Today I present to you one of the most ancient settlements in the Republic of Bulgaria - the village of Koprivshtitsa.
Many great Bulgarians were born in this place, such as: Todor Kableshkov / participant in the April Uprising and revolutionary /, Lyuben Karavelov / National hero, writer. poet, ethnographer and fighter for the liberation of Bulgaria from Turkish slavery /, Georgi Benkovski / revolutionary and main figure in the organization and leader of the April Uprising /, Dimcho Debelyanov / poet / and other.
The village of Koprivshtitsa is part of the 100 national tourist sites.
We reached the village with slight difficulties, because I had not studied that from the railway the station to the village itself is 10 kilometers away. With me was a good friend of mine / future photographer / who fortunately had no problem with walking long distances. All the way we wondered why they built the train line so far to a famous place like this... At the fourth kilometer, we decided that we wouldn't be able to make it before sunset, and I wanted to take pictures from the air. So I needed light. So we started waving our thumbs up hoping that a driver would give us a ride. After another two kilometers, an elderly man stopped with his wife. We asked the grandfather why the station is not located in the village. He replied that it was impossible to build a line because of a huge rock.
Hooray! We arrived on time and I immediately launched the drone from the village's central square. You can see that people here have kept most of the houses in their authentic form. At this time of the year there are only tourists on weekends. During the two hours we were there, we saw only 5 people.
On the way back, we found out that there was a bus that took passengers to the railway station. the station. It would have been great if we had known this information when arranging the trip. Maybe I should start writing more travelogues?!

WHY IS THE FUTURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY AT RISK?
While searching for an interesting photography article to read, I came across some extremely disturbing information. Some scientists designed a robot to shoot in a studio... That sounds about as absurd as pooping on the table I'm eating dinner at! The idea was for the robot to measure the most suitable light according to the specific photographic need and a bunch of other nonsense.
For the time being, the scientists were developing a robot only for closed rooms. Of course... It's still too early to have filming containers / robots / walking the streets. The funniest thing in the whole story seemed to me to be the name of the future "profession" - roboticist.
It is clear that someone has long wanted machines to replace man. I hope I'm not alive when the first robotics studio opens. Can you imagine a robot telling the model how to stand and what to do?
Wait, there's more...
These scientists are obviously too bored. Software has already been invented, through which the photographer simply takes pictures of some people, and then artificial intelligence changes the vision and the environment according to the respective needs. Yes, you got it right! We no longer need to wear waterproof shoes and thick clothes in nature to shoot a commercial shoot.
Ah, you thought photoshop was too advanced, huh?
If you have not yet understood the new robotics, now I will give a concrete example: You are a photographer. You are tasked with photographing a beautiful girl surfing in the sea. You don't even need a beautiful mannequin. You call three women from the building you live in to come into your living room while you drink your coffee. You take pictures of them, or if you have the money to buy a robot, it takes pictures of them, and then you put a few pictures into the program and artificial intelligence takes care of the rest. Goodbye expensive trips, scorching sun and sand on the lens.
Shit, I need to puke!
