Today I have for you two photos. Better said, a photo and it’s variant. While I was editing this cityscape shot from Bratislava, it reminded me of this reflection tutorial by Jimmy McIntire http://www.throughstrangelenses.com/2013/06/23/cityscape-photoshop-tutorial/ so I just tried out how it looked like. And here is the photo and also the fake reflection variant. It does not even look that bad :)

This is a manual blend from 7 photos.

This is an edit of the above photo in Photoshop.

A little more colorful photo today. I went with more saturation and glow for this one, to get the feel I wanted. But it depends a lot on the screen you are viewing the photo on. It looks completely different on my screen, my tablet or my phone (I have to say, the amoled on my phone looks just incredible :)). And it also looks different based on the light conditions and on what you were looking before on (if you look on something saturated before and then look at it, it will look really washed out :)). So having the exact color I want is really not that simple, or even possible.

This is a manual blend form 3 shots, taken next to the Bojnice castle in Bojnice.

What should one do when one went to the city to shoot the sunrise and it rained? Go into the metro and take photos there :) Prague metro around 5:30 is nice and empty and you can take as many shots as you want. During the morning shoot I took this photo I actually visited three different metro station in under 30 minutes. Just always took few photos and moved to the next stop.

This is a manual blend from 5 exposures, taken at the Náměstí Republiky metro stop in Prague.

Somehow the London photo are the most popular photos from all I have posted. The number of views on my portfolio are now 5 time higher than they were before London photos :) And so here is another London shot, for all those that like them so much :)

This is a manual blend from 5 shots.

Not the most beautiful photo of the Grande Arche, because as you can see, the weather was horrible. But as I don’t have any photos with good weather from there, this will do.

This is a HDR from 5 shots, created in Oloneo Photoengine, then manually blended with two of the original exposures.
