Snow cowered Bratislava

I planed to share with you another fireworks photo today, but then my plans changed. When I woke up today (quite late) it was snowing quite heavily in Bratislava. So I decided to go out and try to get few photos. In the end I spend over 4 hours in the cold, and I’m still shivering from it.

So here is one of the many photos I took today. This is a 3 shot panorama taken from the top of the SNP bridge. Combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

And here are few details:

More New Years Fireworks

I think that nobody is surprised that I’m sharing another fireworks photos. And I will share few more in the coming days. Everybody in Bratislava was very lucky with the weather during the New year. Clear sky with only a bit of wind. Total opposite from the 1st January. It rained and was really windy. We were really lucky.

This photo is actually a composite of 5 photos that were taken in a series. Each one had one nice fireworks explosion, but I did not like any of them particularly. So in the end, I used one photo for the bottom scenery with one of the explosions and three more with the other explosions, blended in. Then I did not like that the photo was too narrow, so I found another photo that was taken a bit wider and I matched a part of the scenery to make the photo wider. It’s hard to see where, so I could maybe left it just black, but I would know, so I had to fix it.

Took a while to put this together. This is actually first time I’m posting a composite photo of fireworks. But I quite like the result so here it is :)

Happy New Year 2019

It’s became a bit of a tradition for me to go out for the New Years fireworks and post a photo of them right afterwards on the blog. And of course I did that again this year :)

I hope you will all have a Happy new year 2019 and you will keep on following me and my photography adventures.

My favorites from 2018

Light deer

I went out today to check out if they have the same light deer at the Eurovea Shopping center in Bratislava this year. And yes, it was there. Though I think, when I compare it to my older photo of it, that it’s missing some light this year. Looked better before. Actually I was surprised just how many people were in the city. The time between Christmas and New Year is usually very calm in the city, as a lot of people are just not here. Not this time obviously.

It’s quite warm in Bratislava this week, so I already fear another foggy New Year. Last year one could barely see the fireworks, and hopefully that will not repeat again.

This is a HDR from 5 exposures created in Oloneo Photoengine, then blended with two of the original exposures in Photoshop.
