The Castle

So this picture needed to come up now since Kim is leaving soon. He had a small get together to get some last minute English speakers in before Ensynch sends our Director of PMO and his family off to DHL Prague for the summer. Lucky bastard gets to get out of the heat all summer and go to one of the most gorgeous cities in the world where the streets are the epitome of Eastern Europe and the beer is cheaper than water; and oh so much sweeter.

So this is one of the unique shots I was able to get on this trip compared to last time. Buns took us on the tram instead of the metro to get to the castle and you end up coming up this side instead. A gorgeous side view from which I was able to create this HDR shot. Still learning the program and how things are done, but baby steps are key ;). Enjoy this as I work on the next one.

As Promised

I finally got the pics from James and got everything sorted and uploaded to Picasa Web Albums.
I will be slowly releasing more HDR photos and just general edited photos over the coming weeks. I love playing with the pics I take so stay tuned. I have been learning about some new tools that I can use to do some cool things from Drew and I intend to continue playing with them. For now, I have to get to Photoshop to finish somethings for work. Please let me know what you think of the pics.

I'm Back

I know it's been a bit since I last posted and a lot of people are asking me about pictures. I know, I know, everyone wants to see the whole trip. The delay has been because I did not have the pictures as I was continuously dumping all of my pics onto James' laptop so I didn't have to keep deleting things as I go and not be able to keep the videos I took. I do have the snaps now and I am sorting through them so that you each of you can enjoy all of them and see what you missed out on while each of you was stuck being working stiffs ;). It's okay, anyone who wants to can rub it in for pretty much the rest of the year as I've pretty much spent all my vacation days and what's left has to be rationed in case I get sick.

And I know that I owe you all the rest of the story, but that will come with the pictures and the captions and such. To satisfy everyone for the time being, here is the first of, what I hope will be, many HDR Photos. I took a few series of these and am trying to learn how to make them as awesome, or close to as awesome, as the ones that you see online.

Enjoy!
