Destination Prague

As usually each spring,  tomorrow I’m leaving for a few days trip to Prague. Prague is so beautiful and gives so many photo opportunities, that I like to return there quite often. So from next week, you can expect again new Prague photos on the blog :)

St Martin’s Church

There is a very nice balcony (I will call it balcony, as I don’t know how to call it :)), right next to this church. It a great place from where to take a photo of the church, it’s just to close to the church. And as the church is quite high, it wont fit into one photo, even if taken at 16mm. So in the end I created a vertorama. And due to how close I was, it created quite a lot of distortions, but due to way it was taken, you can’t really remove it. You would just destroy the photo.

This is manual blend from 10 photos. Taken by the Bullring in Birmingham, UK

I have no idea why I created a compositions like this :) But I was playing around with the 70-200mm lens.. so I tried a vertorama, and I quite liked it, so I finished it :) Looks strange on all the sites, but probably will look nice on Pinterest :)

This is 5×5 vertorama (5 shots all from 5 exposures) blended using PTgui and Photoshop. Final size was 63Mpix.

A big one today (60 Mpix :) ). Those of you who follow me on facebook know that I recently bought a Panoramic head, the Nodal Ninja 4. I also posted few shot of how it looks and how I used it for this photo there. And this is the first result I’m publishing.  This is a 180 degree vertorama, created from 7 photos. At first it should have been a HDR vertorama (I took multiple brackets), but as it was quite windy there, the ghosting was just too much. So instead I created this from single exposures, and I used some of the steps I do in HDR post processing on it.

As Smugmug is not so good for vertical photos (it creates very small versions of them)  I uploaded the big version directly to the blog. When you click on it, you will see a smaller one, which fits a screen :)
