Greetings, weekend bees! :)
As a continuation to my travel story (@lightcaptured/the-spiritual-pearl-of-the-northwest) I would love to share with you today ten new photos from that glorious and beautiful travel to the amazing Klisurski Monastery in Northwestern Bulgaria. What's special about it was the fact that I was traveling only with photography lovers, all tiers, hehehe, from absolute beginners to absolute professionals. THe conversational topics were different but we've been always getting back to our favorite photography at some point.
There are some pros and cons to that, as you may expect. It is hard to see something interesting and expect to make the very unique shot in the world and suppose nobody else with have it. But that probably is the only cons, the rest is pros and history :)
For instance, it is very, very hard, let's say virtually impossible to enter an Orthodox Christian church or monastery in Bulgaria by yourself alone and take many photos with those "huge black professional" cameras. What about a tripod? Don't even think about it. Yet when you travel in packs and moreover have an agreement with the church people in advance, then it's a different story. Check out the last photo in the post to see what I mean :)
Let's cut to the chase now :)
For those two indoor long-exposure images, I've used my tripod in their amazing icon-workshop:
Lots of vivid colors there indeed:
Also a lot to observe and visually "freeze" if you have the time and desire to sit and let time pass around you:
The tripod in action again, 10 seconds self-timer and click, the group portrait is ready, all the photography lovers in it, myself included :)))
