Good to know you made it back to safety. I've had several experiences of this kind and all I could tell - thanks god it is over!

I think, the only rule in art (photography including) is - manifest yourself skillfully. The ultimate item of photography is to tell a story and photographer can use whatever tools he likes to emphasize

I'm kind of similar to you, very much connected to my computer. Yet, when I find myself in an computer-less environment, I get used really fast to it. We, humans, are so flexible with our universal minds...

Абсолютно роскошный свет! Поздравляю с прекрасными фотографиями.

Wish you a quick recovery!

Ни одной новой постройки, ничего. Послевоенные бараки и частный сектор. Регион вымирает?

Bro, those images are outstanding, the second one is a state of art indeed! Excellent work. Wish you a massive sales on stocks!

Результат получился просто замечательный! А иностранцы, читая про то что камеру было необходимo "prikopat", хорошенько почешут репу пытаясь понять этот глагол ;-)

Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful mountain winter! I do enjoy winter, however in Israel it is like a spring in Europe :)

Еще лет 10 и там не останется ни одной живой души...

Замечательная серия. Свежий снег, ночное освещение и мастерство фотографа придали сценам оттенок графического романтизма.

What a joy of looking out of window...

Like it! Can I ask how did you manage to use f/1.4 aperture at 1.8 lens? ;)

Impressive results, especially for 10 yards! It seems you practice regularly.

Well done Master! Your blog is the main reason I'm still visiting this platform. I enjoy the consistency of high quality works you publish. Not even a single lemon.

Yea... I used to carry M-16 and Galil assault rifles for long 3 years of my military service in Israel Defense Forces. Actually all those pictures of guys with sub-machine guns are of soldiers in leave.

Thanks for the detailed answer. Here, in Israel, we do not have the luxury of owning multiple weapons. Only one gun per person. I used to carry Glock 17 for long enough time to appreciate any weight saving.

A very nice new toy, but what was wrong with Glock? Too massive?

Weight vs versatility. I went other way by purchasing 70-200 f/4.

I like this image a lot. Can I ask why you picked 200mm fixed instead of 70-200? I guess it was due to weight saving?
