BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: AFTER AND BEFORE Y1-05

Regular visitors to my blog know that once a month on a Sunday (usually the last one in a month) I post a combined photo challenge theme for Black&White Sunday. It is called AFTER and BEFORE and it invites you to post the same  image both in black and white and in colour. The topic and subject are entirely arbitrary. The only condition is that…

BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-04

Traces of the Past is a recurrent photo challenge theme on this blog, which runs every month (for a third year now). This month we are doing it in black and white and next month this theme will be tackled in colour. You are free to choose whatever thing, building or place (even a person) that belongs to the past. It maybe a past long…

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.  

BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: ON TOP

In an area of 49,000 square kilometres at the historic crossroads of cultures, religions and conquerors, Slovakia boasts more than 300 old castles and ruins. The castle in the photo bears the name Hrad Beckov and stands proudly on the Beckov cliff on the road that runs from Bratislava to High Tatra mountains. Many legends are told about the place, but nobody really knows…

Black & White Sunday: Rural Photography

When approaching rural photography you may think of it as rural landscapes (which is perfectly fine) or you can capture something (or some place) that has to do with a rural lifestyle. Your photos do not need to show what life used to be in the past (which is the case with my photo of a reconstructed Iron Age Celtic farmstead captured in Slovakia at…

Thursday’s Special: Organised Noise

Tobias M. Shiel today’s guest and photo challenger at Lost in Translation invited us to apply the concept of organised noise to photography. In his inspiring post, Tobias elaborates the idea and gives us some very useful pointers as to how to approach this theme. Here is my response:       Please join Tobias with this challenging theme and leave links and tags…

Black and White Sunday: Sculpture

Break it down in the world of secrets   My example for today’s sculpture theme is an alchemist sitting at the doorstep of a cafe in Bratislava. He was at the point of explaining one of his theories while I was passing by. Follow my lead, if you will, and post a photo(s) of a sculpture in black and white. Do it today or over…

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past 02

Standing on a 200 m high dolomite rock at the elevation of 634 m in the Spiš region of Slovakia Spiš castle (Spišský hrad) is one of the biggest European castles whose land area covers 41,426 m². First built in the 12th century in Romanesque style at the site of an earlier hrad (hrad is Slovakian word for castle), Spiš Castle was the political, administrative, economic and…
