Bridge
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
I got lucky for this photograph. First, there were low clouds flying around Dubai skyscrapers, which is far from a common thing in Dubai. And then a ship entered into my long exposure and lit the bridge from below. Really enjoyed this place!
Notre Dame de Paris (in English: Our Lady of Paris), also known as Notre Dame Cathedral, is a Gothic, Roman Catholic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France. It is the cathedral of the Catholic archdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the "cathedra", or official chair, of the Archbishop of Paris, André Cardinal Vingt-Trois. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in France and in Europe. It was restored and saved from destruction by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. The name Notre Dame means "Our Lady" in French, and is frequently used in the names of Catholic church buildings in Francophone countries.
I'd pretty much given up there being any kind of sunset here today as it was very overcast and raining on/off, just driving about I ended up near to here and decided to shoot the pier on Derwentwater, as I got there over the wall there were already 2 photographers there waiting for a break in the weather so with 3 being more than a crowd I decided scrap that idea and come up here instead hoping there wasn't anyone else about, and just chance waiting it out for just a bit of decent evening light.
Amazingly there wasn't another soul about here, which is pretty rare, and after setting up and waiting for a while I even got a decent break in the weather as well, it usually doesn't work out like that but if you don't try you don't get.... about 10 minutes after this image a huge storm blew over with torrential rain, which I took great pleasure in watching from the comfort of the car :-)
The famous Tower Bridge in London during the blue hour.
Dos mil años nos separan de ese puente romano, mas de 1000 de la Mezquita del fondo, y 500 de la Catedral que se aloja en su interior, en esta toma se junta el arte Romano, el arte Musulmán y el arte Cristiano, todo en una sola toma de Córdoba.
'L' for the best view in LARGE
Another clear and relatively cool (25 C) evening in Dubai, it is such a treat to go out shooting these days! I already had two shots from that vantage point, but never had a blue hour one.
A little break in my latest B&W series, this one really deserved to be shown in glorious colors! :)

Foggy morning on Charles Bridge
After an overcast day, late afternoon sky started to clear on the west, which resulted in a phenomenal sunset.
There isn't snow in Prague that often, but when there is, it's a great opportunity to visit and photograph the historic center.

What is your favorite skyline that you like to shoot? For todays post I went few months back in my archives and decided to post this NYC skyline shot from the Brooklyn side. It was very cold but very beautiful evening that day. I must say that I wasn't feeling very comfortable shooting but I did it anyway! What do you think?
Just payed Prague another visit. This time I had hoped for some snow. Well it was cold enough but no snow. Still I got some nice photos. Here again Charles Bridge in the morning, the only time you get this shot without people :-)
This is just one exposure of 50 seconds. No stacking or exposure blending needed. The light was very even during blue hour this morning.
cheers

El puente romano de Córdoba está situado sobre el río Guadalquivir a su paso por Córdoba, y une el barrio del Campo de la Verdad con el Barrio de la Catedral. También conocido como "el Puente Viejo" fue el único puente con que contó la ciudad durante 20 siglos, hasta la construcción del puente de San Rafael, a mediados del siglo XX. El 9 de enero de 2008 se inauguró la mayor y discutida remodelación que el puente Romano ha tenido en su historia.
Construido a principios del siglo I d.C., durante la época de dominación romana en Córdoba, sobre el río Guadalquivir (probablemente sustituyendo a uno más primitivo de madera), tiene una longitud de unos 331 metros y está compuesto por 16 arcos, aunque originalmente tuvo 17. Fue uno de los más importantes medios de entrada a la ciudad desde la zona sur de la península Ibérica por ser el único punto para cruzar el río sin utilizar ningún tipo de embarcación. Probablemente la Vía Augusta que iba desde Roma hasta Cádiz pasaba por él.
Desde 1931, el puente, conjuntamente con la puerta del puente y la torre de la Calahorra está declarado Bien de interés cultural en la categoría de monumento. Forma parte del centro histórico de Córdoba que fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1994.

My wife and I lived in the Bay Area for about 6 months immediately after our marriage before finally settling in SoCal. During the six months stay we never ventured or explored any of San Francisco’s beautiful sights. We did Trips to wine country, San Diego, and Yosemite but no trips were made to explore the city where we lived.
We always thought we will be living in the bay area so there was no real urgency in the plans, but we got jobs in LA. So last Thursday was my birthday and we decided to head to San Francisco and give the new D850 some workout. This view is of the San Francisco skyline as seen from the Treasure Island view point. The wind was pummeling us during the shoot and I had to hold down my gitzo traveler lightweight tripod to get a steady shot.
Here's the typical photo of the Vatican one has to take when visiting Rome :-) I didn't get a colorful sunset that evening, but the blue hour as usual didn't dissapoint and once all the city lights went on it looked quite magical.
Also, if you have a few minutes and are interested in post processing, my newest youtube tutorial about advanced masking and selections in photoshop might be of interest for you.
Probably the best known view of Cologne, with the Cathedral and the Hohenzollern railway bridge. A classic, but I wanted to have my own version of this photo as well.
Finally get my self around to finish editing this shot. Between the initial shot and the final edit it took me around 5 months. I went to this location 6 times while trying to figure out what to do with it. Shooting at nigh wasn't an option cause there is just to many light sources all around coming from many directions. I wasn't fortunate enough to catch the rainy day also. Since there is so many cars parked in the street I had to do something different to be able to hide them and make everything seamless in the final edit. While shooting in the city, I like to do that with this long exposure technique and use the car trails as leading lines as much as the cover for the distracting area. What do you think?

A very popular view over Prague from Hanavsky Pavillion. I had to squeeze in a small spot between a number of photographers who were obviously there as part of a workshop.

Ghent is such an awesome city, I even prefer it to Bruges. Many tourists go to Bruges, and leave Ghent to their side, such a mistake. If you want to visit Belgium, don't forget Ghent.

Celý den všude pršelo, ale předpovědi slibovaly na západ ČR k večeru vyjasnění, tak jsme vyrazili na pár cílů, s plánem na večerní Loket. Vyšlo to dokonale, slunce začalo prosvěcovat mraky pár minut před západem a pak už se jen postupně měnilo světlo.
Tahle vyhlídka na Loket se mi moc líbí, i když teda nezavrhuju ani ostatní, každá má něco do sebe. Každopádně podzimní barvy stromů tomu sluší!
Was out on Sunday witha group of friends for a day of photography. Started off in the Hermitage in Perthshire
