Winter in Piatra

As I've said before, it's snowing here. Yesterday we had a beautifully sunny day, but today, snow again. :-) I guesstimate about 30 cm has fallen until now.
I took this picture on the walk from Iuliana's parents' to her aunt and uncle's place.

White Christmas

It started snowing on the 24th and hasn't really stopped since.
Here are two pictures I took today :-).
Merry Christmas to all of you!!!

Breakfast @ the KVS

Went for croissants this morning. :-)

Took my camera with me and shot this little beauty :-)

well, okay then

Here's a second one... this is actually what was at my back when I took the earlier one.

Place Royale

Went to place royale to take this pano. 8 exposures.

Another morning lit scene :-)

Did this one the same morning as the panorama.
Enjoy!

Brussels in the morning; a panorama of 15 exposures

I was up early this morning and took these with the intention of finally doing a panorama.
I'm very impressed by photomerge! The full resolution picture is 17021*3039 (yup that's 51 MegaPixels for you :-) ) and 158 Mb as a .psd or 21 Mb as a .jpg. :-s

First of all: THANK YOU SINTERKLAAS!!

Yes it seems I've been a good boy this past year! Students studying technology at accredited online schools will be jealous of these presents. I got a Wacom Bamboo 1 tablet and a ColorSpyder Express from the old man.
I couldn't be happier :-)

Another test

This is one of the 'towers' of the fortress in both jpg and png format. anybody spot any differences? :-)

The iPhone version here is only png.

Lighthouse

The lighthouse of Cabo Sao Vicente. picture taken from the Fortress in Sagres.
For test purposes, this is a PNG file instead of a JPG. I'm trying to see if there's a quality difference that makes the larger file size worth the switch...
iPhone version here (also PNG).

That holiday feeling

Thought I'd treat you all to a nice sunny picture in these dreary times of 'winter'.

Abandoned

We passed this ruin on one of our walks in Lagos. I really liked it so I snapped a couple of shots.

The iPhone version is here.
PS: all editing for this and the previous picture done in the new Camera RAW and PeeEss Cee Ess Fore , which totally rock!

The church, another view

This is also the church in the Fortalezza do Sagres. I really like how dramatic the sky turned out above the white of the church walls. Hope you like it as well! The iPhone version is here as usual.
