New photographers on the list

From time to time I update my list of photographers, which I suggest you visit. And today I again updated the list with links to three great photographers. You can find the list in the menu on the right or directly here.

Classic view of Edinburgh

If you ever seen a photo of Edinburgh, there is a very high change you have seen one similar to this one. This really is the most popular view of Edinburgh I have seen :)

One of the cities in Slovakia I wanted to revisit for a long time was Bojnice. I was there around 4 years ago, right before I started with photography, and wanted a nice photo from there since then. Bojnice is a small city, but the very beautiful castle there is the most visited castle in Slovakia and one of the biggest tourist attraction in the area. So this weekend I went there and spend two days just taking photos of it. I thought of maybe also going inside, but seeing the number of people there changed my mind. The annual ghost festival draws a lot of visitors and the waiting times for the castle get really long :)

The location if this train station in Edinburgh is quite interesting. Having it so in the middle of the city, and in a small valley, that most of the time you are above the station, when you are in the city. And then at night, when they turn on the lights, it looks even more crazy :)

What a colorful reflection the Mailbox gives (Mailbox is a shopping center in Birmingham, UK). Usually you don’t get so much different colors in landscape and architectures shots. But as the Mailbox is red, I had a nice blue hour and the surrounding light were yellow and green, I got everything :)

Zoomable Panoramas

Panoramas give you such a unique view but they also loose a lot of what you see, when you just see them in a small resolution. And as my photos are a lot about details, anything above 30Mpix just can be nicely seen in a resolution destined for web. So for those photos, I include a zoomable version, were you can see much more of the photos. I have moved all of them onto one page, which you can find here or through the menu on the right.

Prague

I wanted to do a panorama from the Petrin tower for a longer time, but never got to it. The view is just stunning, as you can see the the whole city. But as always when I was there before, it was completely full of people, I was a little scared if I will be able to use a tripod. But here is where the ugly weather worked in my favor. As the day was quite ugly and only got better around sunrise, the tower was mostly empty and I could shoot as much as I wanted. It shakes a little and having the lens stable at 200mm was not so easy, but a lot of photos worked out. As this is also a big panorama, you can find a zoomable version under Panoramas or directly here. I suggest checking it out :)
