Posing Swan You wouldn't believe that this was taken with a wide angle lens, from a tripod :). I was standing so close, but the swan didn't moved at all for a minute, and when I took the shot it went into the water. It really looked, like it was just posing for the shot :) I went a little stronger on the HDR processing than usually, but as I was editing the photo I saw a certain painterly look to it, so I went with it. HDR from a single RAW (few parts from a second) taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, from a tripod.
New and old This photo is from the center of Bratislava. This is a part, which was demolished during socialism, to make way for the road and the bridge. It's quite sad actually, as a lot of beautiful old houses and a synagogue was standing here. HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 450D with Sigma 10-20mm lens, from a tripod.
Beetle at Gasometer I think this shot could have been better. I still see few problems with it. First of all the composition could be better, and secondly there are still some overexposed areas in the shot. But there is a simple explanation for both problem. There were small complications while taking this shot, the passing cars :). This street was not as wide and not as empty as I would like. So every-time I tried to take the shot, I had to quickly move away, so there is no accident. But I think even if it's not 100% as I would like, that it's a nice enough image to be shared :) Photo taken at Gasometer city in Vienna, Austria, during a sunset.
