What a colorful reflection the Mailbox gives (Mailbox is a shopping center in Birmingham, UK). Usually you don’t get so much different colors in landscape and architectures shots. But as the Mailbox is red, I had a nice blue hour and the surrounding light were yellow and green, I got everything :)
Zoomable Panoramas
Panoramas give you such a unique view but they also loose a lot of what you see, when you just see them in a small resolution. And as my photos are a lot about details, anything above 30Mpix just can be nicely seen in a resolution destined for web. So for those photos, I include a zoomable version, were you can see much more of the photos. I have moved all of them onto one page, which you can find here or through the menu on the right.
Prague
I wanted to do a panorama from the Petrin tower for a longer time, but never got to it. The view is just stunning, as you can see the the whole city. But as always when I was there before, it was completely full of people, I was a little scared if I will be able to use a tripod. But here is where the ugly weather worked in my favor. As the day was quite ugly and only got better around sunrise, the tower was mostly empty and I could shoot as much as I wanted. It shakes a little and having the lens stable at 200mm was not so easy, but a lot of photos worked out. As this is also a big panorama, you can find a zoomable version under Panoramas or directly here. I suggest checking it out :)

What do you take photos of, when you are in Prague, it’s 5:30 in the morning and it’s raining. Of the metro of course :) And due to the very early hour, I had no need to retouch any people from this photo, as they were none. I actually visited three different stations that morning, taking a similar styled photo in each one. So if you see more of them, don’t be surprised :)

Lights reflecting from the Tower bridge
posted in HDR, London, Photography, United Kingdom on by Miroslav with No CommentsSo I’m back from Prague and again my trip was full of bad weather, but also some nice photo opportunities. But until I have some new Prague photos ready for you, here is another one from my earlier UK trip, one taken by the Tower bridge.

Waiting for the lights
posted in Edinburgh, HDR, Photography, United Kingdom on by Miroslav with No CommentsI think I mentioned this with my other Forth rail bridge photo. While I was there I had to wait until really late until they turned on the light. At least the wind stopped after the sunset and the water level fell down, so I could get close to the bridge. Still to pass the time I took some photos and this is one of them.
