Sunset over Heidelberg
Heidelberg from Castle terrace
by Michael

View On Black

THIS was the best sunset I saw over heidelberg since I'm trying to shoot this scene! Last week I was at the same place and well there was a sunset but the WOW was missing. Yesterday evening my jaw was hanging open for more than one hour and I couldn't stop taking pictures. Here's the last one. It was just awesome, the colors changing and changing and finally I had the perfect harmony between the cities red rooftops and the sky.

You might not see it but it's a panorama from 3 shots, bracketing 3 exp for each to do a dri and get the dynamic range which was needed here. I was very carefull to compose the scene with every important building having it's place in the frame.

Hope this shot does evoke some similar feelings as I had them when seeing this sky :-)

Details: f/11 | 11mm | 3exp bracketing + DRI -> pano from 3 vertical shots (Nodal Ninja 5L used) Processing: enfuse GUI for DRI , Hugin for Pano stitching

cheers

Reflections of Heidelberg
Heidelberg Bridge
by Michael

finally I got my new wide angle lense. Tokina 11-16 . Well have to say it is quite sharp even at the edges. Still have to experiment a bit but I already start to love this lense. Only the cromatic aberation is quite high but in a way you can easily fix in camera raw!

Heidelberg
Heidelberg from Castle terrace
by Michael

The evening before I took the Kraichgau photo I photographed this scene in Heidelberg. Beautiful view as usual. I waited just for the lights to go on to snap the last shot.

In total this photo is combined out of 5 exposures I took while my camera was mounted on the tripod. This was needed to get good detail and even light in the whole scene.

Wanna see how I put those exposures together, then watch my exposure blending timelapse, which I recorded for this shot.

Night sets in over Heidelberg
Heidelberg Bridge
by Michael

Took this photo two days ago right after sundown when the lights on the bridge were just switched on. I waited for an hour doing some other shots because I wanted the reflections of the bridge lamps.

Heidelberg - Autumn Twilight
Heidelberg
by Michael

A beautiful sunset in Heidelberg photographed in October when the weather was still nice ;-)

When I look out of the window now I don't like what I see. Hopefully winter arrives with some snow soon so I have some now subjects to shoot.

For now I'm browsing through some shots I have taken this year and process them. This one was shot using a lee 0.6 soft and hard GND and I also did several exposures.

I blended those to get better detail throughout the image. For those interested here's a video describing the technique I use: landscapephotographymagazine.com/2011/blending-multiple-e...

I know I already posted this but it never hurts to post again ;-)

have a nice evening or day, depending where you're located.

cheers

Heidelberg Evening
Heidelberg
by Michael

A beautiful evening in Heidelberg. Here I captured both sunset and twilight in one photo by using time blending. So I actually took a photo just before the sun dipped behind the hills in the background and then another photos around 40 minutes later with the city and the castle lit up.

Both were combined in photosshop, as you can see in my latest Youtube Tutorial.
