On top of Vienna

This photo was taken from the tower of the Stephens Church in Vienna. The stairs up to the top were quite a challenge, but I think the view was quite worth it :). This photo was taken sometime in August last year, during a very sunny day.

HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, handheld.

and here is a view from one of the other windows of the tower:

Church of St. James

Another image to my growing collection of church interiors in HDR :). Can’t wait until I have more of them, so I can do a nice post about all of them on my blog :).

This one was taken at the Church of St. James (Kostel svatého Jakuba) in the center of Brno. The church is quite bright with a lot of light coming in, so I made the HDR also nice and bright :).

Tree in the wind

There was such a strong wind that day, that I was actually very surprised that the photos aligned so nicely. I was very happy that I almost always have the lens hood on, as I let go of the tripod for a few seconds and it was immediately blown over by the wind. Without the lens hood, the complete front of the lens would be buried in mud :)

This photo was taken in January near the Red Stone (Cerveny Kamen) castle in western Slovakia.

Sun under the Port bridge

This is actually a very usual composition for me :) Having one bridge under another. But this time the sun gives it a special touch. This is the Port Bridge, one of the less accessible bridges in Bratislava, as it’s a highway bridge, going over the cargo port.

This HDR is from 7 shots, as I vent as hight as +4 EV, because the bridge was very dark in every photo I took.

Lovely sunset

You get such a lovely view of the sunset from the bridges over Danube. So I always like to return there and take more photos. In this one, taken from the Apollo Bridge, you can see (from left) the Old Bridge, Bratislava Castle and the Eurovea shopping center. I’m really happy with the reflections, and that the shaking of the bridge had no impact on the shots.
