Taken at the one of the Top 5 Spots in Bratislava I mentioned yesterday. Really great one for reflections. I also did a lot of masking on this one, as I wanted avoid the ice look for the water. So I just placed one of the original shots over the HDR and then lowered it’s opacity, until I liked the water, and then added a mask, so it only affects the water.
Another reflection photo. I just can’t stop taking them :) Yesterday I again had one of those days, when I just can decide what photo to put here. It happens from time to time. So in the end I decided for this one :)
Another ship themed photo. The yesterdays elevator was on a similar ship to this one. And as summer is closer and closer there are more ships on Danube. Not as big as the ones cruising the seas, but still huge :)
During a little photo work I had the opportunity to visit a beautiful new ship called Amacerto, which now cruses the Danube river. I had little time, so I took only few shots inside, but I couldn’t resist to take a shot of this glass elevator. It reminds me a little of the one in the Old town hall in Prague.
I used the fish-eye lens on this one. I’m still getting used to it, and I thought that this would make a nice scene for it. I removed the distortion a little, as I was standing quite close and it was a little to much for my taste. Is it just me, or It is quite hard to center a fish-eye photo? I was a little off on this one, and I’m still not sure it perfectly symmetrical.
Just another view of the Bratislava castle. I took this one just yesterday. As you can see, the weather was just beautiful. And the light was so nice, that I could get this image without even using bracketing. I could get all the light into one shot, without having any black areas or any overexposed areas. I even took this one handheld :). I of-course did HDR processing on it, to lighten the hill a little and darken the sky a little. But not very much.
Btw. those little tents, you can see next to the castle, were a food festival :)
