Traunsee reflection – plotagraph

No new photo today, but a new plotagraph. This one is from the Traunsee in Austria, from a photo I shared about a week ago. If you want to see all the plotagraphs on the blog, just head over to the Plotagraph category. As always, you can find a drop-down menu with all the categories at the bottom of every page.

You can check out my Plotagraph Pro review here, and a guide how to create them here.

Evening reflection at the Schloss Ort

This photo is taken at the same lake as the one from yesterday. It’s even from the evening of the same day. We tried for a sunset shot, but the weather was a bit boring, as the sky completely cleared right before sunset. So we thought we wait for the light to be turned on on the castle (Schloss Ort). But also no luck there. It obviously is not turned on during winter. So instead, I just got some long exposures here.

This is a blend of two exposure, edited in Lightroom and finished in Photoshop. I used the Formatt Hitech 10 stop ND filter for this shot.

Sunny day in Winter

The weather in Bratislava is still horrible, so for today, I share with you another photo taken at the Traunsee in Austria two weeks ago. Surprisingly, there in the Austrian Alps it looked more like Spring than Winter. Not that it did not change the next day :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop. U used a 10stop ND filter to blur the water, to get a very nice reflection.

Long exposure reflection at Traunsee

This is another photo from the trip two weeks ago to the Traunsee in Austria. It was quite a pleasant surprise to get such a nice sky in the middle of the winter. I was expecting more of rain or snow than this. But it worked out.

For this photo, I did a two shot panorama, each one with a 10 stop ND filter. For this I used the Formatt Hitech Firecrest filter. I had to use this one, as I used the 16-35mm lens, and I don’t have other filters for the 82 radius lenses. It’s actually a pity that the 16-35 uses such big filters, and most lenses use a 77mm one, and this makes it less convenient to use them with this lens. Panorama combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

And here are few details:

Colorful sky – Plotagraph

For this Plotagraph, I just could not decide, if I want the clouds and the water to move in the same or in different directions. I tried it multiple times and redid the photo few times. In the end I decided to have them go in the same direction. Like this it feels like they are mowed by the wind. What do you think? Would it be better if they moved differently?
