The work of an artist

March 5th, 2010

Aperture, f number, shutter speed, exposure, ISO setting, mattering, bracketing, for a “normal” person this has no meaning. But for a photographer is the difference between a picture and a photograph. I sad for a “normal” person, because to be a photographer, you need to be a bit “abnormal”, out of the ordinary, in a strange way, because you have to see everything from a different angle, so you can capture something else then a normal person sees or else, you end up to be exactly like a tourist, just because you haven’t seen that “thing”.

Lenses, filters, batteries, memory cards, these are usual stuff that you find in a backpack or a bag hanging on a photographer’s shoulder. You ignore everyone around you, there is only you and the viewfinder, you never think what people say about you when you lay on your belly or you crawl under a fence or even when you stay in a position that’s a bit funny or strange.

Being a photographer can sometimes be a challenge, or is most of the time, not just sometimes, a challenge. But in the end it pay’s off, when you see your creation. An example of that you can see in the images below and more of that here.

Sunny day in Brno

January 8th, 2010


December 26th 2009, after a pretty cold and snow less Christmas, it was time for a sunny and relatively warm day, and although it’s a winter day, everything changes. All becomes brighter and more beautiful, even people’s mood changes, even though, being a weekend day, there are not so many people on the street. However, that can be a good thing, because that way the city is quieter and is more relaxing.

One thing that “smiles” on a sunny day is the architecture of the buildings, which as can be seen in the pictures below, is absolutely gorgeous. As a meter of fact almost the whole city, especially the center area,  is constructed with this architecture. I don’t think that writing  about this is more relevant then the pictures themselves, so I am gonna let the pictures speak.
