In Old Priluki– a suburban neighborhood of Vologda, there is a church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the banks of the Vologda River. It can be photographed both from the shore on which it stands and

There are some objects or themes for photography that can be explored in a variety of ways. Water lilies look good in the urban landscape as a foreground, but it was necessary to capture them separately

There are several stages in any graphic theme: probing the theme, warming up, and culminating. For example, I started photographing clouds just as a fact. And now I find different shapes in them. Hearts.

Abstract reflections in water are quite easy to shoot, but the most difficult thing is to find colored objects that will be reflected! In this case, it was the flags on the boat. A certain angle and amplitude

For the second year in a row, water lilies on the Vologda River have been stealing my attention. This time I took pictures not only in the usual places, but also looked into a couple of new ones. And I

It turned out to be incredibly difficult to capture these ultra-fast birds in the frame. But I did, although a lot of takes were made. Swifts flew in flocks over the temple in Totma. It's not the first

The best moments in life are when you have the opportunity to walk in some quiet and beautiful place at a slow pace, not for the sake of photos, but for the sake of sensations! I manage to visit such places

It's been a very strange and long time switching to another creative wave this year for me. It's like I'm standing in one place and I can't fully engage in something mystical and spiritual. The street

Finally, I've started to get my ideas across! I discovered the moonrise point above the Oktyabrsky Bridge last year, but I couldn't execute it well enough the first time. Of course, I got decent shots

This year, I missed all the manifestations of silver clouds... I even saw some of them with my own eyes from the window of the house, but while I was about to, they disappeared. With silver clouds can

I continue to study photographically different types of clouds. This time, high-cumulus (altocumulus) clouds caught my attention. By characteristic– these are clouds consisting of flakes or ridges that

There is less and less desire to photograph all kinds of blooms, although they have not ended yet. The most significant ones have long passed at the beginning of summer, and everything else is taken for

For many years of working as a photojournalist in the Vologda region, I visited the island of Spas-Kamenny, which is located in Kubensky Lake, for the first time. I will not describe the history, I will

Kukoboy is a village in the Yaroslavl Region, located on the Ukhtoma River. I have dugouts marked on the map in Kukoboy, but I did not go to get them, but to look at the most beautiful temple. The Church

It was another hunt for new and non-standard camera angles. You often have to brainstorm or just walk around, looking for new points to shoot. But sometimes you can see something new from familiar places.

I have known this angle for a long time, but I remembered it again only recently. About three years ago I was photographing the courtyards here at night and captured a view of St. Sophia Cathedral from

I really like statistics and, of course, I watch them on social media. Every year I look at which publication gets the most views and reviews. This year, the Spaso-Prilutsky Monastery, disappearing into

I haven't shot at extra-long exposures in the daytime for probably six or even seven years. I decided to remember how it's done. Besides, I've never photographed Vologda like this before. For long exposures

For a very long time I have been waiting for the moment when my favorite state of "before a thunderstorm" will come! And so it happened in the village of Kopylovo, Syamzhensky district, Vologda

The village of Filinskaya is located in the Syamzhensky district of the Vologda region. This place with dugouts is on my list of places that I was going to visit in the near future. But I visited ahead
