Focus On Imaging 2013

The destination of the interest for the very beginning of March was quite diverse from simply travelling: this time it was a professional one with visiting the largest European annual event of its kind, and the biggest imaging show in the UK, Focus on Imaging. 

The photography show was really worthy to visit. On over 20,000 sq.m. location the National Exhibition Centre gathered plenty photographers, cameras, post-production companies, workshops and models. Some focus my attention was made on the last two.

This photo of the collection of old-fashioned photo cameras is made in light antique split tone to highlight the collection of the old-fashioned cameras standing out among the latest technologies in the photography industry.


The stand with wireless equipment Pro-Light is something that the very first cameras were not dreaming about. It was hard to resist to put the trigger on and try the difference of shooting with off-flash and with just the ISO high. A beautiful model Karcia was much in help.



Photo taken with the off-flash wireless light (above), and without (below)


As some more outcomes of the workshops visited are on the way, some of the working photos are ready to go.

Fotoble.com

It has been long time since anything was written here. No excuses but so much was happening around, and all that much was just so fantastic. To be short, among others our new web-site was created, and hence time was spent on the ideas, conceptions, and all that juicy stuff.

While the initial way was looking like investing some indefinite time into structuring, site creating, filling and so not, my dearest friend and the biggest fan of the talents Julia has discovered a just-born web-site, liked it and shared. And the likes began. Now, no way back!

So our very new born baby:

and it was said that the baby is very cute!

Chinese New Year 2013 in London

It is February, and it has started with the celebration of the Year of Snake, Chinese style, or simply 農曆新年. London China Town looks all ready for celebrations.


And so does the London weather.


The view of Gerard Street, China Town.



Dragons dancing over the festives are believed to bring luck to the businesses. Terrifying, loud and rythmic, dragong dancing is a part of the tradition, and very welcomed by the crowed packing all the space around.


The dragon tries to approach the restaurant jumping up, roaring and showing its evil side.


This dragon was well expected by the Chinese Chef.


Met with the restaurant delegation, and finally surrendered.


London at its best. The festival on Trafalgar Square goes rain or more rain.


Lunar New Year Trafalgar style: lanterns, Trafalgar fountains and ocean of umbrellas.

A must attribute for the Chinese celebrations.




The festival brought some of interesting characters.


Including other lunar year animals.
