Panorama of High Tatras

Yesterday early morning when leaving the mountains of High Tatra in Slovak Republic we stopped in the nearby city of Poprad and at that moment we got a magnificent view over the mountains. I quickly grabbed my camera and took six vertical shots that I later on stitched together using the software Hugin that I mentioned also in my previous post. Camera spec: Canon 40D with Canon 60mm EF-S macro, F7.1 @ 1/200, ISO 100.

Lonely Trees

I am visiting High Tatra mountains in the Slovak Republic this week and today I had a walk nearby the town of Stary Smokovec. I took three photos of the lonely landscape with a few alone-standing trees and stitched them together using Hugin. It was a foggy day so the mountains in the background are not visible, but I think that it only adds to the loneliness feeling in this image. Most of the trees where taken down by a storm about six years ago and it will take many more years before the nature restores the landscape to its original beauty. Camera spec: Canon 40D with Tokina 11-16 2.8 at 11mm, F9 @ 1/200, ISO 100.
