Hello all, I have a project going on this year that I have on WordPress. I like WordPress. The template I'm using is good for photographs, but I am new to blogging, so there are some things that I would still like to add to it.
I blog as a way of…
So peaceful. Isn't it slightly falling to the right? I lnow how hard it is to lose some of it, but I'd probably cut off about a fourth from the bottom.
I am an amateur photographer, who started with film p&s and recently transferred to digital slr. My favourite subjects are flowers, landscapes, and architecture.
Apart from photography I teach English at a university (two, actually), blog a lot, enjoy films and music.

Hi Andrey thanks for all your comments; really appreciate them. On "Symphony of sails", a bit of a challenge here. It did have quite a bit of work on it. I removed a lot of lens flare. I did take other angles so I might have a look at them in relation to the sky.
The scaffolders were actually on a skyscraper in New York but I am actually heading off this coming weekend to photograph a couple of dams. Probably wont find any graffiti artists though.
And sorry mate, Alcatraz was HDR but I did try to keep it as natural as possible in its treatment. It is a very sombre place; lots of tourists like us, but quiet; just the sound of the seagulls. Thanks again Andrey; Cheers John
Andrey thanks for comment on my edit Temple. It's not hdr, i used topaz adjust plagin. http://picasaweb.google.com/svorcan/Grad01#5307144207221489346 that is original shot, not edited at all.
clovered kiwi Thanks. Your right about contrast and sharpness. But this shot is prepared for micro stock market. And they usually don't approve shot with extra sharpening and contrast. But, i'm a bit a full, it's easy job to do just few operation in ps.
Do you selling photos on microstock sites?
Andrey trust me Brooklyn skies can be very flat and boring, just seems that i go out when I have strange and interesting clouds, and this is only during the winter and fall, summer is mostly haze.. so when I can i try to utilize as much sky as I can when the conditions allow it.
Balkan 2.. спасибо Andrey. I like that shot too. That building is in center of Belgrade. I'm planing to take balkan 1 shot again. That door really reflect state of Balkan and my country these days. Actually both shot are shots of a cinema that was one of the best europe 20 years ago
Andrey very kind work on your part, I am glad you like my photography specially since I am never happy with it my self, but I guess we are our own worst critics.
Spasiba, for your comments.
I love your pics, Russia is such a beautiful and inspiring place to take pics. I was in awe of the architecture and history associated with it, while in moscow.
I would really like to know what settings you were shooting with. How are you able to get such clarity and color, all the different textures? The clouds on the horizon look like fire....beautiful. This 'almost' makes me want to move to a coastal reg…
Hey Dan, wondering the same thing. let me know when you find out. Having problems with editing on ps and then resizing so i can post them here on mss. love ya, L
