Going Larger
“The best camera is the one that you have with you.” Don’t know who said it but I like it a lot. Hence I always carry my best camera. So I did this past weekend when I went to Geneva to see Ota and his lovely family. The side purpose was to test my new [...]
Photo of the Week – May 29, 2011
Ice and Sea No. 3 This is one of the few photographs I took on Iceland, during my second trip in summer 2010, where luck played bigger role than precise preparation. There is very special thing about long exposures, you never know what the result will look like until you really see the final photograph. [...]
Lee Big Stopper
In this post I would like to share my personal experience with Lee Big Stopper ND filter, rather that provide full technical review, which you might be used to from other websites. I have been experimenting with Long Exposure techniques for couple of years. I started with just three EV stop full ND filter, [...]
…Let It Snow (Continued).
I took this image on our first trip to Lofoten in January. It was well after sunset and some 100+ kilometers ahead of us to Svolaer. We were returning from the place called Å, the tiny village situated endmost in the Lofoten islands. We scouted for locations to return to on our next trip as we [...]
Photo of the Week – May 20, 2011
The photograph for this week was created about a year ago when we were shooting our book 15 Treasures of Slovakia (you can browse through it online here: http://www.lightharmony.com/treasures). Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians were added on the UNESCO World Natural Heritages list on long ago, in 2007. You can find them in the very [...]
Joe Cornish – A Photographer at Work
I’m sure I’m not gonna surprise many of you nor I’m gonna be very original when I say that Joe Cornish is one of the few photographers that I have been looking at in search for inspiration for the past few years. I’ve been a happy owner of couple of Joe’s books with The First [...]
Photo of the Week – May 12, 2011
Skogafoss at Night Skogafoss is one of the most beautiful waterfalls on Iceland and also one of the most visited and photographed spots in the country. When we saw how many people are observing the waterfall during the day we decided to avoid the crowds and come at night, which fortunately never gets too dark [...]
Iceland – Video
In this presentation you can see selection of my photographs I have taken on Iceland during two visits in this spectacular place. The first visit took place in summer 2009 and I had not particularly strong idea where to go and how to photograph Icelandic landscape. However, after the first arctic summer night I was [...]
Let It Snow…
As I’m slowly processing my shots from Norway, some look really odd and different from what I usually appreciate because of lighting conditions. I simply was not too lucky this time. But having been there with no other agenda, after a little while I got excited about thinking of how to deal and experiment with [...]
Lofoten Dream – Part 1
The whole story started as usual. Marek called me in early November 2010 and ask me: “would you like to go to Lofoten?”. Since, this location was always on my travel agenda, I didn’t have to think twice to agree. We immediately started to plan what is the best time to go, and we kind [...]
Shooting Northern Lights
Some of you might have seen this picture already on lightharmony or facebook but I can find no better to kick off the Photo of the Week category than this one. It’s the result of the most exciting photographic adventures I have gone through this year and perhaps ever. I’ve been dreaming to witness the [...]
Michael Kenna – Photo Exhibitions
I would call myself a lucky man, since I have had a chance to visit two of Michael Kenna’s exhibitions during the last six months. The first exhibition took place in Amsterdam in November 2010 and my wife had actually organized the whole trip for me (including personal meeting with Michael) as an early X-Mas [...]
Notes from Iceland I.
If you’re flying to Iceland one day, it’s likely you’ll take Icelandair because there’s not too many services that connect Reykjavik with the continental Europe. In such case, don’t miss your chances to browse though the on-board entertainment options and listen to the Icelandic music (not talking about folk, which I avoided by miles). Apart [...]
