I took this photo two times. One at F2.8 and one at F9. I just wanted to see the difference. And in the end I went with the one at F2.8. It blurred the background a little, which made the bikes stood out a little more. Sometimes really having the whole image sharp makes it just worse.
It took me longer than expected, but finally I have added the third part to my HDR tutorial. This one focuses on different problems that can arise in tone-mapped HDR and how to solve them.
I hope it will be helpful at least for some of you. If you find any errors, or you can understand some part, feel free to comment and I will try to reply.
Just to add to the variability on my blog I edit old photos from time to time. And this is one from my visit to Liverpool in 2010. I’m always a little sad when editing old photos, as I know I could have taken them better. But there are also good memories from the trips so it evens thing out :)
Just one more fireworks shot for now :) I can’t wait until I have again a change to take more fireworks shots. It’s not so hard to get nice ones, just the problem is that most will have a very similar composition, as you can’t really move that much during the few minutes the fireworks happen.
It was cold and windy when I was in Budapest, but at least few photos came out quite nicely. I found this place just walking around the city. It was just behind the West Railway station. It looked like a nice place to relax, but not at that weather :)
A handheld HDR from a single raw at 2000 ISO? Not very usual setting for me. I didn’t even take this so I edit it, just to have a photo that I was there :). But as you can see, it doesn’t look that bat at all. My goal was to use my tripod and do a proper (at least 9 brackets) series. But I was just to slow. The guard noticed me and ask me not to use it. It was strange, as they had no problems with flash photography, which I think is much worse than using a tripod.
