I had this beautiful car available for a small photo-shoot today. As always it’s nice to shoot something different from time to time. Took me a long time to think of a nice (or interesting place) to go to, but in the end I remembered that there is a not very used road right under the highway close to my flat. So that’s where we went.

I took quite a few photos, so you will probably see more of them here. I regret a little that I forgot to use a polarizing filter, to try at least to remove a little of the reflection. But one learns best on ones own mistakes, so will know next time :) This photo is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. And you can see one behind the scenes shots on the side.

This one really didn’t wanted to be combined. It always was a little off. I even tried to combine it in Photoshop (which I almost never do), but it just refused to work nicely. In the end I had to remove almost half from one of the shots, so the rest blends nicely. You can see a screenshot from PTgui on the side. Repeating texture is really hard for panorama software :)

I took this photo in the spring in the Open air museum in Bardejovske Kupele in Eastern Slovakia. It’s a two shot vertorama, each shot from 5 esposures. Vertorama created in PTgui and HDR blended in Oloneo Photoengine. Finished in Photoshop.

Just as a little reminder that you can download my free eBook on how to shoot fireworks, how about another photo full of fireworks? :)

This is a single exposure edited in Oloneo Photoengine and finished in Photoshop. You may wonder why I edited it in Oloneo, but the reason is simple. I needed to brighten the dark areas, and the algorithm of Photoengine does a better job, than doing it just in Lightroom.

How about one more from the fireworks over Kuchajda. I actually wanted to post something different today, but as somehow I had less time today, I went with something I already had finished earlier. But will do something different tomorrow :)

This is a single image, edited in Lightroom, Oloneo Photoengine and Photoshop.

As I mentioned yesterday, I got some nice fireworks shots yesterday, so how about another one :) As you can see, I underestimated how high the fireworks will be, so they got a little cut off. But still the 16mm lens got a huge part of them.

Btw. if you want to know how I take fireworks photos, you can check the guide I made, or you can get the free ebook, that is available here, for all newsletter subscribers.
