Zemunski Kej

So I went for a stroll along Zemunski Kej yesterday, and took me camera along. Here are some of me snaps...

Belgrade HDRs

Just messing around with some freeware program (whose name I can't pronounce) and some exposure-bracketing. The result is called an HDR picture, or High Dynamic Range. The result is varied (depending on how you process the images) but the idea is to get a wider spread of exposure than is possible with a regular single-shot camera. I opted for the more extreme-looking post-production on these pictures...

The shell of a building, right next to Brankov Most

The statue of Prince Mihailo III, or the Konj (horse) as the locals call it, on Trg Republike. The building behind him is  the National Museum (Narodni Muzej), which is currently encased in scaffolding.

A sight in Kalemegdan park

A rather dramatic image of a view from the grounds inside the Belgrade Fortress.. The  statue to the right of the centre of the picture is the Pobednik monument, and the structure in the distance is Zapadna Kapija Beograda.
I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of HDR images done in this over-the-top style because they mostly look pretty fake, but they are really impressive nonetheless :)
