  • Long overdue update

    Recently (~2.5 years ago) me and my family moved to a village called Gadalin, where we more or less built a new house (long story), or should i say we are still building it.

    2016 dec 13 (the most recent decent photo i could find, not much has changed on the outside though)

    The skeleton of the house was built before we moved, but the interiors and exteriors were not, since then it’s been insulated on the exterior and me and my parents are working on finishing the interiors, which is about 80-90% done (we ran out of money). So because of that i had basically no time to work on this site, let alone have the time to take any pictures, ones worth sharing that is, because smartphone pictures of products from building centers I’ve got thousands.

    We still have fences and a garage/workshop to build, plus paving the courtyard. All this while still making money and gardening.

    So i might not post anything new for a few more years, when i do i will probably be redesigning this website, if i don’t abandon it in the mean time.

    It’s not like anyone reads any of this anyway.

  • Balea Lake (2012 May)

    These photos were taken on a 1 day trip to Balea Lake in the Carpathian mountains. It’s located on the Transfagarasan, which is a pretty famous road that cuts across the mountains, as you can tell by the first picture it’s famous for it’s corners, making it somewhat of a drivers paradise, make sure you watch the episode that Top Gear UK did on it.

    It was a very nice excursion even if it was pretty short, and i’m told we were very lucky to get such good weather.

    Just after i took this photo my camera started acting up and after wasting precious minutes i figured out that the problem was, the battery grip broke. Read more about that here.

    It’s interesting how different the lake looked from one minute to another.

    On the way home it was really hot in the minibus, the air conditioning was on but it was as effective as a mouse coughing on you, but at least we had a pretty nice dinner at Hanul din Ardeal (The Transylvanian Inn) and a brief but pretty sunset.

     

  • Gabriella Tamas – May 2012

    I sometimes do people photography too and Gabriella Tamas is my most willing model. Here are a few shots from the May 2012 photo shoot, in which she’s wearing a dress that she made.

    I only had the kit lens at the time (18-55 IS), so the perspectives aren’t the best and the background blur is … lacking.

  • Insects of 2012 Spring

    Here is the long overdue bug collection from this spring.

  • Saint George Days 2012 Photos

    Here are some of the pictures i took during this years Saint George town celebrations.

    There were a few colorful rides that made interesting pictures when exposed for a longer time.

    There were also fireworks marking the end of the week long celebration, they weren’t very spectacular, it’s a small town with an even smaller budget after all, but still worth photographing.

  • Spring flowers 2012

    Here are some of the flowers and plants i shot this spring, almost all were shot using my Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro

  • Set 9 – Lily

    Seeing as i sold my previous camera (my Panasonic FZ35/38), this will be the last set done with it.
    All future pictures will be done with my new Canon EOS 550D DSLR camera. (Until i upgrade again that is)

    This set is about Lily, the only pet i have right now, they were taken last year, mostly on my balcony, but some in my bedroom too.

  • Set 8 – Flowers 1

    Spring is almost here so i thought I’ll share some pictures of the prettiest flowers I’ve photographed over the last 2 years.

    As always your feedback is highly appreciated.

    Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.

  • Set 7 – Kittens 2

    Here is the second and last set of first pictures i took of Lily & Louie as kittens, mostly taken in the Winter of 2010.
    Most of these pictures were taken the first or second time they went outside, you can see the curiosity on their little faces, the rest are about their sleeping habits.

    As always your feedback is highly appreciated.

    Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia. – Joseph Wood Krutch

  • Set 6 – Kittens 1

    These are the first pictures i took of Lily & Louie, back then (in the Autumn of 2010) they were about 2 months old, very cute, very curious and very playful.
    Unfortunately i didn’t take a lot of pictures of them (had to go to work) and the ones i did i took later in the day even at night (that’s when i had time), so these pictures are not my best work.

    As always your feedback is highly appreciated.

    It’s impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more kittens. – Cynthia E. Varnado
