Testing out the Radian

As I mentioned few days before, I recently recieved my Radian time-lapse device, and yesterday I took it out first tine, and here is a compilation of few short clips I took. It’s only a rought edit, so don’t expect anything spectacular :) I still have to learn so much more about video editing :)

Sunset in Edinburgh

Each city should have something like this. A nice hill in the middle of a city, from where you get a great view of the city. Would make cityscape shots so much easier :)

Behind the camera photos

I tend to post a lot of behind the camera shots, work in progres screenshots and similar stuff on my Fabebook page (www.facebook.com/hdrshooter). So if you would like also to see more from behind the camera, feel free to become a fan :)

The Forth Rail bridge

Once I seen that this bridge is close to Edinburg, I had to visit it. If you look through my photos, you will notice a lot of them include bridges. They really are my favorite photo subject. And this is one very beautiful bridge.

I spend few hours by the bridge, just taking photos, and waiting until they turn on the lights, so I could get some nice blue hour shots. Unluckily for me, they turned them on around a hour later than they should. I presume it was because of the time change (switching to daylight savings time), which happened the day before. But still I got some nice shots :)

I always try to book hotels close to the city center, so I can go out to shoot early in the morning. And I did the same in Edinburgh. So I got up at 5:30 and took a walk trough the city. It’s so completely different than at night. Everything is so empty and calm, really great for photos :)

And another new city :) During my latest trip I also visited Edinburgh. It is a really lovely city in Scotland, just a little “under construction”. A lot of the center is construction yard, because they are adding new rails from trams. But still, a really nice city. In this photo I wanted to capture the building, but as the traffic was quite busy, a bus stopped directly in my way. But I liked the new composition with it, so I took the shot.
