The Storm Is Coming

Whenever I see mountains I instantly feel huge respect and also peace. This is a shot from Austrian Alps.

Silver Atomium

Lately I’ve been trying some new post-processing techniques (at least new for me). Today I have a photo from Brussels which I converted into black and white. I am fairly new to black and white photos but I enjoy playing with it:).

The Boat Race

Today I have another photo of one of my favourite places in Prague.

Silver Prague

Recently I posted a similar photo of the Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. I felt like trying the similar composition in black and white. I played with it a bit and I quite like what I came up with. This is black and white HDR picture. How did I create it? Very simple. After all the blending and usual HDR stuff I converted it to black and white. I think this adds details to some areas which otherwise would be lost. Anyway, technique does not matter that much, it is important for me that I like the result:).

City Life

When you need to get somewhere fast, you can rely on the public transportation here in Prague. This tram gets you to Prague Castle (besides many other places).

The Dancing House

This interesting building in Prague is often a subject of many photographers. Today, it is my subject:). As with all of my images, feel free to click on the photo and download the full resolution version from SmugMug, just click on the small arrow in the lower right corner. And if you like it, don’t forget to tell your family and friends about it;-).

Grey Prague

I’m so busy with non-photography stuff lately that I’m almost unable to take any new photos. This picture is a bit older but I processed it recently. Usually I don’t do black-and-white but this one felt like B&W:).

Bruges before Christmas

This is one of my older images. I took this few days before Christmas last year when I was visiting my friend in Belgium.

Pendulum

When I get bored with my usual post-processing I like trying something new. Few days ago I felt like black-and-white. I browsed through my unprocessed images and I found this picture of pendulum which is here in Prague at Letenske sady. After I was done with the B&W conversion I wasn’t quite sure that it’s all. So I did a little experiment with different kinds of blurs and I finally decided to go for this crazy look. Sometimes I get dizzy when I look at this but that’s exactly what I like about it:).

Cambridge River

This university town is really nice. All the old buildings, neatly cut lawns, the river and the atmosphere…words are not enough, here’s the picture of the river:).
