Theme of the week 21 is the beauty of the metal. So to do it right I went to the small local “home depot” to buy the proper screws – I have visualize them in my head before the shoot, so I knew what I am looking for! Well, they had them, but about hundred of them cost around 100 bucks! But the shopper assistant Pierrette was kind enough to agree, that I can return them following day, when I shared my story, why I need them. So I have spent the night screwing around 😉Set up was easy – bunch of screws, two flashes and small flashlight. All of them with the color gels and I got several different combinations – what a program for Friday night! And here are some of the final results. Definitely beauty of metal!

project 52 | week 17 – picture of somebody who is taking a picture
Back to my project 52. This is quite an interesting theme and quite an easy for me. Being quite often around Monika’s session (and actually being her official backstage photographer) gives me a lot of opportunities to take a picture of somebody who is taking a picture. This one was particularly unique, as the photographer, was really “on the edge”. Few more centimeters and she (and her camera!) would be in the pond. Well, thankfully, she kept her balanced and as a reward, she got a spectacular pictures on that nice Sunday morning. PS: Second picture is not only showing……how really she was at the edge, but also could be a good candidate for a theme of week 12 – in the center (and/or at the edge)… would you agree? A som naspäť v projekte 52. Tohto týždňová téme “Fotka niekoho, kto fotí”, je zaujímavá a pre mňa pomerne jednoduchá. Nakoľko sa často pohybujem okolo Monikiných foto sessions, mám kopec príležitostí nafotiť niekoho, kto fotí (koniec koncov, bol som menovaný oficiálnym fotografom na zábery spoza scény ;). Táto jedna je obzvlášť špeciálna, nakoľko fotografov siahol doslova “na okraj svojich možností”. Ešte zopár centimetrov a bola by (aj s foťákom!) v rybníku. Chvalabohu, udržala rovnováhu a za odmenu získala v to skoré nedeľné ráno nádherné fotky. PS: Ten druhý snímok len potvrdzuje, ako blízko okraja naozaj bola a dokonca ma napadlo, že by to bol aj dobrý kandidát na tému č. 12 – V strede, a/alebo na okraji, čo poviete? 😉
