Today, my mother left Cyprus. She was here since 27th of August. We had lots of fun. Next time she will come to help with the baby sometime around February-March.
I have made few pictures in the Larnaca airport. The results are here.
Category: Photography
I love photography. For me, it’s like painting, but better. And more accurate. And unlike painting, I can actually participate. I am not a big success or great master by any means. But I enjoy taking pictures. I also enjoy looking at other people work and sometimes sharing it. When I do, this is the category that I use.
Picture of the day
Today is the second day of my “Shoot at least one picture every day” project-experiment. It was easy, since I went for a trip to Foini and Kouris. I have selected 3 pictures for today’s folder in POTD. Check them out here.
Trip to Foini
Today, Hazard, my mother, Alex, Olga, and I went for the trip to mountains. First, we stopped in Foini tavern for some excellent food. Than we had a walk around the village. On the way back to Limassol, we stopped at Kouris lake to check the water level and the way the church looks.
I made a lot of pictures, which are available here. I was tricked by the sun few times, since it was pretty hard with harsh shadows, although it was past 4:00pm. Also, the lens hood didn’t seem to help in all the situations that I expected it to. Anyway, some pictures are pretty cool and I am more-or-less satisfied.
Picture of the day
As I am getting more and more interested in photography, I get more and more practice. At first, having albums dedicated to certain events was very convenient for me. These days, I always carry a camera with me and sometimes I have just one or two shots which don’t fit into the album vision. For that reason, I have decided to create a special album for such shots – ‘Picture of the day’ (or POTD).
Many books and websites recommend beginning photographers to shoot at least one picture every day. This helps to develop an eye for opportunities. I think that now I am ready to try this project. I hope that I will have at least one picture every day. Sometimes it will be more. Today, for example, I have three.
Let’s see how long I will last. :)

Margot Quan Knight photography website was the one that impressed me today. Check it out. I especially recommend ‘fabrica’ series. Great ideas and excellent execution.
