fill the frame... see the face

I'm still getting back to pictures from a great session with Russian model Elena. Some of them I've already shared, but can't resist to keep few others just for myself.

singapore's colorful flyer

Even this picture has been shot two years ago, it's still one of my the most favorite.  For a several reasons. First of all, I felt in love with Singapore. If there would be an offer coming tomorrow to move there, I would be packing my whole family following day ;)
Secondly, this picture is a prove, that with a patience and determination, you can get what you want. And the last, but not least - a bit of luck always helps. In my case it was a navy brass band coming right  into my exposure with all their shiny trumpets, tubas, trombones...

OK, I owe you a bit of explanation... Follow me here.

workshopping - and for a great reason

My dear Monika came with a great idea. To offer a quick 4 hours workshop for a beginners who still dare to switch from a full automatic to a manual mode on their DSLRs. But the best part of this great idea was, that "fee" will be donated to somebody who needs it - little Danik would benefit out of it.

It took her only a few hours to fulfill 7 offered spots and during our stay in Prague we met on Saturday early morning with great and enthusiastic photographers. Not even a heavy rain stopped this short but intensive event to happen ;) And after a quick update on balance of  "the photography triangle" we were freezing action, implying motion, panning, zooming - and jumping (for a group photo).
