My city looked yesterday like a day before yesterday ..

Hello,

one casual (bracketed) shot and lot of manual blending afterwards resulted into this mega-boring exposure .. what you see on the picture is the Prague Castle .. Kinda surprising how short article is in the wiki when the castle is the biggest largest ancient castle in the world (record in Guinness Book of Records too)

I hope you will like it ..

thanks much for your feedback !!

cheers, ~dan

Great dof and detail.

Very nice shot.....

Great dof and detail.

I have terrible secret behind this ... This is made even by blending a M-size/Normal-IQ JPGs instead of working with RAWs .. I started quickly with JPGs just to verify how it will work and somehow forget myself in the process that spewed me out hour later with this done .. I have in my todo list to redo all the work and do it with RAWs for greater detail and IQ

I don’t see any issue with the IQ.

I don’t see any issue with the IQ.

I will be able to dig significantly more from 24MP (6000x4000) RAWs (colours, sharpening, L*a*b adjustments) ofc Vs 13.5MP (4496x3000) JPGs .. I also downscale images that I post here to be 6MP/2MB, this is what you see but if I compare 1:1 on the screen RAWs directly Vs JPGs the improvement is obvious

I am always shooting to RAWs + Normal M-sized JPGs .. I use these JPGs for previews and for sorting ..

Certainly one of the most interesting and charming city in Europe
as I remember the great contacts and experiences I had there!

May not be perfect but it looks pretty nice to me.

Dan, could you post your setting for this picture. I looked for them but no exif data on them.

It's blend of 3 pictures ... here is the final picture with EXIF data from the "normal" (middle - 3s) exposure .. (+ remaining two were short 1/2s and long 20s)
