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.

Trip to Venice...

As I live only 110 miles away from Venice any trip there means only a day of preparation and night without sleep. As I haven't been there for quite a long time my next trip there is only a matter of time measured in weeks.

Last time I went there for shooting city not carnival was in late July 2011. I started at 1 am and arrived on Piazale Roma at 3:30 am. The city looks very hostile at night, many streets are very dark with almost no street lights.

And than I arrived to Canal Grande very close to main bridge Rialto. 

I headed straight to Piazza san Marco.

I heard that there are no people around at 4 am in Venice... well that is true... no people, only photographers. I must admit that I rarely see so many photographers with tripods....

... more about Venice will be soon on blog.

What about books...

Actually I read only one book on HDR topics and it was very good. It covered all the topics that photographer needs to get started in HDR.

The book is Trey Ratcliffs  A World in HDR available for $30 at Amazon.

This book is definitly worth of the money. Author takes us through entire process of making great HDR photos! So for anybody who is getting started and wants to upgrade knowledge about HDR, I recommend this book.
