"a" for athens

First letter of the alphabet is "A" - and this is how I am opening my new project Alphabet. Let me welcome you to my new section I am very excited about! I love travelling and I do love street photography. So I will combine those two passions and as I will be visiting different cities in coming months and years, I plan to prepare a proper photo journal for each letter of the alphabet. One city, one letter...

First letter is represented by Athens in Greece. Nice Sunday trip back in February 2015. A lot of people on the street, beautiful scenery, great light. What else you can wish for a walk with your camera?





Prvé písmeno v abecede je "A" a takto aj otváram svoj nový projekt Abeceda. Dovoľte, aby som vás privítal v mojom novom oddelení, z ktorého mám naozaj radosť! Zbožňujem cestovanie a mám veľmi rád fotenie na uliciach (tzv. streetphoto žáner). Tak som sa rozhodol, že skombinujem tieto dve vášne do jedného celku - tak ako budem v nasledujúcich mesiacoch a rokoch cestovať po rôznych kútoch sveta. Mojím cieľom je nafotiť poriadny foto žurnál pre každé písmeno abecedy. Jedno mesto, jedno písmenko...

Prvé písmeno je zastúpené gréckymi Aténami. Veľmi príjemný nedeľný fotovýlet, ešte vo februári 2015. Kopec ľudí na uliciach, krásne mesto, skvelé svetlo. Čo iného by si človek mohol priať na prechádzku s fotoaparátom?

panoramic athens

One more return to my rich Athens folder. At the top of the small rocky hill, right across Acropolis (when they've kicked out tourists after 5pm), I've spent about two hours. You know, as usual. Playing. With flash, without flash, wide angle, street zoom. And - with FLW filter I have taken this panoramic shot. Made out of 8 vertical shots, each taken at f/8 @ 10 seconds. Enjoy by clicking and opening a bigger size.



PS: and one more extra bonus - different place, different time. I personally like a lot strong line elements here. And I've just changed white balance to tungsten to pop up street lights.
