A lot of you liked the first photo I shared from Hallstatt, and here is another one. This one is a little less frequent view, as to get this close I had to use a 200mm lens.

This is a HDR from 2 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS II, Focal length: 150mm, Aperture: 13, Middle exposure time: 0.4s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 47.557091, 13.647542

While taking this shot, the clouds were passing by quite fast. So each time, I took few shots, the clouds covered everything, I waited until it cleared and took few shots again. It was actually quite fun :)

This one was also taken from the Edelweisspitze, and it is a HDR from three exposure, created in Oloneo Photoengine. You may notice quite a lot more photos now created only from three exposures, as the Sony does not allow for 5 exposures from -2 to +2, so I either use three form -1 to +1 or from -2 to +2. It works mostly just fine. If I’m not sure, I do the bracketing manually.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 16, Middle exposure time: 1/80s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 47.123674, 12.831890

And another photo from Austria today. This one is from the top of the Edelweisspitze ( 2571 meters over the sea level) overlooking the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. From what I heard, I was quite lucky to have such a nice weather here. Usually it’s completely covered with clouds, and even the first hour I was there you could not see anything. I almost left, but right then, the clouds moved and uncovered the valley. You can see in the small attached photo from my phone, how it looked around a hour before I took this shot :)

This is a HDR from 3 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 26mm, Aperture: 16, Middle exposure time: 1/60s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 47.123548, 12.830700

And I’m back home after the few days in Austria. I had only partial luck with weather this time, with my trip to Salzburg being completely worthless due to heavy rain the whole time I was there. But I still managed to visit other places, and get few nice shots.

So for today, a shot from Hallstatt, from one of the most popular spots there. And since it gives such a nice view, it’s not even a surprise. This is a HDR from three exposures.

I’m including a behind the camera shot today. Randomly, it was taken right after I took this shot :)

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 35mm, Aperture: 13, Middle exposure time: 5s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 47.564581, 13.649901

For today, another photo from the Northern Austria, or as it’s also know, Wachau. The whole area is just beautiful, with castles, vineyards and many great photo opportunities.

This is a blend from two exposures, edited in Photoshop.

Technique: Manual blend, Number of exposures: 2, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 52mm, Aperture: 14, Middle exposure time: 1/20s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.358472, 15.406886
