My first trip ever to Sweden. To Malmo. This city always reminds me the end of the Jule’s Verne and the end of his book 20000 leagues under the sea. For a long time I thought it is the same place as Maelstrom! Maelstrom!, which are actually the last words Captain Nemo is shouting at his submarine Nautilus, before disappearing and sinking…Anyway, trip was a short one and again, only with a compact point and shoot!But I managed to get one early morning for myself and it has been proven again, that my little Leica with a combination of a great light can do miracles! Look at this one “snapshot”, which has been enhanced just a slightly.More to come! Stay tuned…

Kiev in all colors (and only with a compact camera!)
Kiev, I do apologize. For my prejudice going there to expect a “little Moscow”. Kiev, you are nothing like Moscow, you are much better! Full of colors, green areas, less rush, less traffic and a much more smiles.It is funny to realize, that I have travel all around the world, but I haven’t visited country which is neighboring my home country. And I also did an experiment. As Monika needed my the most favorite travelling lenses for her sessions, I’ve decided to travel only with my compact Leica D-LUX4. And it was a fantastic experience! Leica allowed me to shoot in RAW, to shoot in a manual mode, but the most important fact was, that I had no choice of lenses. So I have to milk the situation with what I had. Obviously, that means, I was more in a “street photography” mood, which was a good decision when you get to places like Saturday’s flea market or one of the thousands churches in Kiev. Enjoy! Yes! This is a “ticket” to Kiev’s metro! 🙂 Garage sales as I know from US are nothing compare this. You can buy here things you wouldn’t believe!
Best of the Prague’s workshop
I was so thrilled, when one of my Prague’s workshopper – Monika – shared with me her pictures taken during a workshop! You have to admit – it is hard to believe that all pictures were taken just during a one day! Thanks Monika! It was a joy to have you in the group! Full album can be found here. Ani si neviete predstaviť, ako som sa potešil, keď mi jedna z účastníčok môjho pražského zážitkového workshopu zaslala svoj výber! Je naozaj ťažké uveriť, že takto rôznorodé fotografie boli nafotené v priebehu jedného dňa! Díky Monika, som naozaj rád, že sme strávili taký skvelý deň!
