This is one of the windows in the Aggstein Castle ruins. As you can see, it was a part of the partial renovation of the castle, and obviously, it was also the place where the workers left a mark.

This is a very nice spot above Spitz in Austria. From here you can walk around all the vineyards and have many great views of the city, the hills and the Danube. And one extra great thing, you can get almost completely up here with a car :) Thats always a big plus.

This is mostly one exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop, with a second exposure just used to brighten the shadows a little.

I don’t really like photos taken in the middle of very sunny days. But if I’m on a location because of something I have to take a photo of, that why not take some more. Same here with this photo from Spitz in Austria. It was just crazy sunny when I took this. It was like that for most of the last month anyway. Almost no clouds the whole time, and huge temperatures. At least it got a little colder now :)

As you can see from the photos, the weather last week was a little boring (and hot as hell). So no clouds, no nice sunset, nothing like that. But at least the locations were nice :)

This is a three tile panorama, each tile from 2 exposures, tone-mapped in Oloneo Photoengine.

Let’s continue with another panorama from Austria. This one is from one of the tower ruins of the Aggstein Castle. The view from the castle is just spectacular, being so high above the Danube.

This is a 3 tile panorama, each tile from 2 exposures. Most of the photo is from a single exposure, where I only brightened few parts from the second.
