New wallpapers

I neglected a little the wallpaper selection on my blog, so today I added three new ones. You can find them as always on my Desktop wallpaper page :)

The blue view of Prague

One of the hardest type of photos to edit, when yo need different white balance for the blue and yellow parts. So for anyone who is interested in my Photomatix settings, and other steps I did to edit this photo, check out my Facebook page where I posted a Photomatix screenshot together with a full description.

The yellow evening

The light on this street in Prague create such a yellow light. And with the overcast sky, everything was just yellow. At first I removed the color cast, did color correction so the sky was more blue, and the buildings more grey. But than I didn’t liked it anymore. This was for a simple reason. When I was there everything was yellow. If you shine a yellow light on a white wall, it will look yellow, so why should it be white in a photo?

When they turn on the lights

Each time when I take sunset shots, I wait for this moment. The one when they turn on the light, but there is still enough light that the photo is still a bright one.

Clouds in the park

The park in Lednice is such a great place to relax. It’s filled with small lakes and hidden places, that you can spend hours and hours there. I usually go to Lednice for two things. One is to take more photos by the Chateau and in the park and second is to eat very good traditional Czech food, as there is one great restaurant :)

From the neighboring bridge

A little different view of the Charles bridge in Prague. This is the view you get from the neighboring Manes bridge. As it was raining during the day, these nice soft clouds before sunset were a pleasant surprise.
