Took a couple of shots of the snow that fell today, in the rapidly fading like of early evening.

Bratislava

The city I have loved and learnt in, for the last four years. 'Oh how you have changed me, I hope I've left some mark on you..'

Decay

It can be beautiful

The Path

Just walk.

Shelvin

Sometimes it seems you just have to use whatever you can to display your wares. 

A Hike

Because we can and Autumn is Beautiful..

FALL

It must be a rush to fall out of a tree and make your way to the ground. Otherwise they wouldn't do it year on year would they?

Tasmania

GO THERE..

Parisian Night

Old Vs New.
Fun Vs Study

Moulding together in the French Capital.

In Bratislava.

Cornwall Coastline

This photo of the Cornwall coastline really spoke to me. Technically the exposure levels are a little off and it could probably do with a bit of a touch up. Yet the positioning of the boats just inside the reflection of the sun, the colour levels and the water on the coastline all help to give me the sense of being back in this scene.

Sunset

So much fun playing with the camera settings, looking at the sunset... Can't decide which photo I like most. Or which works best for me... Just really enjoy the whole rang as a series..

Nature

Two shots from today, playing with the camera settings in manual mode... both of these photos were shot around 6:30pm with rapidly dimming light, and no flash..

Exhibition

So on the weekend I am going to a small exhibition / get together of some photographers in Slovakia. It is an opportunity for all to show some works, be voted on by peers and also mingle and discuss all things photography wise... I decided I would like to put some photos up. I was planning to only limit to photos taken this year, but two from last year grabbed my eye, and so that means I have decided to get 5 photos printed, at a size of 30X40cm, to display on Saturday.
Now I am trying to decide upon names for each of the photos.. If anyone has any ideas I would like to hear them. I have some in the back of my mind, but not sure if anything fits.
Below are the 5 photos, some have been on this blog before, but I wanted to post the whole series to be seen as a group.

Bratislava Photo Marathon 2010

12 photographs on 12 topics over 6 hours.. Sounds easy, however, when in the heat of the moment, thinking of ideas. Easy quickly disappears..
Had an amazing day though, was really fun to challenge myself and develop my abilities.
Below are the photos, in order, with the topic which they relate. Taken straight from the list given to us this morning..

Caught in the Act

We are Reflections of the Same

When in Bratislava earlier this week I came across this interesting reflection. A memorial for a destroyed Synagogue reflecting the image of St Martin's Cathedral... I found this to be a very interesting and inspiring Idea.
A couple of the pictures I took. Will make my way back there if a clearer day comes to try a few more different angles/aspects..

A afternoon walk through Devin reveals the beauty when manmade and natural intertwine..
