I could not decide what photo to edit today, and as I had quite a lot of exterior shots recently, I decided for and interior shot instead. This one I took last summer in the Pannonhalma monastery in Hungary.
This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.
I remember when I started with photography, seeing photos like this one and just not understanding how it was taken. The view from the lens I had (18-200mm) just never looked like that. Of course than I got a nice wide angle lens (10-20 at that time) and I understood immediately. Until one tries one out, one will never understand the difference few mm of focal length can make. The view is just do different.
For this shot I went with the 16mm focal length (of course on a full frame sensor :)). One can get quite an interesting view, by lowering the camera down and pointing it up. This is a HDR from 7 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. Photo taken in the Hungarian state opera in Budapest.
And one more city post. Today it’s from Budapest.

Yesterday Trey Ratcliff published a new video tutorial on his page. And I have to say, it looks quite interesting. You can even find a free 40 minutes tutorial video there. But he also announced a photo contest for everyone who purchases the tutorial. The all expenses paid photo trip to New Zealand sound so good :) Check it out on his tutorial page.
I published quite a few photos already from this sunrise, but I still got few that I really like. It was one of those sunrises, when you try to get as many photos as you can, and they all look good :)

My review of Photomatix pro is quite short, but as I described a lot of it in my HDR tutorial, you can find much more there. But anyway, you can find my review of Photomatix Pro 5 here.
You very often read in headlines, that a photo will blow you away. I personally try to avoid that types of descriptions in my photos, as they never mean anything. But here it is different. While I was taking this, the strong wind almost blown me away :) It of course took away a lot of sharpness from the photo, but I think its still manageable.
This is a single exposure edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
