Brackets

Comparing to my other photos, this one is not so colorful. But why should every photo be very colorful. When the light is boring, the colors look boring. But as like how the composition and overall sharpness of this photo worked out, I still like it :) Overall photos like this are quite hard to blend. You have a very high difference between the darkest and lightest areas and the transition is very sharp. You have to be very careful so there are no artifacts there, so it all looks natural.

This is a manual blend from 5 shots. Photo taken on the SNP bridge in Bratislava.
Crossing the bridge

Quite a long time since I added a photo of Bratislava. I actually took almost no new photos here for the last two months. But finally yesterday I got out and took some new. Of course I completely forgot, that if I go to the river, there will be many bugs there. And so after few minutes of shooting, I was forced to move, as all the mosquito there were sucking the life from me. Next time I will be prepared :)

This is a HDR from 5 shots, created in Oloneo Photoengine, with another shot manually blended to remove the lens flares.

I somehow almost never shoot during the day. All my recent photos are early morning or sunset/late evening shots. The colors are just so much better, but also the freedom, not having to deal with many people in your photos, is great. So same here, taken around 6 in the morning, by the Bojnice castle. Of course I had the whole area to myself :)

Morning in Bojnice

This look really looks familiar to me. The bird looks at me exactly as people do, when I’m taking their photos. Like it was saying “Why are you taking a photo of me?”. Doesn’t it? :)
