Durnstein is a lovely small city in Austria. Perfect for a day trip. They have a lovely church, a castle ruin and some great views. And one more thing that really counts for me, they allow the use of tripods in the church (I asked :) ). The day I was in the church the weather was quiet ugly, and I was there quite early in the morning, so for around 15 minutes I had the whole church just for myself :)
I took 7 shots here, but used only 3 for a manual blend.
Such a colorful scene and such a bad weather. Even with all that color, it loos a little grey. I know that I could push few slider and make the whole photo more saturated, but I also know that it will no longer feel the same way as the scene I want to recreate. And that’s why it is how it is :)
I can’t even imagine how would this look during a nice sunset… really a place I have to revisit. Even during such a cloudy day, and even when it was raining, the view was stunning.
I was thinking of adding more contrast and color to this photo, but then decided against it. Like it is, it gives me the same feeling as what I have seen that day. A cloudy, rainy day is not defined by saturated colors :)
One of the places I will definitively need to revisit. Just luck that Durnstein in Austria is not so far away from Bratislava. As you can see from this and other photos I already posted from there, during my last visit, the weather was not the best. Actually when I took this, it was already raining. Luckily the canon 24-70 lens has a huge lens hood, which is great for such situations :)
I spend the last 3 hours editing photos. And I hate everything I created, I just deleted everything. Just one of those days. Even my computer refuses to work properly, everything is so slow. Probably everyone has days like this sometime.
So here is a photo I edited few days ago, taking on a really cloudy morning in the lovely city of Durnstein. It actually started raining few minutes after I took this.
