Expectation vs. reality
Just how I see things…
Remains of Roman Baths in Mamer
In Mamer, Luxembourg, close to the European School, there are some remains of Roman baths. I had lunch there and wanted to shoot it. Later on I decided to apply different types of panorama; here’s the result:
And my favorite, the stereographic down panorama, making panoramas look like a planet:
And thanks to Frederic, who kept me company while I was shooting 630 photos (126 photos with 5 different exposures each).
The challenge of crossing the street
I just made an hyperlapse video from when I was in Vietnam in 2013 and had to cross the street.
Rocher du Bock panorama
I shot this above the Bock casemates
Dogwood52: week 9: Artistic: Shadow
The opposite of light is dark, the absence of light is shadow. Interpret this into a masterpiece.
Other candidates:
I have to admit that I wasn’t too inspired. In fact, it was difficult to find shadow outside because of the lack of sunlight.
Dogwood52: week 8: Landscape: Wide Angle/Panorama
So, here I am again with the weekly challenge. This time it is about a great opportunity to explore panorama stitching and create a wide sweeping landscape.
I first tried from the balcony of my office room, played with Photoshop Photo Merge, and decided to use Lightroom to create the panorama – it seems to handle raw files better when it comes to vignetting. Then I started putting a lot of energy and time into this project and asked myself many questions, including about the ratio to use and found out that 3×1 is a good bet because we can find frames using this ratio. All camera settings are manual, including focus and bracketing was enabled to catch different exposures. But you have been warned, the pictures are great (in size) – please download them if you like 😉
And here are some pictures captured while training for the shootings:
The panorama has just started; I will definitely make more, thinking of an album of Luxembourg panoramas.
Dogwood52: week 7: Portrait: Faceless
Tell someone’s story without showing their face.
I did find it extremely hard to be inspired, to capture an interesting context. I didn’t put too much effort into this and mainly worked on the future challenges instead; but here’s the result:
Respectively named:
- Kids playing, normal stuff,
- Feet portrait,
- Texting, and
- Couch potato.
But be prepared for something more amazing for week 8 😉
Dogwood52: week 6: Artistic: Candy
Your artistic interpretation this week should be inspired by something sweet. A great chance to play with macro photography.
But after strugging for week 7 challenge, I just realized I forgot to post this one! So there it is…
I had a lot of fun with candies; making close-ups, bokeh, macro and creating a scene:
And of course, the other pictures taken for the challenge:
And we got a house full of candies after the shooting session 😉
