JANUARY RECAP

Here is my recap for January 2017.   Reminder: there is a new Thursday’s Special challenge tomorrow with the theme: Pick a word.  

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: WINTRY

  Winter is harsh this year, and it seems to go on for ever. That’s why I decided to make wintry today’s challenge theme with apologies to those living in the Southern Hemisphere. The bellow photo was captured in a secluded Istrian village, at the very beginning of winter, when snow was still non-existent, but the chill could be felt in the air, and the…

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: UNFOCUSED

  If you are anything like me three years ago, you are going to curse today’s theme. Since then, however, I developed a liking for unfocused in photography. I became aware of how nice it is to have your main subject isolated by shallow depth of field, how to accentuate parts of images by selective focusing, how to make model-like scenes imitating tilt and shift…

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: 2016 RETROSPECTIVE

  It’s the time of year when we usually take stock of our life, hoping to make it better in some way and looking forward to the forthcoming year expecting it to bring solutions to our troubles. That’s what I did. I started by taking stock of my images in 2016. You know what they say “an image is worth a thousand words”. If…

NEW HORIZON

    This is my offering for weekly photo challenge and Jo’s Monday Walk.  P.S. This is the last post this week. I can’t seem to find time to post and to view my favourite blogs, so I will take a blog break till next Thursday (22 December). See Scheduled challenges for updates.  

Black & White Sunday: Traces of the Past Y2-08

Traces of the Past is a recurrent photo challenge theme on this blog. It runs monthly, one month in colour, the other in B&W. This month it is time for the Black and White Traces of the Past. I love my town, and the view bellow is very dear to me, despite the efforts of modern architects to ruin it. Traces of the past…

Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in December

  Here we have again the recurrent photo challenge theme: Pick a Word. As usual you have a possibility to choose between five different words, or do several or even all together (in one post). Here are my five examples for: aquatic protrusion echo amiable libation              I hope that this challenge has just the right amount of  “challenging” for…

Black & White Sunday: Expression

Hello everybody! Today you are asked to post a photo of an expression. We can talk about human expressions (emotional), or behavioural expressions in animal (those can be hilarious), or any kind of expression that comes to your mind. What you can see below is a part of the sculpture by the most famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović that I showcased before here.  …

Melancholy in October

Much like the Neapolitan fisherman cast in stone on the shores of Maksimir lake in Zagreb, I went through this October empty-handed and melancholic.     Some times of the year seasonal changes are more pronounced than in others. Head over to Cardinal Guzman’s monthly photo challenge to see how versatile they can be.
