This shot was taken in a nearby tunnel under Ringgaden in Ã…rhus. I suspect that its kind is a common finding in most lager cities. The highligts are burned due to a long exposure – around 6 seconds, I recall – but this should increases the depth of field.

Here is a photograph I took yesterday on a walk with Tina in out new neighbourhood. It is the entrance at the old cycle ring. Appearantly the ring is still in use even though the entrance seems fit for a rebuild.

The panora below is from a summer trip Mads and I took to London a few years ago. It is stitched from 5 images which were all given the same amount of exposure. I used Photoshop to put the panorama together. My procedure was to first align the lines by eye. Then I fine tuned each picture separately using the “Transform” -> “Perspektive” tool from the menu. Next, I used the dodge and burn tool to make the panorama appear seamless. Finally I cropped the picture and cloned the sky and the concrete in the lower right corner. The sky is not quite perfect, because it is difficult to clone smooth surface. I used Gaussian Blur and added some noise to make it look real.

Jeg har opdaget en fin teknik til at skabe større dynamisk rækkevidde i billeder som er taget i RAW-format. Metoden er at passe på ikke at brænde højlysene ud i optagelsen og så fremkalde to billeder, hvor det ene er overbelyst. Bagefter åbner man begge billeder i Photoshop og bruger MOVE-værktøjet til at trække det mørke billede oven på det lyse. Herefter tilføjer man et Adjustment Layer maler det lyse lag frem under det mørke vha. en Paint Brush. Man kan læse mere om metoden på tips og tricks siden hos Phase One.

Jeg købte et nyt dSLR kamera sidste torsdag. I den forbindelse var jeg på en fotosafari i Århus. På rådhuset, som er tegnet af Arne Jakobsen, fandt jeg dette motiv (klik på billedet for at læse mere om mit nye kamera):
