Looking up

A big one today (60 Mpix :) ). Those of you who follow me on facebook know that I recently bought a Panoramic head, the Nodal Ninja 4. I also posted few shot of how it looks and how I used it for this photo there. And this is the first result I’m publishing.  This is a 180 degree vertorama, created from 7 photos. At first it should have been a HDR vertorama (I took multiple brackets), but as it was quite windy there, the ghosting was just too much. So instead I created this from single exposures, and I used some of the steps I do in HDR post processing on it.

As Smugmug is not so good for vertical photos (it creates very small versions of them)  I uploaded the big version directly to the blog. When you click on it, you will see a smaller one, which fits a screen :)

1967 Ford Mustang GTA

What a beauty this is. And I took this only handheld :). I had to be very quick, so I have no one in the shot. I was in the city yesterday and there was a veteran rally. And as I was walking around I found this beauty, with no one standing next to it. I managed to take two shot when other people noticed it and started moving around it. But I think the ones I got are really nice :)

Strong clouds over Kuchajda

Another cloudy shot. Just can’t keep away from editing them. I really don’t like clear skies.

Traveling without moving

One of my first experiments of photographing stars. I wanted to try it before, but the 450D gave me really noisy images for my satisfaction. But with the 5D it’s now much better.

I took this one at 2 a.m. at night, as I was waiting for the moon to set behind the mountains. You still can see a lot of light pollution in the photo, as there is a city behind the mountains. I also went with 8 minutes for this photo. I wanted to try 30 minutes, but I was too tired to wait there for 30 minutes without falling a sleep. And as I was standing above a cliff, I had to be careful so I don’t fall down. And of course this is not a HDR :)

Sunny day in the woods

It was a very sunny day, so I decided to spend some time in the woods. I think I spend more time laying on the ground and enjoying the sun, than taking photos :)

I had to do a lot of ghost removal in this one, as there was quite a wind, moving the tops of the trees.
