On Craft, Faith, and Liberty
Today, or rather yesterday according to Slovenia’s time, I had the first real chance to test my new camera and I must say that I’m impressed. I really like the fact that I can see real time the effects of settings changes in the EVF or on the back screen. Looking through EVF instead of … Read more
For almost a decade I’ve been shooting Nikon. Today, however, I’ve made a “radical” move to slowly start switching systems. Before I tell you, which route I took, I want to tell you a bit of a story of my photo gear and the journey I’ve had with it. A while ago, I think it … Read more
I just got home. I realize that the post will have been completed later, but I can still say: “Today was a really really long day. It was a completely full day in its best sense. It was an awesome day, but it was also a very tiring day. I have enjoyed every minute of … Read more
As you saw the title you probably thought: “this guy is already preparing for summer? Come on dude, it’s still relatively cool outside. Is he going somewhere?…” No, I’m not going anywhere, and yes it can still be very cold around here. Some mountaintops are actually still covered with snow. Crazy, right? Anyways… today’s afternoon … Read more
Today I just had enough. I was over-burned because of all the other work I have to do, so I decided: I’ll get into the car, drive a bit and hopefully come to Zbilje “lake” before the sunset. I’m not used to the golden hour photography anyways and I thought this would be a great … Read more
Lately I’ve had lots of things to do for projects that don’t show much tangible results, so I wanted to do some things, that are tangible and I can see. So for couple days, not necessarily in succession, I sat down behind my computer and just drew. In fact I drew so much, that my poor beaten up stylus broke. Anyhow… here is some of my latest work.
Today, or rather yesterday, I was out with friends in the Movies. I didn’t think that it would have snowed that same evening, but it did. So as I was coming home, I felt compelled to pick up the camera and yet again make some photos. It felt strange standing in the middle of the road, that is during the day the busiest road out here.
Yesterday my good friend Anelisa and I went to see couple of friends in Bovec.We took off in the morning as the mist was still grounded in the meadows. As we were heading through Železniki, the fog started rising and as the sun shone through, it was as if I drove through the heavenlies. It was beautiful. When we came to Bovec, the fog finally cleared and the cloudless blue skies appeared.
Kelleys, whom we visited, are an inspiring family serving God in that region and I am so thankful that they get to be a blessing not only to the people of Bovec and the area, but also in my life. Yesterday, as we spent the better part of the day there, we ate together, played games (like Spot-it, Jungle-Speed, etc.) talked a bunch and just had some really nice time together. I am so thankful for them.
Unfortunately we had to leave as the hour was getting late. But before we left, Bovec had another surprise for us. The bright moon lit the entire valley and the skies, still clear, were full of stars. The scenery in Bovec always amazes me. I can’t wait for the next time I get to visit them.
Before anything, I just want to wish you a pleasant, peaceful and free New Year, full of blessings and beauty.
Most of you probably went out, hang out with your friends or family, and I stayed at home. In the evening we had a dinner with my parents and my grandma, and after that my parents watched movies and I went upstairs to read a bit. Suddenly I noticed, that it’s almost midnight. I grabbed my camera, the tripod, and an ushanka (a russian hat) and ran outside to take some shots, because as I suspected, the neighbours, close and far, had fireworks ready.
These are the last shots of 2014 and the first ones of 2015.
Just couple days before New Year 2015, it started snowing. In a good day about 35cm of snow covered the ground. Yesterday it started freezing, and after I got home a tad before midnight, I just had to grab my camera and record this chilling night.
