Christmas themed wallpapers

It’s been a long time that I updated the desktop wallpapers page on this blog. And now is the time for a new update. This time all the new wallpapers are Christmas themed :) You can find them all here (or you can use the ling in the right hand menu :) )

Central Christmas tree

Not central because it’s in the center of the city, but because the shopping center in which it is is called Central :) I noticed that I had no Christmas themed photo on my blog, so I went and took this one. I really like how it looks, as the tree is across three floors of this shopping center. It is actually the newest center in Bratislava, opened only 1 or 2 months ago (that’s why on the map you don’t see it :) ). I took this one only handheld and it’s also from a single raw. I really don’t like shooting handheld, but without a permit I know a tripod would have attracted the guards.

Warm colors

My plan for today was to go out, and take some photos of the Christmas decorations in Bratislava. But as the weather here is absolutely horrible (it’s cold, foggy and it’s raining), I was in the mood for something more colorful and warm. And I think this one fits :)

New Myspace

I was curious.. so I created an account on the new Myspace page. I think they have the best look from all the social networks, too bad they are so oriented towards musicians. I really like that the page makes full use of a big widescreen monitor, when scrolling through posts. You can find my profile under: https://new.myspace.com/miroslav.petrasko

Freezing above Hviezdoslav Square

A little different view of the Bratislava center. The Hviezdoslav square is the biggest one in Bratislava and usually filled with small stands selling different stuff. Currently it of course is the Christmas market (with a tree and a skating ring, which are not visible here, but I have more photos :) ). I really have to find some gloves in which I can control the camera. My fingers were freezing the whole time I was taking photos from here :)

Snow arrived in Bratislava

So we got snow today in Bratislava. And it’s still snowing. I didn’t have so much time, so I just went for a while into the close by park, to take few photos. Btw. the light in the background really give of a green light, just not so saturated as in the photo. That is a result of the processing, and I liked it, so I haven’t corrected it :)

The sweetest photo

I took this photo just for fun, as I was wondering how it will look like :) And it is just as I thought it will be, very detailed and very saturated. But still interesting in HDR :)
