Lights in the river

I got the Nisi filter holder for the Laowa 12mm f2.8 lens today, and I though I would write about that for this blog post. But I went out to take some photos with it, and I just did not felt inspired. So I will leave that for tomorrow, and for today, a shot of the Bratislava city center, taken from the Apollo bridge.

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

What’s available?

When you head over to my Shop page over at my Smugmug Portfolio, chose a photo and click buy, you will see what’s available. There are three categories:

• Paper prints – here you can find standard prints, e.g. you would like a poster of one of my photos and similar
• Wall art – here you will find the more fancy prints, like canvas prints, metal, wood and similar
• Download – here you can buy a personal or commercial licence of a photo

Licences

The two licences available, the personal and commercial are meant for different purposes.

The personal is just for your personal use. For instance, you are creating a photo book and want a nice cover, you want a nice photo fro your personal blog and you don’t want to have watermarks on it, you want to print out something that I don’t offer and similar. The photo comes as full resolution, 100% quality JPG image every time (other versions available on request).

The commercial license is for companies that want to use a photo on their website, promotional material, magazines, books and similar. There are multiple versions available (1Mpix, 4Mpix and full resolution), with different prices based on the size.

You can see the full licence agreement when you choose a download.

And here are few mock-ups, how it could look in your home :)

A spring moment under the Eiffel tower

I hope you all have a great weekend. I spending mine doing an early spring clean up of my flat :) And while I was doing that, I though I would also share a spring photo with you. So here is one, from early Spring in Paris. The weather was horrible that day, but about for one hour, it got so beautiful, with nice blue sky and golden sunlight everywhere. So of course I was not the only one there. And while I usually don’t like people in my photos, I liked this scene as a whole, so I decided to include them.

This is a two shot vertorama, combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

Traunsee reflection – plotagraph

No new photo today, but a new plotagraph. This one is from the Traunsee in Austria, from a photo I shared about a week ago. If you want to see all the plotagraphs on the blog, just head over to the Plotagraph category. As always, you can find a drop-down menu with all the categories at the bottom of every page.

You can check out my Plotagraph Pro review here, and a guide how to create them here.

(if you use an older web browser, you may only see a static image, if you are on a mobile, please hit the play button to see the Plotagraph in motion)

Panorama across the bridge

It’s not that easy to take night photo on the SNP bridge. Actually it’s not easy from any busy bridge. The passing cars create quite a lot of shaking and vibrations. So one need a bit of luck or patience, to wait for a moment where there are fewer cars. Not always happens :)

For this shot, I wanted the top and bottom to frame the castle. I partially succeeded. I did not have a panoramic head with me, so I could not use a wider lens to do this panorama. Still, I really like how the walkway pulls your view across the image from left to right, so making you look across the whole photos.

This is a two shot panorama, with a third shot used to darken the light of the walkway a bit. Combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.
