Palm in the Palm house

I really need some new photos. Editing the same stuff over and over is just not fun. You need to switch between editing and taking photos, so it doesn’t get frustrating over time. I even vent so much back today, that I chosen a photo taken with my old Canon 450D for today. It’s funny that this photo is already almost two years old.

As everyone, each time I buy any new software online, I look around for a coupon code to make my purchase cheaper. And as from time to time I also get some codes, I will be sharing them here for your convenience :)

I’m not completely satisfied with this photo. And I think I could edit it more and more, and I still would not like it completely. It was just an ugly day. But it’s a great photo to try out and advance my manual blending skills, as the dynamic range was extreme. You just have to think about it, the whole foreground area had no light source at all. Open the full post to see the original exposure.

Rooftops of Prague

Slowly I’m getting the hang of this manual blending and luminance masking. Instead of experimenting, I think I actually know what I’m doing :) This is one of the shots I took last time I was in Prague. I’m already planing another trip there, but it wont be for a few more months.

Blue hour bridge

You know.. this bridge used to be called the New Brige, and now it is again called Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising (SNP bridge for short). I don’t really understand why they changed it. As the bridge right next to it, is called the Old bridge, so it nicely made sense. It actually was changed to New Brige, because everyone called it the New Brige even when it was called the other name before.
