Cuba – The Queen Of Caribbean
by admin on Mar.07, 2010, under travelling
“Earth! The most beautiful country I’ve ever seen!” is written in the logbook of Christopher Columbus in 1492, when his ship was reaching the Cuban shores. Cuba is a country that is very often presented in a rather distorted way today because of the political situation. My article covers the beautiful nature, rich culture and friendly people the largest island in the Caribbean.

The internet presentation for photographers
by admin on Feb.28, 2010, under news
Photoshelter? Flickr? Smugmug? Twitter? Facebook? The best blog for photographers? What to choose for a photographer’s internet presentation? For a long time I struggled with how to solve photos presentation and backuping of my photos. Photos publishing, get your photos criticized from your fans to provide close-ups for print or download and keep things running, and look good and performs all the functions, it is not entirely easy.
I like criticism, so I like my pictures to publish and track views on them, check out comments etc. I am paranoid toward the backing up, so it backs up, backs up and backs up. I tried a number of photographic services and portals, and finally I chose – I’ll try to share with you my experiences. (continue reading…)

This quick shot is taken in London in 2008. I like the composition of the phone box, the entrance to The Photographer’s Gallery and the woman behind the phone box.

Carl Warner: Foodscapes
by admin on Feb.20, 2010, under featured
Carl Warner is a London-based photographer who is famous for making foodscapes: landscapes made of food. These images look like painted landscapes, including towering hills, sea and stormy weather in the background. However, if you look a little more closely you can see that the sea and storm are made of cabbage, in other photo trees are broccoli and the hills are baked potatoes. But it is not painting, it is a true photo! Also everything you can see in the photograph is made of real food! Thanks to Robert for sending me this tip!
Check out Carl’s website for more photos here.
Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus)
by admin on Feb.17, 2010, under photos
Another shot from National Park Bohemian Switzerland – wildlife workshop with Ondra Prosický in 2009. Aegolius funereus breeds in dense coniferous forests also across northern North America, and in mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Rockies. It lays 3-6 eggs in a tree hole. Across much of Europe, and to a lesser extent in Asia and North America, naturalists and biologists put up nest boxes for these and other small owls.

This smallish owl eats mainly voles and other mammals but also birds as well as insects and other invertebrates. It is largely nocturnal, though in the northern most parts of its range, it is forced to hunt during daylight because of the very short nights in summer.

Venice – undoubtedly the most beatiful city built by man
by admin on Feb.10, 2010, under photos
Venice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of the region Veneto, with a population of almost 300,000. The city historically was the capital of an independent nation. Venice has been known as the “La Dominante”, “Serenissima”, “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges” and “City of Canals”. Luigi Barzini, writing in The New York Times, described it as “undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man”. Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe’s most romantic cities. I was in Venice two times and I must see that it is correct.
Check out my complete gallery Life: Italy from Venice
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is great for stree-photography. Nice streets, romantic places, historical monuments, crowded with people…
With the world’s most artistic masterpieces per square kilometre, you’d think the city would take it easy, maybe rest on its laurels. But Venice refuses to retire from the inspiration business. In narrow calli (alleyways), you’ll glimpse artisans hammering out shoes crested like lagoon birds, cooks whipping up four-star dishes on single-burner hotplates, and musicians lugging 18th-century cellos to riveting baroque concerts played with punk-rock bravado.
Apple Aperture 3 available
by admin on Feb.09, 2010, under news, video
Today, Apple announced Apple Aperture 3. A long time awaited upgrade for the Apple Aperture application for professional photograhpers. We’re waiting for this update for a very long time. Some users already switched to Adobe Lightroom, but not me. And it was a really good decision to wait for Aperture 3!
The new Aperture 3 gives you powerful yet easy-to-use tools to refine images, showcase your photography, and manage massive libraries on your Mac. It’s pro performance with iPhoto simplicity.
You can find all the features on Apple.com or try the trial version! Apple Aperture 3 is fully 64bit, so finally, I can enjoy my MacPro with 8 cores and 16GB RAM. I’m curious how Aperture 3 will use this beast.
