Learning Japanese

Yesterday I added a page to this blog, that has absolutely nothing to do with photography. But some of you may find it interesting. Recently I started learning Japanese, and as I like to learn stuff on my own, I do the same with this. And since it takes so much time, I put together a page that documents what I use and how I progress. And you can see it here :)

Purple fireworks

For now this is the last from the St. Stephens day fireworks in Budapest. I of course have more photos of it, but am not planing to edit more right now. Probably sometime later :) Now the question is, which one do you like the most? This purple? The red, blue or green one? :)

This is a single RAW, edited in Lightroom, Oloneo Photoengine and Photoshop.

As I’m feeling sick today, and trying to rest at least a little (it’s harder than one would think), let’s continue with my fireworks rainbow. I’m calling it that way, because I tried to select the fireworks photos, so each one is a different color. And I almost got the whole rainbow last time. So for today, a red one :)

This is a single RAW file, edited in Oloneo Photoengine, Lightroom and Photoshop.

At first I called this one “Just green” but then one of my friends noted, that he really like it because it is the color of Absinthe, so I changed it :) This is of course another photo from the St. Stephan’s fireworks in Budapest. I have few more ready, but each one in a different color. Something like a fireworks rainbow :)

This is a single RAW file, edited once in Lightroom, and second time in Oloneo Photoengine, put together in Photoshop.

I planed to share something different than fireworks today, but as I’m busy with a different work and since I edited few fireworks photos yesterday, here is one of them. And for those who missed it, you can get a free ebook I wrote exactly about taking photos of fireworks, and it can be found here.

This is a single RAW file, once edited in Oloneo Photoengine and once in Lightroom, blended in Photoshop.

As I mentioned before, I didn’t have the best spot for this year St. Stephens fireworks, as I changed it during the fireworks. So the view was not optimal, with one building just being in the way. And you can also see it in this photo, as it blocks part of the bridge. But since it all looked very cool, I got some photos anyway. And I think you will also like it.

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom, Oloneo Photoengine and Photoshop. Actually I created two versions, one in Lightroom, one in Photoengine, and put them together in Photoshop.
