Fujifilm is on a roll recently. Since the launch of the X series of cameras, the company has managed to create a lot of waves in the digital camera world. The just released Fujifilm X100s is the update to the acclaimed X100.…
A Pompeii visit is easy to do from Naples or Rome. A city frozen in time after the volcanic eruption in AD 79. That year Mount Vesuvius erupted after a series of earthquakes, and Pompeii and the nearby Herculaneum were…
Rome is a city of contrasts – a good recipe for photography. Travel to Rome to admire the old Roman temples and museums full with art of classic master painters and sculptors. Find a hotel in Rome in a quiet…
Fuji X10 manages to do a nice job for macro photography. It is somewhat uncomfortable to get at ~1 to 5 cm distance from the subject, but the results are very nice. After playing with macro lenses for Canon DSLR,…
I find this photo very endearing, as it embodies a lot of the stereotypes about tourists. Looking somewhat lost, carnying a few bags, staring intently at a map – all fit so well. And I think everyone at one point or another…
What Venice lacks in color (but makes up in the grandeur of the Gran Canale palaces), Burano makes up for it. Whether the colors were chosen to attract the crowds of tourists, or because all the happy Italians moved to Burano I do not…
European cities, long weekends and photography go very well together. The “common” knowledge says that the fourth element is sun. There is a general feeling that in order to make good photos a lot of sun is mandatory. Yet the…
Photography in Venice, Italy, is a real pleasure. The maze of canals and narrow streets, little restaurants and shops, the splendour of the palaces on the Grand Canale and of course the countless gondolas offer countless opportunities to capture beautiful imagery. This was my…
Sri Lanka is famous for it’s tea plantations. In the central highlands in Sri Lanka there are huge hill slopes covered in tea bushes, and seeing women going to pick the tea leaves is a common sight. Some of these…
I realized I hadn’t posted any photo from Sri Lanka – which is a shame as it is a very interesting and fascinating country. As I process more photos from that trip – with highlights as the ascension on Adam’s…
Slow day photo wise, but I did find a very nice image I took in Sibiu. I really enjoyed the beautiful colors of the buildings -I am not used to see houses painted so full of colors in Romania.
I think Spain is one of the greatest places to visit – and it can offer photographic gems for several trips. While I have in the past visited Madrid, Toledo, Aranjuez, Barcelona and a few other places, until this summer…
In Maldives the average temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, and the winters are not that different from summers. Rains? I think they do happen once in a blue moon. The people do say that the sea can get rough, and…
Every time I browse these photos I remember fondly the delicious food from India. From yummy vegetarian food to different curries, everything is so tasty.
I took so many photos in India, that probably this year I will continue to post photo albums from time to time. These were taken mostly in Goa.
A friend and colleague of mine – Bianca (biancabardas.com) – who is also passionate about photography had a great idea of a photo project. Each month (relatively speaking – we are already somewhat late) we should choose a theme and…
Besides Amber fort, Jaipur has a lot of other places to visit. Even a simple stroll in the markets can provide a lot of photo opportunities. And visiting the city palace, the astronomical (or astrological) observatory, the monkey and sun…
Do all photographers have a pet obsession? Your cat maybe? Or interesting windows? Or – i think this is a phase in every female photog life – pictures of the feet. After a few tens of thousands of photos I…
I have finally decided to put a serious gallery plugin on this blog. Right now my photos are lost among a lot of posts, and I have no way to offer a professional look to my photography. After watching in…
