Remembering the Dead

As Halloween is not really celebrated in Slovakia, we have our own variant of a day of the dead. It’s called Dusicky here and the tradition is to go and put candles on the graves. I live not far from the Martinsky cintorin (Martin Cemetery) in Bratislava, so I went and took few shots. Only few, in a side alley, as I think you shouldn’t disturb people in such a place.

Floating

I visited the Medrano Circus ( http://www.medrano.it) yesterday, as it is currently in Bratislava. And as I couldn’t resist I took few (hundred :) ) shots. Most of them are just bad, blurry, or under/overexposed, but some of them are quite nice. I had to use a really high iso, as I would never use flash at such a performance. For the photo I used ISO 5000. It created quite a lot of noise, but Lightroom removed it quite nicely :)

Not a HDR. This one was taken with Canon 7D with Sigma 18-200mm lens, handheld

Bratislava Sunset

To break up all the Prague photos, here is one from Bratislava :). One more shot I took in the Ruzinov park at sunset.

Castle and the Bridge

Different days give really different results. I took a similar photo to this one many times, but each time it looks different.

Stunning sunset

Sometime the sunset is just so stunning. I can’t believe, that before I started taking photos, I almost never noticed the sky. And I see that most people don’t see this. They just never look up. I’m very glad that I do.
