Think, Color 2

Think, Color 2

So, I’ve been criticized for not posting enough examples and not explaining more about subject I wrote about, color particularly. That’s why I went for a walk the other day, looking for color I decided that the part 2 will be the simplest it can be. It was a dull weather and dull scenery. Winter is nothing like the real winter we used to. It’s like a depressed fall here. I…

Think, Color 1

Think, Color 1

As everything I’m writing here, this would be also simple. First and foremost, there are many useful tips, articles, even videos on the net related to the color , just Google it and you’ll find enormous amount of knowledge there. Maybe it will be overwhelming for someone who’is just starting to see colors in photography but nevertheless color is a must know if you want to improve yourself. Information you…

Self portraits

Self portraits

Taking self portraits is difficult for me, in a sense that I’m not being comfortable in front of the camera. I actually don’t have many photos with me being on them, and none of them are decent enough to call them successful at any means. So, I have to do something if I want my children to remember what I was like when they grow up.  I took this selfie-avatar recently. It…

My 6D is here

My 6D is here

My 6D  has just arrived. It was on a long journey and finally come to me. It’s my first upgrade actually and a great one too. It feels so comfortable holding it in one hand and settings are on good places, I’m saying all this because my hands are experiencing huge body/settings difference between my Oly and my 6D. Would you believe me if I tel you that I can’t…

Got in and out, Stock Photography

Got in and out, Stock Photography

Since this is a blog about my photography path and experience I need to mention my stock experience. I was starting to learn about food photography. Somewhere along came stock photography. A friend asked me why not to try it. I like challenges and I was sort of stuck in the house. I thought, yeah, why not, have nothing to lose. I had a camera and food in the house,…

Documenting a house, a family

Documenting a house, a family

I’ve just met him again. His family, wife and three sons, would certainly get mentioned here but I didn’t planned to talk about them now. However, we’ve just met again and he gave me that look. Thoughts are here, so why not to say something. They live just God knows where, I couldn’t believe when I got there. Roads with no asphalt, scenery without houses, just grass, rocks, hills and valleys. My…

I killed the picture!

I killed the picture!

Yeah, I drained it, sucked every bit of life that those pixels had. Over processing is tiny little term to be mentioned here. There just must be some other proper words to explain what I did. To sum all I can just call it dead. I  killed it. This photo was taken some time ago. Again of course my Oly e520 and the kit lens. I was learning at the…

Equipment’s limitation

Equipment’s limitation

First I want to say and you need to realize is that true photography is not about the equipment. Camera is just a tool. Most of the people will realize that fact after spending some time, money and after learning more about photography. Few years in this field and your brain will immediately process technical information, but the most important would be the fact that someone succeeded to tell the…

Receiving a critique

Receiving a critique

Well, if you want to hear something great about your photos, just ask your family for their opinion. I guarantee you that they will be wowed! My sister in law is my “boost confidence” person. Everything I show or send to her is perfect or “Just perfect”. I send her a photo or two and ask for opinion when I need to hear something positive. Even this blog. It’s great,…

Giving critique to another photographer

Giving critique to another photographer

I learned so much by giving critique to another photographer. It doesn’t matter where he/she stands in photography, really. Giving a critique to an inexperienced photographer will teach you maybe even more then looking at the work of experienced one. Lots of time I force myself to really look at the photo I don’t particularly like knowing that I’ll definitely get something out of it. Would you take a moment…
