Still life alive.

After a long absence, I'm back on the track with the blog. As a practical exercise I've decided  to do some still life photography. This particular image is a start of the series I'm going to work on in the near future. Feel free to have a look and leave some comment, ask questions or say hello. Thx!

An amazing NIK's plugin worth mentioning is Silver efex which is a digital darkroom for black&white photography. Apart from turning photographs in to black&white, it offers emulation of different styles of known photographic films, toning effects, detail boost and many more.

Exhibit!

A few months ago we went with my photography class to Paris for a two week visit in paris-adaise of cuisine et l'amoure de france. Working hard between bottles of wine and portions of cheese we have created a collection of images portraying French people, culture and architecture.
The collection is going to be exhibited in French Institute in Edinburgh between 30th of September and 29th of October 2011.
More details and a preview of some of the images can be found here:

It's still a few weeks away but feel free to let me know if you've been, seen and enjoyed.

A wee trip up north.

As the summer is slowly falling in to an autumn, I've decided to go for a wee trip up north to one of my favourite places in Scotlan, again :)
Ranoch Moor is full of magic and mistery and standing in the evening at the side of Loch Nah-Achlaise gives you shivers on your back while the sun dissaperas behind the horizon...
