A little different shot from Bratislava. This time it of the surrounding area of the Chateau of Prievoz, with the Slovnaft refinery in the distance. As my longest lens is currently only 70mm (as I can’t use my lenses from the 450D), I planed to crop this photo, to have a closer view of the Chateau. But as I started to edit the HDR, I started liking the full photo more and more, so I cropped absolutely nothing.
The best view from Bratislava. If you are visiting, you should definitively go to the top of the New Bridge to see it.
Sometime you just don’t know what looks better, the landscape or clouds. It rained few hour before, so I had high hopes for the sunset. It wasn’t very colorful, but still a stunning sunset.
I went with 7 brackets for this one, as that’s my usual. But 5 would have been quite enough. The light was quite flat, not many shadows here. Also the sky is from one of the original shots, just post-processed in Photoshop.
I tried to get a nice reflection in this one, but the river was just not calm enough. so I got at least some colors reflected. I was also planing to add something different today, but just had no time to edit.
I love shooting fireworks. It’s a little hit and miss all the time, as there are not so many opportunities, when to take photos of them. These time they were directly in the middle of the city, over Danube. So I found my self a spot, so I have the castle and them in one photo. And I think it worked out nicely.
Of course this is a HDR from a single RAW file. Also I used Oloneo HDR instead of Photomatix, as it gives me better results with photos, where there is a lot of black space.
