After a very long time, thanks to my friend Víťa, I’ve taken some fresh pictures of Bohemian Switzerland. Waking up in 4am and on the place at 4,30am – a really fresh morning! The weather was not perfect, but the national park is beautiful in any conditions…

Me taking shots of our nice countryside, photo by Vítězslav Jančák.

All my shots are taken with Nikon D700 + Nikkor 24-70f2.8

Extreme sports photographer Mark Watson tells of the photographic adventure of a lifetime – capturing the spectacular Morning Glory cloud. Using a Nikon D300S + 10.5mm fisheye lens attached to the hang glider he provides an incredible angle of the mysterious formation. In an amazing feat, world record holding, Red Bull hang-glider Jonny Durand, has become the first man ever to perform aerobatics on the cloud above the remote wilderness of the Gulf Of Carpentaria.

Join Marc Silber for an inside look at Ansel Adams’ home: His son Michael gives us a rare inside look at Ansel’s gallery – where we hear the story behind one of his most iconic shots “Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico” – how he captured it with only moments of light to spare. Then see his darkroom with unreleased footage of Ansel at work, you have a view of the man producing his indelible images. You’ll come away with a new understanding of this great artist’s work.

Arches National Park is a U.S. National Park in eastern Utah. Arches National Park contains the world’s largest concentration of natural stone arches. This National Park is a red, arid desert, punctuated with oddly eroded sandstone forms such as fins, pinnacles, spires, balanced rocks, and arches. The 73,000-acre region has over 2,000 of these “miracles of nature.” When I was there this year, the weather was changing every minute – and that is the best weather for photography, as you may see…

Born in 1946, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has always been fond of nature. It was in the late 70s, in Kenya, while studying with his wife Anne the every day life of a pride of lions that, that he truly became a photographer. He understood that he had to tell the facts through images rather than words. He also discovered the beauty of the world seen from above when he became a hot air balloon pilot and began experimenting aerial photography.

This photo was taken at The Mono Lake in United States this year on my trip to US. I like the colours of the mountains and the way in front. The Mono Lake area is a great place for great shots and it is quite near to the Bodie State Historic Park. I’ll talk about my trip to Bodie in winter next time!

Zion National Park is a national park located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile park is Zion Canyon 15 miles long and up to half a mile deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. I was in Zion for only one day on my trip to the US, but it is the place where I want to go again.

One of the most interesting parts of Europe for the warmer weather enthusiasts is no doubt part of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain have shared the romantic and rugged coastline, from which with some luck, you can see the outlines of black Africa. We went into this area to experience the spring in Portugal.

The village is situated at the border of Bohemian Switzerland and the Lusatian Mountains consists of two parts – Old and New Doubice – which merged with the housing development consisting in a number of vernacular buildings.

As a member of The Czech Federation of Photographic Art, my work was a part of our national collection for FIAP 23rd Colour Print Biennial in Ireland, Dundalk. I’m very happy that my photo got 20 points from 20 and helped our collection to get 9th place from 50. It is the best place Czech Republic ever had. (continue reading…)
