Castle next to Danube

When I finished this photo, I noticed some strange “artifacts” on the bottom, on the water. At first I thought I did something wrong in the processing, and then I found that it’s the reflection of the clouds :) It just looks a little strange.

I took this photo around two weeks ago, when I went out shooting with Jim Nix who is also a HDR photographer and also has his own HDR photography blog at http://www.nomadicpursuits.com/ . If you check out his blog, he posted a photo from the same evening just yesterday. We really had luck for great clouds, and for usable weather. Just around two hours before this photo was taken, there was a heavy rain in Bratislava.

The fish-eye view of Bratislava

This is my very first fish-eye HDR. I tried to remove the distortion as good as I knew, and I think for a first photo is quite good. But I still see a lot of errors in it. But it will get better :) I also took a panorama of this view, so I hope I add it soon to this blog.

Tatra 57A

Somehow I have more photos of old cars, than of new cars :) Probably that’s because there are not so many exotic cars in Bratislava, and taking photos of the regular ones is a little boring. But there are a lot of nice old cars in the Transport Museum here and quite a lot you can see a veteran rally or a gathering.

Exploding sky

This was not even such a long exposure (2s) but I got so much in this shot. There was quite a lot of wind during the fireworks, and it was blowing towards me. So it made  it all look like the fireworks were falling directly on me.

Petrzalka is one of the city parts of Bratislava. It’s one of the newer parts, with almost no historical buildings. When I finished this, I was about to crop this photo so the horizon is on the golden mean line, and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw, that it already perfectly aligned to it. Looks like after few years of shooting almost always by the golden ratio, I use it without thinking :) View the full post to see how the photo from the camera looked like
