Travel photos

Always when I’m traveling I post a lot of behind the camera photos onto my FB page, so feel free to stop by at https://www.facebook.com/hdrshooter. If all goes as planed, I should be somewhere on the Ljubljana castle right now :)

Calm waters

The only way to get a calm Danube, is to go out shooting very early in the morning (and a long exposure also helps a little :)). Same here in Budapest. There are absolutely no ships on the Danube around the sunrise and with a calm water as this, you will also get very nice reflection.

This is a HDR created from 7 shots created in Oloneo Photoengine and finished in Photoshop.

It would be so great to have a sky like that each time I go out to take photos. But on the other hand, it would probably be boring after some time. So it’s probably best that it is how it is :)

Adding glow to your photos

Few days ago I added a new tutorial to this blog, this time about how to add glow to your photos. I use this technique in almost all of my photos, and I think you will find it interesting (and very easy :)). You can see the tutorial here: Adding glow to your photos. You can also find a Photoshop action there, which does all that for you :)

The Morning Light

I just cant stop editing photos from that morning. All have such a great sky, that other photos looks just boring :). So here is another one from last Monday in Budapest. It was very funny to me, to see a young couple sitting right next to the place I was, watching a movie on a notebook, completely ignoring the stunning sunrise that was in front of them. I wonder why they went there at such an hour if not for that.

I know, I know, another shot of the bridge. It was just such a beautiful sunrise, that I just edit one photo after another from it :) Hope nobody minds.

As I mentioned yesterday, I had few more photos of the Liberty bridge prepared. Most of them are from the sunrise, but this one is from the evening blue hour. You can actually very easily determine if its evening or morning just by looking at the water. If the reflection is nice, it’s morning, it its not nice it’s evening. There are so many ships on the Danube, that the almost water never gets calm in the evening.
