I know.. it’s one more citiscape. But as have edited already so many photos from last year, I have to edit the new ones at least for few days :) This is one of the higher buildings in Bratislava, the Tower 115 (because it is 115m high) but this view will change shortly, as they are starting to build two new, higher buildings, right next to it.

Manual blend from two shots, photo taken from the Slavin memorial in Bratislava

And another photo from yesterday. I liked the purple tint in this one, so I did’t correct it at all. In this photo you can see the National bank of Slovakia (currently the highest building in Slovakia) and the inverted pyramid of Slovak radio building (probably the strangest building in Slovakia :) )

This is a manual blend from 5 exposures. Photo taken from under the Slavin memorial in Bratislava.

The weather in Bratislava got much better this week, so for today I chosen to go up to the Slavin Memorial. It’s one of the highest points in the city, but a lot of the view is obstructed by trees. So it was a great opportunity to use my 70-200mm lens, as I dont use it that much :) So this is fully zoomed in to 200mm. Manually blended from 5 photos and processed in Photoshop.

No new photo for today, but instead a new tutorial video :) This is a companion video for my HDR tutorial, specifically the first part How to take photos for HDR. So in this 13 minutes video I’m going through different ways of taking multiple shots, bracketing, manual bracketing, using a promote and using Magic lantern.

Hope you find it helpful :)

The freezing reflection

And not just the reflection, also I was freezing while I was taking this. And I was standing on the ice, which made some very disturbing sounds :)
