Not having anything planned, I didn’t carry a tripod with me, so here is how I made it: the singe RAW (.cr2) image opened with UFRaw (the GIMP plugin version) and saved as 3 JPEGs: -1, 0 and +1 exposure. JPEGs imported in Luminance HDR and assembled as not a very obvious HDR, edit levels for more drama and export as one JPEG. Some final tweaks with GIMP and the result is this.

I pondered for a while, the car shows are not what they used to be, every year they are less attractive for the photographer (no, is not just me growing-up as a photographer). Still, the places are roamed my more and more people with powerful cameras.

This bridge is kind of famous, one item appearing in many pictures taken in the IOR park.

Since I am sure at this point I already bored all my readers with the photos from Vienna, I think is the time to put an end of the series with an one last pic. Have fun!

Is summer out there, the sun is hot and bright, we search for protection by wearing sunglasses. This is why I propose today a fun exercise, look at those photos featuring sunglasses I took recently and try to vote which one you like the best. The sunglasses, not the models :D, in fact that’s I find interesting, the people’s ability to disconnect the models (and their cleavages!) from the things they wear.

Lot of reflecting surfaces all around, you have to have a self shoot like this, photographer at work.

Lifting a quote straight from Wikipedia:
"In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is the first and last hour of sunlight during the day, when a specific photographic effect is achieved with the quality of the light."
As I stumbled around the city center around the golden hour a couple of days ago, I just had to take a few shots in that magic light:

I always hated the megalomaniacal constructions in the center of the city at Piața Unirii, I think they are an ugly remaining of the dreaded communist era and are making Bucharest uglier.
But passing there is a torrid summer day the large number of fountains in the middle of the crammed traffic is somewhat refreshing.
And I find even more refreshing the life around those fountains, both beasts and people are enjoying the water.
I think the dog puts in perspective the "dog day" expression and also I envy his his freedom.

It may be completely unoriginal to play with reflections like this, but I couldn’t stop doing so:
