Angry clouds above Prague

Image by Miroslav Petrasko (blog.hdrshooter.net)
Sometimes you just hope for an interesting sky, and sometime you get it. This was a complete surprise. Few moments before this clouds appeared, the sky was almost completely clear. I took this from the top of the Old town hall tower in Prague. I also wanted to zoom in more on the castle, but as I currently don’t have a telephoto lens for my 5D, I stuck with wide angle shots. Btw. the clousds are not HDR, there are completly from one of the exposures :)

Returning to old places

Image by Miroslav Petrasko (blog.hdrshooter.net)
I took a very similar photo about two years ago. But with the new camera I like to go back to my favorite places and try to take even better photos. And this is one of my favorite places for blue hour photos.

It’s not that close, as you have to walk across the bridge from the other side, continue a little further and then return back. And standing on the rocks near the water it’s also quite dangerous and cold. But I think it’s worth it.

The sunset was quite colorless, as the sky was very clear. So I knew I had to wait for the blue hour, to take a nice shot. I used 7 brackets here, trying to capture the Bratislava castle without it being blown out.

I used this photo as an example in my HDR tutorial, so if anyone's interested, check it out :)

From my hotel room in Madrid

I actually wrote to the hotel before I arrived, asking them for a room with a nice view of the street. And this is what I got. You can say I was satisfied :)

Bendemeer Estates in New Zealand

Image by Stuck in Customs
This is the final place we ended up on the final night of the New Zealand Photo Adventure. Thanks again everyone that came! We’ll get a group photo up very soon so everyone can see. We took it in the woolshed at the bottom of this hill… it was really a remarkable place. I should have gotten a little video of these red-gold grasses blowing in the breeze. I think Curtis Simmons got that… I’ll ask him to put it in the comments! :)

Arriving Home in Vegas

Image by Stuck in Customs
Vegas is filled with all these cool secret spots. I suppose this one isn't all that secret, but I had never heard of it! This is the entrance to the Skylofts At MGM Grand Las Vegas. And this is just the elevator bank! I got a nice little private tour of some of the suites and they were quite amazing. I have those pics sitting in waiting, still unpublished. At first, I was thinking these were the kinds of places that were saved for the uber-elite whales of Vegas, but the prices aren't that different than a nice Four Seasons.

I've been working on editing a new video of how I took an HDR photo in Yellowstone. I'll give a first look to everyone that is on the Newsletter list. We'll try to get that thing out this weekend or so! Now, I can tell you that as I edit this thing... it's very shaky! What can I say... I just used one of those little Flip Video jobs. So, obviously, I'm trying to undersell the thing.... but maybe y'all can get some good information about how I took one of the Yellowstone shots.
