Sunset in Passo Gardena

Passo Gardena is one of many high mountain passes in Dolomites. This photo was captured shortly before the sunset when the light was very nice.

Hvitserkur

This crazy stone in the middle of the sea is a must-see place when you travel around Iceland.

Windmills

A visit in Netherlands cannot be without the windmills, so here they are:).

Bratislava Castle

View from the bank of the river in Bratislava is quite photogenic and I took advantage of it while I was there.

Sunrise from Letna

It is always much harder for me to get up early in the morning to capture the sunrise. I managed that today and I went to one of my favourite spots in Prague, the famous view from Letna.

Sunset in Radíč

Located near the small village called Radíč, we’ve found this view and enjoyed the sunset.

Sunset near Schmilka

Saxon Switzerland is a beautiful place. Me and my girlfriend were lucky to spend one evening there and watch sunset near the small village called Schmilka.

Bratislava Castle

This is one of the most famous views of the castle in Bratislava. I was there on a business trip last week and I managed to go out to capture this view. I was lucky to have some clouds on that evening because all the other days were clear and there were no interesting clouds. I was also surprised by the colour of the water which was quite green, as you can see. This is a two minute exposure to blur the sky and water a bit.

Where is the boat?

Few weeks ago I did a little experiment with long exposure photography. I tested some ND filters and the holder system. Filters were fine but the holder wasn’t. I sent it back to the e-shop and exchanged it for the holder system from Hitech. I tested it again and this time I’m happy with it:). This is one of the shots I managed to create with it. I’ll create a short review of these filters in the near future.

Feathers in the Sky

I’ve admired long exposure pictures ever since I’ve seen the first one:). I did not have the right tools up until now to try it so I was stuck with the maximum of thirty seconds. I finally got some ND filters and went out to try it out. My goal was just to test the equipment and figure out the right technique. I visited two of my favourite places here in Prague and I failed so many times I should’t even write about it:). Nevertheless, I also managed to get some decent shots, this one is the winner of the day.

In case you were interested (not that it matters), I shot this with a 4-stop ND-filter and for the sky I used 2-stop soft graduated filter. The exposure time for this one was six minutes. And by the way, this time the HDR part was in camera, not in post-processing;).
