Photo of the Day – Roman Baths in Bath – Reprocessed

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

In september 2016 we were visiting the southern part of England (UK). I shot a sequence of several bracketed exposure photographs on my tripod, capturing the interior of the roman baths and the cathedral in the background. I initially created a HDR photograph out of five bracketed shots, post-processed with Photomatix and Photoshop. But today, I have reprocessed this picture because taste evolves overtime. The initial post-processed picture’s white-balance was a bit off and that is why I thought it would be good to reprocess this image.

I have sold the previous version a couple of times already on 500px, so I guess the image as such is attractive. I really like the colours of the picture very much. So I hope this may do even better.

The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing and surely deserves a visit.

Photo of the Day – Colourful sky above Eiffel Tower in Paris

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

A couple of days ago, someone asked me if it was still possible to shoot a unique picture of the Eiffel tower. This monument has been photographed a couple of billion times by now, from all angles and distances, so indeed, it is hard to make a unique picture of this magnificent piece of archtitecture.

Nevertheless, although the angle may not be that unique, I still like this image because of the nice colourful sky, combined with the construction.

Paris is absolutely one of my favourite cities. Next time I will try to find a more unique angle.

This image is created by adding a colourful sky behind the tower. The initial image was shot on a flat grey day. Composition is done in Photoshop with colour-adjustment done in lightroom.

The final result is this colourful picture of the eifel tower.

What is your favourite spot, building or landmark for photographing in Paris?

Boats on the river Durme at blue hour

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Long exposures during blue hour was one of the first kind of pictures I used to experiment with when I started photography about 8 years ago. Because I have recently decided to make the Durme river one of my new photography projects, I thought it would be a great idea to go through some of my older pictures and write a blogpost about it to get the project started. Here are the two pictures I have made in 2014, I like the most.

Lokeren is the town, in East-Flanders, Belgium, where I live. The river Durme runs right through the center of the town and people like to dock their boats here in summer.

The long exposure shots took between 10 to 20 seconds depending on the light level of the evening. It also smoothed out the water movement.

Both pictures are single shots processed in Adobe Lightroom to show exactly how I have experienced the view that evening.

There are still plenty of interesting locations of this local river to discover, so I’ll be taking more pictures for this project soon.
