New on 500px : The Hungarian Parliament Building by thomasmorkeberg by thomasmorkeberg

This photo from my last trip to Budapest is probably the one I am most happy that I was able to capture. The reason is that for the last six or seven times I have been to Budapest, I have not been able to get a straight on shot of the Parliament building. Every time there has been a big restaurant ship docked right in front of it, blocking the straight on view. This time was no different so I went up to the Fisherman’s bastion to see if I could get a better view from up high, only to see that the ship was leaving dock. I rushed down to the riverbank again to capture some straight on long exposures of the Parliament building and got among other this image.

I used the Lee Big Stopper and a Triggertrap to capture this 73 sec long exposure.

New on 500px : The Money Pit by blurrr001 by blurrr001

“The Money Pit”
Thor’s Well, Oregon Coast

Follow me on Facebook & Goolge +

I was invited on a Pacific Northwest trip & one of the stops was Thor’s Well. I had known of this spot but had never shot there. I asked my buddy Majeed Badizadegan since he has shot here & come away with some great results. He said go at high tide for best results and watch the ocean you can get rocked pretty good if you don’t measure conditions. Well he was right & then some. I was shooting with a group of 5; plus a couple others. It was definitely high tide and swells were on the border of “ your going to get wet no matter what” & “ your going to get hammered” <— pun intended.

I didn’t call this image the Money Pit for nothing. I felt like we were on a battlefield, camera bodies, lenses, and people were going down to the left & right of me. thousands of $$ of equipment were being consumed by this hole in the earth. You could see when a large swell was coming in and all you could do was turn 180 degrees plant your feet, raise your tripod by the legs as high as you could and brace yourself. the swells would hit you in the back of the legs and travel up your back before retreating. I was one of the fortunate ones to come out unscathed, and with a decent shot to boot, but I didn’t take my eyes off the swells coming in and had enough time to react. Should I have just admitted defeat and shot from a safe distance? The smart play would be yes, but then again whats the fun in that.

I have shot a lot of places with sketchy hikes, shooting on cliff ledges, and standing in chest deep water, but I have never seen a location consume electronics like a fat kid with candy. We were there for 2 hours and I witnessed at least 13k worth of damage to equipment, I can only imagine the devastation of this place over the course of a year.

Don’t let me scare you though, its a beautiful place and worth the visit even if you don’t take your camera out of the bag.

New on 500px : Hide & Seek II by danyeidphotography by danyeidphotography

I found this shot in my library dated back in 2014 during the fog season in Dubai. When the fog hits the city & reach a very high point, it’s better & highly recommended to shoot above the fog. In my case I was on the 75th floor. By time the fog gets lower until it reaches ground zero & vanishes. As you can see in this shot that the fog is covering most of the Marina bay area including the high towers. My advise is always to shoot on a long exposure mode by adding a ND filter 3 stop or less depend on the timing & available light to have smooth wave layers.
