Midday shooting

It’s really not the best time to shoot, when the sun is high up and there are no clouds in the sky. But if that is the only time you are in a particular city, one tries to get the best shot possible.

Same when I was in Regensburg, Germany. I only had around 2-3 hours and it was just around 3-4pm. So really not the best time. Would loved to be there for sunset, but no such luck that time. If I did the same shot today, I would probably try to use the ND400 to blur the water completely and so create a nice reflection. Maybe next time :)

This photo is a manual blend of 6 shots. Edited only in Photoshop. I try to blend the images so, where the darkest parts are still the darkest, and the lightest are still the lightest in the final result. I think it gives the final photo a more natural look.

Passau

Usually when the weather is like this (cloudy, not much color, boring sunset) I wait for blue hour, as the lights of the city add enough color to the photo. But as my ship was leaving right around that time, and I still had to walk back to the city, down a wet hill, with no lights along the path, I decided not to push my luck. So in the end, the view was nice, the colors were a little boring :)

Detailed edit

Today I used a little different post-processing on my photo. As I haven’t used Topaz adjust in a long time and was looking how to add more detail to this photo, I tried it out. And the spicify preset with some tweeking created quite intersting results. For those interested, this was taken in the St. Sebaldus Church in Nuremberg.

Amadolce in Passau

This photo is for Sue, Joan, Ray, Doreen, Peter, Fedelmia, Maurice and all other very nice people I met while traveling on the Amadolce. You all made this a very wonderfull trip. Hope you all doing well and everyone got safely home from the trip :)

This photo is from the stop in Passau. Took some work to add some color in this photo, but not having it just looking saturated. As the day I took this, was really grey, with rain and completely overcast sky, I take it as a real success that the final photo looks how it looks :)
