Move in few seconds of time

After making the two shots from previous posts i rushed to nearby location near church Saint Jerome which is about two minutes of driving away and still caught sun on late evening sky.

The wind made some nice effects on closest trees.  After making this shot the sun went behind clouds and most of dramatic light disappeared.

Switch the lense

If we wanto so change a shot we dont ned to mage a great change...

OK the shot in previous post was made with 14-24mm lens, but I hat do try something else so I switched to 50mm prime and repeat the shot. This is the result.

So you see, you don't need to do much to make another different image. Longer lens puts more stress on valley and hills in middle ground and less on sky background.

I havent stopped writting!

OK so I was a little bit down after a failed experience in shooting Venice in beginning of July but I am back.

This was really bad experience which showed me, that booking a Hotel and sleeping on site is the cheapest way to do shootings at dawn. Of course I am still waiting for bill for speeding on my way to Venice.

I was in so bad mood that I had to make some more shots on location nearby later in the afternoon that day. These shots made me feel a lot better.

Again at alpine lake in northern Italy

Another shot from Predil lake, hour was still very early, but few steps in each direction opened new magnificent views of little lake!

Final results were worth of night without sleep, but there was still few hours of driving home, which were not the prettiest, as I was very tired. But at the end the final result counts.

The trip

Sometimes the trip is the purpose.

Yesterday as weather was horrible I took the trip to a mountain plateau just to discover new spots worth of taking photos. 

I drove for about 4 hours and made a 100 miles lap, I wasn't very fast driver though. 

All the time there was a hard rain so I could not leave the car, but I spotted some great spots to photograph and I ll repeat the trip few times till the end of May, because those places were so beautiful you cant imagine. 

So scouting for places is also a part of photography, especially if you don't want to hang on some place waiting for golden hour or coming to a place too late.

Miracles of underworld

This time I choose omages from cave sistem in Rakov Škocjan, where river Rak flows partly outside and it vaneshes in cave sistems of Slovenian Carst.

The Rak natural preserve is a great place for shooting stunning shots.

The place has direct sunlight only at mid day, so it is almost always great location for creating, but you can imagine dinamic range variation between open shadow and in cave area, so HDR is perfect for great shots.

Almost no light...

In some extreme conditions when we are in very low light, we might have only option one shot HDR. If the correct exposure goes over 10 sec there won't be option to bracket +-2EV. We work on lowest ISO for lowest noise and record a RAW file.

I had such case when I was shooting entrance to Planinska cave. Only dim light came from entrance behind the corner. I took one 30sec exposure at ISO200 with Nikon D700 camera and in Lightroom I made 3 exposures. There was so dark in cave that I didn't see anything with my eyes and I had great troubles with focus.

This is the cave shot that came out.
