So my facebook page is slowly approaching 4000 fans. If you want to help me get there sooner, head over to www.facebook.com/hdrshooter and become a fan :)

Passing red buses

In reality it’s only one bus, but used from multiple exposures :). I actually used exposures from two series here, one because I wanted the bus in the shot and a second series so I had no people in the shot. And it worked out nicely.

This shot is a manual blend from 6 exposures. Taken on the Tower bridge in London.

The Birmingham Reflection

Having a river, lake or a canal in a city gives so many great opportunities for nice composition, all of them including reflections. And as Birmingham is the city with most water canals, it’s great for photos like this one :)

This is a manual blend from 5 shots, taken opposite the Malt House in Birmingham, UK.

Behind the camera photos

I tend to post a lot of behind the camera shots, work in progres screenshots and similar stuff on my Fabebook page (www.facebook.com/hdrshooter). So if you would like also to see more from behind the camera, feel free to become a fan :)

The Forth Rail bridge

Once I seen that this bridge is close to Edinburg, I had to visit it. If you look through my photos, you will notice a lot of them include bridges. They really are my favorite photo subject. And this is one very beautiful bridge.

I spend few hours by the bridge, just taking photos, and waiting until they turn on the lights, so I could get some nice blue hour shots. Unluckily for me, they turned them on around a hour later than they should. I presume it was because of the time change (switching to daylight savings time), which happened the day before. But still I got some nice shots :)

Radian

One of the areas of photography that I’m very interested in is also time-lapse video. And when I seen the Radian from Alpine Labs on Kickstarter, I knew I had to get it. And today is the day that the package arrived. After months of waiting, I will be now experimenting with creating my own time-lapse video. So if you see one in the future, don’t be surprised :)

The London Eye

Of course while in London I had to stop by the London Eye for few shots. I heard a lot of times, that police stops photographers who use tripods in this area, as that is supposedly not allowed. But in the three days I was in London, I passed by the eye often (my hotel was very close) and never even seen a policeman in that area. So maybe I just had luck :)

This photo is a manual blend from 5 shots.

Tunnel reflection in Birmingham

I wanted to take a photo like this for a longer time, but haven’t been to a place that would be fitting. But the canals in Birmingham had a lot of places with bridges crossing the canal, so it was great for it. I actually wanted to take the shot by a second bridge (close to Hyatt hotel) but due to the walkway being very narrow and constant foot traffic in the area, I just could not setup my tripod there. But the next day and a little further away I succeed :)
