Yesterday before the planned dinner and sauna Rafal and I went to Sunnersta, he was skating on inlines and I was biking. It took us approximately 2.5 hours to complete the trip and I managed to produce some pictures on the way. We admired a beautiful sunset while having a rest on the lake. However immediately after that it became quite cold so we had to move our limbs and rush back home where Pavel and Oleg were waiting...

Couple of sessions made by new 350D: Night Road to Sala and A Day in Stockholm. I used a tripod in for the first one but it still looks shaky, probably a remote would have helped. The second session is my first try in daylight conditions. It was a calm and gloomy day, perfect scattered light for rich and dynamic pictures Even though I didn't manage to catch the sunset, the flushy light made the buildings shine on the leady cloud background.

This blog is to be devoted to photography. After a couple of years of being an amateur mostly party photographer I've decided to go further, to put some extra effort in order to make my shooting more interesting. I realized that even following extremely simple rules and techniques may turn your photos to masterpieces and make you surprise yourself. Also more advanced equipment makes for manifold possibilities and geting more fun. There are plenty of books about general principles of composition, colors and photography in general. However one simple thing that always works is worth mentioning - practice.
