And this is the other extreme I have luck for. I either get no clouds or these crazy stormy clouds. It has been actually like this the whole summer, going from one extreme to another. What can you do.

Again to break up the Paris shots, here is one older, from Cesky Krumlov. this one is from the very cold snowy sunrise I had there. From the location I was standing at, the sun shown itself so nicely, right behind the castle tower :)

From the clouds in the distance it haven’t looked that much for rain, but just few minutes after I took this shot, I got completely soaked by a freakishly strong storm. I have no idea where it came from, and it again passed after few minutes. Of course I had to stop taking photos, and go back to the flat to change :)

One can’t even tell that there was a concert with quite a lot of people right behind me. The stage was only around 5-10m behind me. It really was noisy and I did not like the music that much also. But what can you do if you are in a city only for a short while. One just has to make the best of it :)

This is a HDR from three exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. The sky is from one of the exposures, the rest is HDR. I also removed few people from the bridge, as they just bothered me in the shot.

I really tend to go more towards more colorful photos. Especially evening and night photos, with all the lights can produce so much color in one shot. But as you know, not every day is like that, and some rainy clouds can make all look much more grey. But maybe for a change, even a less colorful photo could be nice :)

This is a HDR from three exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine (could have done probably also without it, just used it to recover few shadows) and finished in Photoshop.
