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…

Turn that volume down!

Turn that volume down!

“Could you please, turn that volume down?!” No one could really put the number on  how many times I’ve said that. Everywhere I go I want to turn the volume down. TV, radio, people, machines… just anything. My husband takes remote control, and after a few seconds I’ll yell: “Turn the volume down!” After a while, he probably thinks that I’ve adapted on the sound already and he tries to…

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…

Words and Photography

I want to learn skills in everything I do, as much as possible or as much as my capabilities will allow me. That is who I am as a person. In writing, photography and in everything else actually, one should now basic principles in order to pass the message without unnecessary mess. Communicating in a foreign language f.e. One has to learn some basic grammar in order to communicate better…

My photography investment choices

My photography investment choices

My camera is Olympus e520 and I’ve been using it for about 5 years now. My friend bought it for me because I didn’t know anything about photography and he “knows about technology”. (after I got interested in photography and had some chances to try a Canon/Nikon dslr I found that my Oly is not that good…but, it is mine and for that it is the best.) So I’ve been…

Succeded! I ignored a translator.

Since I hadn’t blog at that time, messaging once again. “Hi Leonore, I’m back from a two days business trip/workshop. The theme was “Investors Aftercare”, the consultant was from Barcelona. His English was good and he looked like a nice guy. After his presentation we ended up talking about some problems in that field and then laughing. Nice experience. When any of the workshops is held, they bring a translator….

Going with misophonia details here

Again, I’ll use a part of the message I wrote to Leonore, I went into detailed description. “‘I’m in a strange mood… So perhaps I could write a bit… I’m still in the process of convincing myself that there are other people there with the same problem. I was analyzing myself trough the whole life trying to figure out why? And I figured it. At least I think I did….
