lau — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:28:19 +0000

Every weekend I took the train with my friends and we went visiting a near town.

First week we went to Hannover. Here I was amazed about the differences between new and old architecture. The colorful old town-hall next to a full glass building.

Here are some photos from both new and old Hannover. More photos later.

Hello dear readers.

My new Job brought me for more than a month in Germany. Here I used every free hour to take pictures that would feed my memories later, but I also took pictures that I want you to see and enjoy the places I visited.

First of all, I spent my nights at Hotel Kronprinz in Bad Salzdetfurt (it’s a small village near Hannover, in Niedersachsen).

Here are some pictures of this friendly village.

How to Photograph Christmas Decorations

lau — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:30:03 +0000

Every photographer, from amateur to professional, will take pictures of Christmas Decorations because these are beautiful, eye catching, and most of all, memorable.
From the view of the entire Christmas tree, to close-ups on simple and sophisticated decorations, it’s all sparkle and lovely. For the shots, remember to have a tripod and a remote controller.
For the first Christmas tree picture, my friend Tudor used flash (with -2 exposure) in rear mode, in low light. Picture was taken in “Program” mode.
The second Christmas tree picture has +3 exposure, no flash, and low light environment. Longer exposure time in this case: 20 sec.. Picture was taken in “Shutter Mode”.

The white balance in case of such photographs is better set to “auto” since the colors from the lights differ from the environmental light and other lights coming from nearby. After all, the multitude of colorful lights is what makes Christmas beautiful.
Now let’s see the close-ups: the most simple setting scheme is: “Program” Mode, rear flash, adjusted exposure (differs from scene to scene), tripod and remote control or 2 seconds shutter delay. For brighter scenes you can put the flash off and increase ISO.

On most of the photos, on post-processing, I added a warm filter to make the tree have a yellowish green, and to make the red color stronger.

Rural Photography Documentary

lau — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 20:52:02 +0000

To promote rural tourism, in Romania, many photographers go from village to village to take pictures of local habits and activities, local activities and clothes, objects, houses.
During the late summer of 2008, I choose to go in a wonderful village in the Apuseni Mountains on a specific day: the first day of the “Love Festival”, on the “Chiken Mountain Pick”.
I wanted to keep distance from people in order to capture instants of their live, not well prepared portraits. In order to do so, I used a tele-ob.: Tamron 70-300 mm.
Here I show you an old man playing a local musical instrument.

This is an instant portrait of on old lady covering her eyes from the burning sun.

Children are dancing on local music.

Since it was the “love festival”, here’s a portrait of the girl who won the contest for “perfect marriage country girl”.

Here is how the houses looked like in the old times in this area of my Country.

On the same topic, I have some older photos to illustrate the Romanian traditions.
