One has to get more further from it, and this is the one you get, the view from Leopoldsberg.

I stopped there again last Sunday, and while the sunset was quite boring, the clear sky allowed for a very long line of sight. And you can see it here, where you can even see the airport in the distance behind the city.

And since this is such a big photo, you can go here, to see a 9 times bigger version than is here. This is a 3 shot panorama, combined and edited in Lightroom, Few finishing touches done in Photoshop.

Stacked rocks at the 5 fingers

I don’t really believe I would have the patience to stack rocks. And I think my hands shake to much anyway (thats why I prefer to use a tripod all the time :))

This was one of the rock stacks I seen at the 5 fingers. 5 fingers is a lookout place high above Hallstatt in Austria. You can see part of the beautiful view in the background, and I will share sometime more photos from here.

This is a blend of two images, done in Photoshop.

Early morning in Hallstatt

And until I get back, here is one of my recent photos, taken in Hallstatt in Austria. This was right around the sunrise, when the sun was still hiding behind the mountain to the left.

This is a 5 shot panorama, combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

At the Skywalk Hohe Wand in Austria

Today I took a bit of a break from Photoshop and visited the Skywalk Hohe Want in Austria. This is a walkway going out from a mountain side. It gives a nice view of the valley, but it really is not a place for people that are afraid of heights. Luckily, I am not, so I could enjoy the view :). I just could not place my tripod firmly on it, as the ground was a steel mesh, and the tripod legs would fall through it.

So this photo is not directly from the skywalk, but from the side of it. You can see the skywalk on the left. And you can also see a paraglider on the right here. There were so many of them, just flying around. Could be fun, but definitively not for me :)

This is a two shot panorama, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

The road through the Alps

With all the photos I edited over the years, I still prefer the sunset and blue hour shots to the daytime ones. I just am never really happy with the results I get in the daytime. I always feel like I’m missing something. But what can I do, other than try and try again, until I get to what I like :)

This is one of the shots I took at the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria, sometime in the middle of 2015. It’s a single exposure, edited in Photoshop.
