I used telephoto lens here in order to compress the scene a little. Quite a long time was needed to smooth out the water and then also focus stacking, as I wanted both the small tree and waterfall in focus, which would be hard to achieve with the telephoto lens.

místo pro relikviář svatého Maura
Bečov nad Teplou - Vyhlídka
by Ivan Anderle

zámek Bečov nad Teplou by nebyl nijak výjimečný, kdyby se tam nenašel relikviář svatého Maura. Celá historie je hodna filmového zpracování stylem Indiana Jonese. Vše začíná v městě Florannes v Belgii. Pro relikvie svatého Jana Křtitele, které vlastnil tamní benediktinský klášter, nechal mecenáš z rodu Rumigny vyrobit relikviář. Ten v roce 1838 kupuje za 2500 franků Alfred de Beaufort, nechává relikviář opravit a vystavuje ho v Bruselu. Následně relikviář převáží na svůj zámek Bečov nad Teplou. Po druhé světové válce rod Beaufortů pro kolaboraci s nacisty mizí z ČR a tím se ztrácí i stopa relikviáře. Teprve v roce 1984 se jistý americký občan Danny Douglas, na zastupitelském úřadu ve Vídni dotazuje, na možnost hledání jisté historické památky na území Československa. Nabízí 250 000 dolarů, za jakýsi kovový předmět, který si sám najde a vykope. Rozbíhá se na tehdejší dobu docela dobrodružná akce, v které jde o čas a různé politické tlaky. Komunisté se jako ke všemu, co souviselo s církví, chovali přezíravě a tak smlouva s Douglasem byla na spadnutí. O to víc je třeba ocenit úžasnou práci kriminalistů, kteří nevěděli kde mají hledat a ani co mají hledat. Vše ale nakonec úspěšně končí rozebráním podlahy, v hradní kapli, v Bečově nad Teplou. Tam je v zásypu, půl metru pod zemí, relikviář v poslední chvíli nalezen. Po náročné renovaci a velkolepém vystavení na Pražském hradě je tato naše druhá nejcennější památka vrácena zpět do Bečova nad Teplou...

Výhled z Bílé Skály
by Jiri Hajek

Při inverzi do výšky cca 900m jsou z Bílé skály krásné výhledy na Černou Studnici a Ještěd. V tomto případě jsem se zaměřil na detail Černé Studnice chvíli po západu slunce. 2 minutová expozice pomohla zjemnit mraky a dát dojem mořských vln.
