behold! no, just kiddin. Went out for some portrait work. Let this be a post to learn from then.
but before, I need, well more like I want, to learn some group portraits. I mean two and more people. Any ideas where to start?
for you folk: don't you have leave home without a bouncer. My mistake, but what the hell, atleast I won't forget in future.

preseting the magical La Fe Verte (aka Paťa)





quite fun, the fact that I was standing on a glass roof, It is little wrong to take pictures from above the model, because it would make her look smaller, than she actualy is. Thus wanting to capture her figure (damn good looking in the corset btw) I needed to get the edge of the roof off the shot.


a typically bad pise..leaned strait to camera is allways bad, wonder why I even took this. Still, see the edge of the roof...it's not in line with eyes..or even head. Keep that in mind (I'm actualy writing this for my self too :) )


some "behind the scene"...not really behind. Just wanter to show her more, let's crazier side


remeber this? she actualy had him/it on her bag


she's a nice girl. Just loves to show of her other personalities :)

like dancing on a roof in middle of a forest

you may even obtain a rejective gesture, if you don't know when not to press the trigger



I think Paťka got bored a bit while switching lenses




I personaly like the weak shadow from the leaves on her hair. Some could use this more creativly, flash used, to soften the harsh sun light. Wrong background nevertheless.


Horror Show, as La Fee named this series

not many details for this
flash used on every single, bounced from ceiling

made the "grid" more intense, which wasn't the primary goal


yet the vision couldn't be done without it. My vision. It's symbolic.


holding her "bad side" away



thought, she escaped :)
I like the framing here veeery much. Flash bouncing here was quite a hell of job, could use some more from bottomside.


and probably didn't like the change of location. But still on the roof. Kinda fallen roof.


and some toned BWs






at the end, a big thanks to La Fee, for being my model for a while. It keeps me improving every day.

screw this blog and it's photo uploading system
these photos are kinda messed up...and I'm to lazy to get them back in correct order
these are some from the whole month or so..from Brno and Prievidza with various lenses, including Carl Zeiss for medium format (it is quite unbelievable how sharp those lenses are on a dSLR)

old storehouses for local stores

fishlike junk under my feet :)

old elevator shaft reflection

and even a forgotten cross-word

experiments with tilt-shift lens
juggler at VIP stand (Brno runs 2009 - official name, marathon through the inner city)

my habit..taking pictures of photographers..especialy those with loooong lenses
zooming till death

live statues also took part of this event..clearly a Coca-Cola ad (well..he was quite red all over his clothes, face, etc.), although I don't quite get the meaning of the computer screen

Homer Simpson live in Brno???

climb a Coca-Cola bottle..faaancy..sadly for children only

another live statue..there were actualy five or six of them..kinda lost track of them in the crowd

these are the only two shots of the acctual run

and I even hadn't checked the focus..just pushed the button

ZoooOOOooooM
(please don't mind the rail in the corner)

THE moment

why to run when you can ride!

a local photography store as a main sponsor..and the timer driver

first runner..or I'd say zero runner...runing away from the crowd

pre-opening day of Laugaricio, new shopping centre in Trencin

I just love all the commerce in these shopping centers...note the irony please

happy children - running FROM the cetner :)

taken with one of those medium format lenses, I wanted to shot some horses..yet there were none. I at least found this moment.

have you ever dreamed of clothes company balloon?

pure woman hand-bag shop..and its visitor

moving in the dishwasher...well it was the pre-opening day

burning the Morena...slavic way of welcoming the spring

the Morena was..well..smaller than I expected...note the tiny doll above the rail

still..the custom can't be forgotten

ass-glory..as Rado noted

Majkas portraits

it took me a while to find that dirty window

a romantic look at airport in Prievidza

again the elevator shaft..from the thing that used to be a roof of adjacent building...taken a week later than the other shots

poor little guy

Majka taking photo of Lenka..wonder where she is...

screw the system...this photo should've been above few photos

a doorknob at bicycle service in Brno

main gas valve. definitely not in that hole

thinking about the life, the universe and everything. Very nice place to relax..a small river in a quite large park in Brno

a worker posing for the camera. Sweet..told them I'm doing a project for the university. But not this one..those cars in back doesn't do any good.

nice sunlight...the building was really in glow. Magic hour before sunset.

small monument in honor of this manforgotten place

I will try to take more shots of interesting windows

again the bicycle service with its...uhm..I don't really know how the name this idea
