Also, while I was at it, I figured I’d start a new mini-series – movie-themed, as I eventually made up my mind.
But enough chit-chat. Without further ado… Cinematography – Episode 1:

Moving on…

Shockingly indeed, I’ve given up on my initial plan to keep the matter of the Eurotrip in a decently chronological order, so here you go – the marina and maritime museum of Gdansk. Also, I’ll probably take a brief Eurotrip break starting next week, assuming my hiking trip will be photographically successful.

So maybe this once, it’ll just be the photo:

Apparently I’m continuing the black and white streak with another oldie from Bulgaria, reminding me just how much I miss the sea. Hell, how much I miss being on holiday… anywhere. Either way – boats on a break:

In other news (wow, a lot of “other news” lately), I’m seriously considering a major make-over, along with moving to WordPress, since Blogger is becoming quite limiting, so if anyone has any wisdom to impart in that area, don’t hesitate to hit the comments button. Oh, and thanks a bunch to whomever took the time to vote for my entry in the Photo Friday Challenge!

This was taken in the tiny seaside resort of Balchik, Bulgaria, the day after New Year’s. The entire day was unbelievably warm and sunny, and I especially liked the warm sunset light flooding this empty terrace.

Yes, my darling audience (do I have such a thing?), I return humble and apologetic after having gone A.W.O.L. for the past few days, due to circumstances beyond my control. Homework and exams, to be precise. Not that I would right now be in the clear, but I reserve myself the luxury of not working on Friday evening.

Have I brought any goodies, you ask? Hard to say, considering my camera is more or less in a state of hibernation these days, but fear not, I shall make up for it yet. In the meantime, I allow myself another moment to reminisce about my lovely lovely vacation this summer. And after all, what better defines a novice photographer’s portfolio than the mandatory cliche sunrise/sunset?

Consider this my two cents on the matter, and accept my sincerest apologies. It won’t happen again.

As such, these should be viewed as no more than simple exercises with a distinct objective.

And my self-assigned homework for today is going to be…

…drumroll…

A Study In Tone

Photography Blog, macro, rope, sea, waves, blue

This photo came to be as a result of sheer boredom and a bad white balance setting, but as a novice, I have made peace with the thought that for now, I’m more likely to do something right by mistake than by intention. This only seemed to confirm the prospect. At any rate, I happened to be somewhat fond of this photo and I figured I’d make the best of it – excessive as it may be, the blue sets a bit of a nostalgic tone that I find rather pleasing. And I have to say I was quite proud of my camera for the distinctiveness of each fiber composing the rope in the close-up part of the photo. But then again, what do I know?

I would (very politely) ask for some feedback from my readers, but as of yet I’m not even sure Google has indexed my humble little corner of the web. For all I know, I could be talking to myself here.

But no matter, the show must go on…
So tune in next week, for a study in texture (or whatever else I may find interesting at the time).

P.S. I keep forgetting to mention this – if you want to, you can click the photo to view it in full size.
