Caught and photographed in LED flashlight beam, the lonely traveler used the silent hours to cross our patio.

What's to say? Seems like everybody is looking for one, nowadays... :)

Cropped from a photo taken at a test shoot for mag cover.

A bit of editing fun, based upon a slightly altered real story. Places and faces have been omitted to protect the innocent... ;)

Lake Ohrid sunset, unique as always. This time it was those cloud ribs, showing some interesting high atmosphere movement bathed in the last sunrays.

My favorite artist enjoys what she and her camera encounter all around us.
And I'm quietly enjoying the sight :)

Behind The Lens

Location

An abandoned village by the name of Niska on Cres Island (Croatia, Northern Adriatic). Nobody lives there any more, but the ambient is nigh perfect for various things, like outdoors theater happenings, movie-making, or as a photo background for fashion or similar shoots.

Time

14:43

Lighting

Natural light, no add-ons nor filtering.

Equipment

SONY DSC-R1, hand-held.

Inspiration

The stone walls, beautiful shadows and the coarse setting for various shooting possibilities. Also, some special silence and an atmosphere of expectation that lingers there.

Editing

This version has been converted from color image to b&w for a contest, and has also been cropped from somewhat larger original.

In my camera bag

Two cameras. One has more flexible optics, the other is waterproof. It's been my standard for many years, and I still think this to be my minimum. Until someone creates a waterproof camera with a great big zoom, full-frame sensor and f1.4 :)

Feedback

For one reason or another, our World is and probably never will be short on ruins. It pays to roam your surroundings to locate some, as such places can be a welcome contrast to the themes you might want to photograph there! And be careful: some stones easily dislodge, so take care exploring! Also, whether you know it to be abandoned, it is almost always someone's property. Respect that and behave like a guest, rather than a grave-robber! :)
