Bratislava castle at night

Time for another PlayRaw, isn’t it :thinking:
Well, here’s a night shot of one of Bratislava’s most recognized symbols. I personally didn’t edit this shot yet, so here’s just an SOOC .jpg:

Have fun!

I didn’t really get a vision for this one, so it’s just my usual workflow.

Unfortunately, that is valid for me as well. I did it the other way round and tried to break out of my usual workflow.

I decided on a soft, grainy “vintage” look.

I like the shot and couldn’t understand what @Tim and @Popanz were talking about. Once I started editing I also couldn’t do more than just apply my standard modules. DT 5.3 with AGX

Bratislava is such a lovely city - I had the good fortune to visit for a few hours last year.
I missed out on visiting Devin Castle - I think it would represent some good photographic opportunities.

No edits to add here…

I recommend walking the forest trails above Devín – below Devínska Kobyla, especially during spring :smiley:
It’s amazing there

In my edit of another similar shot I also went for B&W look, I couldn’t get the colors to look interesting enough.

The SOOC turned out okay. So far, the B&Ws with cropping are quite effective.

Since the sky is gone, it would be neat to see some sky replacement experiments. :wink: Fun or serious. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
