Flieger!

A HDR-Processed photo from the inside of the restaurant "Flieger & Flieger" in Laxenburg (Lower Austria). The photo was not taken by a friend of me on my 30th birthday (so it's already from February). I did the HDR Processing and some PS (curves, levels, surface blurring, ..)

Dragonfly

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:02 +0200

Last week I've been a lot into the vineyards around Baden. On a grassland I discovered a dragonfly flying around.
I sat down and waited till it stayed on a branch.
I took my Sigma 70-300 at 300mm, f14, 1/250 (manual mode) and my flash (off shoe) and took a few shots (took me about 1 hour).
Sadly the Sigma is a very poor lens - not very accurate, sharp and has a lot of CA.
Did some sharpening & blurring in Photoshop.

"Murphy" our Cocker Spaniel. I just wanted to try out one of my new black backdrops.
Shot with flash off camera and an shoot-through umbrella to the right. Two shots combined in Photoshop.

Shibuya at night!
Very busy Shibuya is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area.
The Shibuya train station with an average of 2.4 million passengers per day is one of the busiest stations in Tokyo.
