So I decided to grab the winters tail and shoot one more session this winter. It was a sunny day 15:30, the sun was setting down, and we stopped not far from a TV tower and made our photo shoot.
So what did I learn from that session.
Once again, don’t make photo sessions when it’s cold and windy. Your brain freezes along with your body and you can’t think straight.
After a new year there was a contest on a local forum that I read, it called “Consequences of a New Year”. I need to make a picture in a humored manner, so I decided to focus on a calendar date 2 of January. In the end the contest failed, cause only 2 works had been sent. But still I’m glad I had that motivation to make some interesting shots, I’ve never done before.
This week I made one couple shoot. It was -10 outside and we were able to work only for 1 hour so I didn’t get as much pictures I wanted. I hope when the weather will become warmer we will continue this photo shoot with them.
Today I spontaneously decided to write some things I learned after each shoot, cause there is always something new in every photo session.
Now what did we learn ?
I learned that I’ll think twice next time I want to shoot outside when there is ten degree below zero.
Today I want to post my first winter photo session. I started with my wife, we went to the forest not far from out house and made a short 40 min photo shoot, it was very cold outside -10 C° so we freezed after first 10 min shooting. So anyway let’s check out the photos I made. Also you can see the full winter photo session set.

Today I found out that www.yousaytoo.com is performing a new contest, holiday dream gift, all you need to do is write what I want for Christmas is I had a $1000, and maybe if I’ll win yousaytoo will buy me this thing. So let’s begin !
The gift of me dreams is to have a new lens for my Nikon D80 DSLR. I want a Nikon AF 80-200 mm F/2.8 D ED, this is a great lens, but I can’t afford it. If I had this lens I’d have more opportunities to improve my photo skills, and a great inspiration to create new more interesting photos.
So I hope that I’ll win this contest, and will receive my dream gift.
You also can participate in this contest just add your existing blog to www.yousaytoo.com and write a post what is your dream gift and tag it with “yousaytoo awards” tag. Good luck !
I never thought about shooting a video, especially on a DSLR. But suddenly one day I had this strange idea to make a zombie movie on a DSLR, don’t know how it came to me but I liked it, so I told the idea to my friend and he didn’t think long and told me -”what the hell, lets do this !”. So we wrote the script, chose the actors and went shooting. It took us 3 hours of shooting, 1500 photos, 6-7 hours of montage and the film was created.
So behold !
Today I was shooting my friend and his girlfriend, he asked me for a shoot for a half a year maybe and now it happened. It was the first time I shot a couple, and I liked the results. We shot at 3 different locations for 2 or maybe 2,5 hours. I really had a good time and got some good pictures.
Last Saturday was a good sunny/cloudy weather and we decided to go shooting, while the trees still have their beautiful yellow and brown leaves.
