    A quick view from the balcony into the sunset

    I took my 19mm Sigma for a ride and created the HDR. I especially enjoyed the orange and turquoise hues in the reflections.

  • HDR and back light – wallpaper “Gloriette”

    HDR and back light – wallpaper “Gloriette”

    One great situation to use the HDR technique is when having backlight. In this picture here I used 5 brackets +/- 1EV. I could have used seven or nine brackets, but then the effect would have been gone. I threw in a polarizing filter and my trusted Sigma 10-20mm to catch the magic beauty. I…

  • Wallpaper: “Sunset on Vienna”

    Wallpaper: “Sunset on Vienna”

    Facebook is a bitch. I am one of those people who randomly post their pictures on facebook. And I am one of these people who want their pictures to be seen – I consider them art and not instances of reality. So if somebody asks for a wallpaper I cannot say no. This might explain…

    A quick thought on tools

    Sometimes the way things look, sound or feel are created by the tools used in the process of creation. I think that most of the people would think on analog tools like the ones a blacksmith uses.

  • Small break in the blue hour

    I took my panosaurus 2.0 for a first ride after the initial setup and tests. I took the opportunity and decided to shoot a small panorama in the blue hour.

  • Build your own view

    Build your own view, a photo by stst31415 on Flickr. What I like in modern architecture is the fact that you have gazillions of reflections. If you look at the pictures you sometimes start building your own views. By using the HDR method one can reveal lots of details in the reflection. It were so…

  • Different shades of green

    Different shades of green, a photo by stst31415 on Flickr. This is another picture made with HDR Efex and Magic Lantern. The shots were older but HDR technique helped her to bring out the different greens.
