RAW files

Those of you who follow the blog, know that I do a contest from time to time, where I provide RAW files to one of my photos for the contestants to edit. But did you know that if you still want those raw files, you still can download the ones from the last two rounds and experiment as much as you want :)

You can find the ones from the third round here and the ones from the fourth round here.

Morning light in Paris

I’m currently a little scarce for new photos, as haven’t been traveling that much last months. But what’s good is, that if all goes according to plan, I will visit many new places and cities next month. I so like adding new countries and cities to the blog. The more the better, don’t you think? :)

So for today I chosen a photo from my last years trip to Paris, taken the only sunrise that was actually nice when I was there. Even without any clouds, the view was quite nice :) This is a HDR crated from 6 exposures in Oloneo Photoengine and finished in Photoshop. I used a 10 stop ND filter, while shooting this to blur the water and the passing cars.

Master exposure blending – raffle

Just a reminder, that you can still join my raffle, where I’m giving away two copies of my Master Exposure blending video tutorial. You can join the raffle here.

Notre Dame in the rain

I spend another day just tweaking the blog and adding content to it. So if you notice some new pages here and there, that’s normal :) But still there is so much more I want to change and add.  A blog is like a living thing. It has to evolve and maybe even mutate. It’s never finished. But I’m very glad that more and more people visit the blog, even if it’s currently less than it was in winter. But I noticed that every year. Probably during the cold months, people spend more time at a computer, probably :)

But to the photo I’m sharing today. It’s one from my last years trip to Paris, taken during a very rainy evening by the Notre Dame. It’s a HDR created from 5 exposures in Oloneo Photoengine, and then blended with original photos in Photoshop.

I was looking back through my photos, and for today I chosen one from Paris. This is the view from the top of the Eiffel tower, overlooking a big part of the city. It all looks so tiny :)

This is a HDR created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in PHotoshop.

I think you will recognize the landmark in this photo very quickly, even if it’s completely blurred in the background :) And for those who don’t, it’s of course the Eiffel tower in Paris.

I quite like this composition, as it was shoot through this damaged glass monument nearby, called the Peace Monument. Just a little different take on a classic shot.

This is a single image, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Yesterday’s post was full of photos of Prague, so today, let’s look at Paris.
