Oslo II

The front facade of the Royal Palace (Slottet) in Oslo, Norway. In the foreground you can see a statue of Charles XIV John of Sweden (Charles III John of Norway). A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix, Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

Moscow II

Saint Basil's Cathedral, a Russian orthodox cathedral. During the Soviet era, the cathedral was confiscated and made into a division of the state historical museum. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix, Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

Trakai VI

Late evening, looking out across a frozen lake in Trakai, Lithuania. The mist was gradually rolling in and this was the sight that greeted me as dusk was occurring. Three auto-bracketed exposures captured using a Canon EOS 500D equipped with the kit Canon EF-S 18-55 mm lens. Exposures were tonemapped using Photomatix and the resulting image was processed using Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

Trakai IV

The frozen lake surrounding the castle at Trakia, Lithuania. The lake was so frozen that people are able to walk across it without any problems. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix, Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

Riga I

The light slowly fading during dusk at the Christmas market in Livu Lakumas square in Riga, Latvia. A panorama composed of four lots of three exposure HDR images (twelve total images). Images were stitched together using Hugin, tonemapped using Photomatix and final touch up in Adobe Lightroom.

Trakai III

A panoramic capture of the mist descending over the castle at Trakai, including both wooden bridges and the moon. Four lots of three exposure images (12 shots in total), merged using Hugin, tonemapped in Photomatix and final touch up in Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

Trakai II

A rather photogenic tree found on the castle island in Trakai, Lithuania. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Lightroom.

Trakai I

The castle found on an island surrounded by frozen lakes in Trakia, Lithuania. The locals cleared a path on the frozen lake, however, this was more like an slippery icy walkway of death! A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Antwerp I

The one hundred year old Stadsfeestzaal in Antwerp, Belgium. Destroyed by fire in 2000, the rebuilt and renovated shopping centre was reopened in 2007. Four HDR images (each comprising of three exposures) were merged using Hugin. HDR images were processed using Photomatix and the resulting image was processed using Adobe Lightroom and GIMP. There are a few stitching errors (mainly due to parallax), but I think they're subtle enough not to notice.

Peak District XII

The sun setting over fields in the Peak District. This is a view not far from the start of White Edge. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and adjusted in Lightroom.

Ghent V

I originally uploaded a shot of the "Gerard De Duivelsteen" (a castle in Ghent) that didn't include the full reflection (here), due to not having a wide enough angle lens. Luckily I captured a few shots with a view to stitching them together to give the full view. After an eight month wait here is the finished product. Three HDR images each comprising of three exposures (nine images total) were processed using Photomatix. The resulting three HDR images were stitched together using Hugin, with final touch up being performed in Adobe Lightroom.

Warsaw IV

Dusk over the city skyline of Warsaw. This is looking towards the modern district where new skyscrapers are being built. You can also see the top of the 237 metre Palace of Culture and Science, the tallest building in Poland. The view looking the other way can be found here. This shot was taken from the nearby bell tower of St. Anne's Church using my trusty EOS 500D and 18-55 mm kit lens. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

A three exposure HDR image captured using a Canon EOS 500D with 18-55 mm kit lens. Processing performed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Peak District IX

A highland cow seen not too far from Curbar Edge in the Peak District. I walked past this guy in fading light, he seemed very inquisitive and came within a metre before wandering off. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

The "Castle Square", found in the "Stare Miasto" area of Warsaw, Poland. An alternative view of the square can be found here. Taken using a Canon EOS 500D and 18-55 mm kit lens. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Peak District VIII

The view out from Curbar Edge in the Peak District. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Lightroom.

Helsinki VI

On the approach to Helsinki harbour I spotted this little red tugboat. It's somewhat amazing that some of the ice fragments are not that dissimilar in size to the boat itself! Another shot from the same area is here.

Brussels IV

The Finance Tower (Tour des Finances, Financietoren) is a skyscraper in the Northern Quarter central business district of Brussels, Belgium, designed by the architects Hugo Van Kuyck, Marcel Lambrichs and Léon Stynen. It is the second tallest building in Belgium, and has the most office space of any building in Belgium. A single shot taken with a Canon EOS 500D and kit 18-55mm lens, processed using Adobe Lightroom.
