Hidden Canoe

Another one from Sundays shooting at the Vajnory Lake. The lake was very calm, and I really liked the reflection of the canoe, but couldn’t really get closer to it from where I was standing. Still I quite like this composition, and I thought of the name immediately after I took this shot :)

I’m very happy how this shot turned out, as I was focusing quite blindly. It was already dark, and I saw almost nothing from the Canoe in the viewfinder. I opened the camera to f3.5 and pushed the ISO up to 200 (which I hate to do) and it worked :)

Sunset over Vajnory lake

I’m still not really happy with this one, I think the colors could still be better. But I tried all the techniques, I usually use, and I didn’t like any of the results. Maybe when I learn something new, I revisit this shot :)

Wooden Church

What would I do without a wide-angle lens :). It’s absolutely great to be able to stand close to a building and still get it into the shot. This is one of the wooden churches in the open air museum in Bardejovske Kupele.

Crossing the water

This was one of those winter days, too warm for winter, too cold for spring :). But since it was nice and sunny for few hours, I took a little walk to the Zelezna Studnicka area near Bratislava.

One sunny day

After all the night and sunset shots of the Bratislava Castle, how about a nice one from a sunny day :). I wasn’t even planing to take any photos that day, but there were such great clouds over the city, that I had to take few photos.
