I think that’s usually done here :) This is the chandelier, I posted a photo of some time ago (this one). In that photo, I placed the tripod directly in the middle of the room, on that small podium.
I used exposure fusion instead of tone-mapping for this one. I noticed, that especially for interior shots, it gives me much cleaner and sharper results. And that’s what I’m going for.
When you start taking photos, it will eventually lead you to places you usually don’t go. And that’s such a great thing. So this time it’s a small lounge inside the Carlton hotel in Bratislava. It’s quite a challenging room to shoot in. You have a combination of natural and artificial light, and so many mirrors, so you have to be careful not to be seen in them.

I haven’t done a double tone-mapped HDR in a long time and this photo gave me the opportunity. I went for a little more grunge look, with a lot of detail and de-saturated colors. I think it works here.
If you don’t know what double tone-mapping is, check out my HDR tutorial, part 2 exactly :)
I know, it’s another photo of Bratislava castle. But as it is so dominant in Bratislava, you just have to take more photos of it. Same as when photographers from Paris have a lot of photos of the Eiffel tower, I have a lot of photos of the Bratislava Castle :)
A little more unusual place and not seen by many people. This is inside the small chapel in Bratislava Castle. If you ever been in Bratislava and seen the castle, you will notice a big ugly window on the side, which really doesn’t fit there. And this is right behind that window. It’s a little empty, as the castle is still under reconstruction, but still interesting. Also I took this early this year, and as you can see the weather was not perfect that day.
