I already posted few photo from the Amsterdam canals, but this one is from a different spot than all the others :) There are just so many spots like this there, with every other street being a canal :)

I’m currently running around Vienna, and will be back tomorrow. So I hope I had some nice weather (I’m writing this few days before :) ) and have for you a nice new shot from Vienna tomorrow :)

As I always say, it’s very nice to take photos in the early morning. Absolutely no people, and you can even take panoramas without anybody being in the way :) Not that I had a nice sunrise while in Amsterdam, but I did what I always do in that case. Try to do the most shooting during the blue hour, and include only very little from the sky.

This one was quite a big panorama, created from 5 tiles, each one from 4 exposures. You can see a work in progress shot on the side, from when I tone-mapped it in Oloneo Photoengine.

Yes, I even took a panorama of this :) I just wanted to have a photo where a huge part of it were just the letters, so I did this.

This is a 2 tile panorama, each one from 4 exposures.

Guide update

Some time ago I posted a guide on how to create a cityscape reflection in Photoshop, and today I updated it also with a video version. You can visit it to see it video, or do it right here :) Compared to the written tutorial, I also added a second way of blurring the reflection, for a little different look :)

Amsterdam canals

More and more and more panoramas. The more I get into my photos, the more I want to get there. And panos just looks so great on a huge screen :)

So here is another panorama, taken in Amsterdam. This is a 2 tile 4 exposure panorama.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2×4, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 24mm, Aperture: 6.3, Middle exposure time: 20s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 52.36671, 4.884720

Let’s go back to Amsterdam for today, with a new photo. This is of course a very often seen sight in Amsterdam, canals and bikes. You get this on every single street. The amount of bikes there is just crazy :)

This is a HDR from 4 exposure, created in Oloneo Photoengine. The red part in front, is from a car (or bike, I don’t remember anymore) that passed by while I was taking the shot.
