New Bridge

I really don’t like where the Aupark tower (the skyscraper in the back) stands. It really is in the way when you want to take a shot of the New bridge from the Bratislava Castle.

Photo categories

I split all photos on this page, on my flickr account and also on my portfolio page based on the state (and here also city) I took the photo in.

So, to see just all photos taken for instance in Bratislava, just scroll down to the end of this page, and under categories select Bratislava.

Liverpool Center

A look at the center of Liverpool as seen from the top of the Liverpool Cathedral. Would love to have a better camera here, as there is so much detail. Cant wait for the 5D mark III to come out, so I can buy it immediately :)

Before & After

It quite interesting to see the comparison of the original photo and the finished HDR. So to see the difference, here is one of my recent shots

(click on it to see it bigger)

I would like to include the steps I did to process it, but I’m not quite sure. I flatten my images when I’m finished with them, and I change the way I edit the photo with every photo. Just that HDR was combined and tonemapped in Photomatix, then few errors corrected in Photoshop (like grey snow) and finally I used OnOne PhotoTools on this one.

Pink Horizon

I took this photo at Cunovo Dam near Bratislava. It was taken at sunset so it gave it this nice pink and blue color.

Red Wheel

Some time ago I uploaded a photo of the water mill in Jelka. This is one of the shots I took inside, the mechanism moving the whole mill. I of course took more shots, which I will add later on :)

HDRshooter.net

Finally I have a normal address for my online portfolio. It’s now www.hdrshooter.net . I really wanted a .com domain, but since somebody has it parked I can’t have it. I really hate when people do this. If you don’t have a page, don’t register a domain.

Of course the old address hdrshooter.smugmug.com still works.

Twitter

Just a reminder :). I post all links to my photos and other interesting stuff (but mostly other photos) also on my twitter account http://twitter.com/hdrshooter
I try to keep my tweets count to a normal (smaller) number, so I don’t spam.

So anyone can follow me, and I try to follow back :)

Little Paradise

The Botanical Garden of the Comenius University in Bratislava is such a nice place for a walk. It is quite close to the city center, but you wouldn’t now it being there :)

I think editing trees in HDR is quite hard. HDR brings out so many details and it whole becomes a one big mess. I had the same problem with this one, so I mixed it with the original shot (0 EV) to bring back the shadows in the trees and separate them from each other. I think I was quite successful :)
