Teasing crops

Teasing crops are - crops of unsuccessful photographs during the years, will put just details and leave the rest for your imagination

As promised

As promised, here is the view from the kitchen window to the Eiffel tower, again on a rainy day. You can also see the Christmas lights on the boulevard. Picture is taken in 2011.

Two pictures from Vilnius, Lithuania

I made a trip to Vilnius in august 2012 and spent some time shooting the streets. Couldn't catch nothing interesting, but here you go, two shots on a small street in the old town.

Had fun with canonet camera

A friend gave me Canon Canonet QL 17 GIII camera to have some fun some time ago. I shot 2 expired color films with it and will show you some of them here.

Made this one from a car at 50 km/h on our trip to Vidin, Bulgaria some years ago.

Pictures from Smolyan

Long story short - made some pictures on our trip with friends to Smolyan, was to lazy to develop them myself, gave them for development in a photo shop/lab in Sofia... You'll see the results.

They are made with my camera Mamiya RZ 67 Pro II - and there are no light leaks and never were. The ones of you that know this camera brand and model, sure know what I'm talking about.

Still you can see the city of Smolyan, (Bulgaria) not only the light leaks.

Best post for Christmas

What's best to post on Christmas day? Should I post at all... - these were the questions in my head

And when I saw that picture I knew I want to post it on Christmas day.

Picture of my grandmother, I took in summer of 2012, she came back from her garden with mud all over on her clothes  and fresh tomatoes in her hands, it was raining all morning.

I felt that I have to take picture at this moment, as I know how much she loves her garden.

With her we all feel at home no matter where we are.

Beeping sound of the battery

Beeping sound of the battery is something I often ignore or just don't have replacement battery with me. The camera I use is Mamiya RZ67 Pro II, the battery lasts very long time, probably around one year. So here are 2 pictures made by the camera, not by me ;)

This is in Normandie, I'll post some pictures from there later. You can tell it was cold, but what do you expect in December. (2011)

This one is shot in Paris, don't remember when, but I think it was in a small garden in front of the Louvre, people on a bench with Eiffel tower in background. Well the camera wanted something else to show. This time I had a spare battery and I replaced it. Then I made the shot, it was nothing special, the camera made more artistic and interesting photograph in my opinion. Will upload the original shot at some point here.

BTW the camera has the RB mode and you can use it without battery, but as they say in one funny advertisement with Uma Thurman - "Hey! What did you expect ?"

P.S. I think you'd like the video here

Let's start

Let's start from home

This is a unsuccessful photograph made almost one year ago from my kitchen window, on a rainy day with some skyscrapers of La Défense.

The view on the other side probably is better, will try to show it here on the blog at some point.
