I was really busy today, and away from home for the whole day. So not really any time to edit and prepare a new photo for the blog. So instead another one of the process series today. You will notice that I did not do many changes on this photo, but is not about how many changes you made, but if they make the photo look better :)

This is the final photo, open the full post to see the original shot and how it looked in photoshop:

Since the photo I posted yesterday, was from high up above Prague, today I’m posting a photo from high up above Paris. The Tour Montparnasse really gives a great view of the city. This was actually the highest building I ever visited (there aren’t many really high buildings in central Europe)

This is a manual blend from 5 shots.

I posted a lot of photos of the Prague castle as viewed from the city, but this time this is a view from the Petrin tower. The tower gives a really great view of Prague, and you even can use a tripod :)

This is a panorama from 2 photos, each one from 5 exposures.

If you seen my Photography composition guide, you seen that centering a subject is great for composition, if you want to show off symmetry. But if you shoot something like this you have to center it perfectly. If the symmetry is even a little bit off, it will look very distracting in the photo. I always try to find something on the ground, to center the camera on and then use live-view with a grid overlay. Having the camera perfectly in center is a little more important, as if its to the side, it’s much harder to correct it in post-processing.

This is a manual blend from 5 shots, taken in the La Defense Business district in Paris.

Something for those who don’t have a good camera, but still want to experiment with HDR. You can download the original raw files for this photo from here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xeaj3in493k5kmu/FysTgnR8XW and try to edit them. Feel free to share you results on my Facebook page.

No contest this time, this time it’s just for the fun of post-processing.

Feel free to share you results on your facebook/flickr/blog, but please don’t forget to give me credit for the photo and link back here. And of course, please don’t use this photo for any commercial purpose (I’m still the author )

Have fun
