comments and thoughts: What could that be?
http://franeksiedlok.blogspot.com/2012/05/p-hotography-offers-possibility-to-play.html
What could that be? Hotography offers the possibility to play with unusual perspectives of the, sometimes ordinary and mundane, elements of the daily world. What this might be? Mayan pyramids during solstice? Ometimes the secret lies in looking for the strange shapes, features or patterns of colours that look different, strange, unusual or even alien from a particular angle. Another example is a close-up of some patterns on a coast on Isle of Arran. There was an error in this gadget. Other places to visit.

comments and thoughts: Travel flash
http://franeksiedlok.blogspot.com/2012/05/travel-flash.html
Raveling often means indoor photography or trying to take a portrait in a harsh daylight. One of the options is using a flash. We all know the limits of the build-in flashes - even on the most expensive cameras. And most of external flashes are intimidatingly big. Recycling times. But if that does not bother you - it is hard to go wrong for the price it sells for. Dark room, dark object - and reasonably even illumination. Detail of pheasant's feather. O for the same price you can get an even smaller flas...

comments and thoughts: When light is no good
http://franeksiedlok.blogspot.com/2012/08/when-light-is-no-good.html
When light is no good. Hen the light is too harsh it often feels like pack it up and move on. Or not even take the camera out. Ut sometimes it is just worth experimenting a bit. The direct sun created strong reflections - and after watching the shimmering light for a while I realised the reflections of the pattern of concentric rings forming on the water. Combined with 2 steps underexposure made it an interesting picture. Or at least a picture worth taking. There was an error in this gadget.

comments and thoughts: Photo fashion
http://franeksiedlok.blogspot.com/2012/08/photo-fashion.html
M definitely not the fashionable one. Outdoor gear and bulky camera bag hardly comes as 'fashionable' in a city. Fashion becomes enslaved by practicality, protection and comfort. Instead I usually laugh at 'badly' coordinated fashion - or people who spent heaps on most ridiculous (i.e. uncomfortable and impractical) overpriced rugs - I mean top-brand fashion items. Ne day you might get invited to a fashion show. If it comes with free nibbles and drinks it would be rude to say no! To get some extra light?

Brief visit by any standard. And most of the free time was spent on cruising between various camera shops. But even with a Swiss-cheese like itinerary full of tiny holes to fill in with the wonders of the gateway to China, some things are inevitable. He classics: the peak, the symphony of lights, the markets – and some of the classic narrow streets brimming with life. Watch out as it seems easy to catch fire from the often still burning incenses. Inally, the most laughable feature seem to be the so-calle...

The Tree is Dead. He iconic Tree of Ranoch Moor (aka the Jeremy's Tree to many) is no more. A tree that was a focal point for countless photographs, a trunk that inspired hundreds - if not thousands. A meeting point for plentiful workshops, seminars, courses, retreats. After 3 early mornings and -12C finally we got the light! Waiting for the perfect light. A n icon that probably could outshine many of the top catwalk models when it comes to the number of lenses pointed at! Some wound wander off in disapp...

When it just does not feel like shooting. This could make an interesting photo story. A few ideas:. Slow shutter, high vantage and one of the landmark buildings to get the constant stream of people on the streets of Little India. Crowds of friends relaxing by some tea and shisha around the Arab Street - get the details of the setting: the ties, the smoke, the deeply relaxed look on the faces of the patrons. Getting the smoke would be hard - but since things are moving slowly there. Other places to visit.

comments and thoughts: the making of... Essential Auckland
http://franeksiedlok.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-making-of-essential-auckland.html
The making of. Essential Auckland. T is already 10 minutes past the sunrise. Some stranded rays are shooting upwards and sideways from behind the cloud. The fluorescent-like, cold light makes the morning feel even damper and colder. Steel-coloured sky above the city of sails. S the sun went up and the air finally started to warm, pockets mist commenced their way up. Numerous white chimneys of smoke - yet no Pope to be announced. Id I get it? How many water droplets on the lens? As the thoughts race throu...
