New pic from the Archive: The two girls, walking in a field of gold

The Archive is a series of older photos involving some degree of nudity. All the pictures are taken a few years ago, but were not published to the blog (most of them were not published before at all), thus the name of the series.

Color explosion

This was pretty much the climax of the color show, the moment when everybody in the audience released into the air his bag of paint powder.

Archive: Wet

I'm opening the Archive, a series of photos involving some nudity. As the name implies, they are quite old, since most of them were made I upgraded my gear a couple of times and, hopefully, grew as a photographer in the mean time. Still, those pictures were not published on any of my blogs before and the editing is new.

Pseudo-Holi

The Holi festival in India is spectacular, no wonder there are copycat attempts, like The Color Run which had the first Romanian edition in Bucharest. But those can't use the original religious theme of Holi, so they have to use something else, like a 5 kilometers run followed by a party. Still, the paint and get together are kept.

To D or not to D

There are some dices, there is a dragon and the light is not unlike from a dungeon.

Kiss in the snow

Actually that is not real snow, just some fuzz failing from the trees, but the kiss is genuine.

Lupișor's Easter

Lupișor is a fierce wolf, so no doubt he is spending the Easter enjoying the tender lamb meat

Little lamb

Easter is the holiday of the lamb? Or is it of the rabbit? One gets the knife, the other bring the chocolate.

Jumping in the rain

I remember a Mythbusters episode where they proved false the theory you get less wet if running in the rain.

Sprinkler

I found this cute toy while preparing the lights for a commercial (food) shooting and used it as a stand-in until everything was set.

Havoc wreaker

The poor pigeons, they were sitting and doing nothing. Probably a bit of exercising is good for their health.

Editing a bit of drama

Not having anything planned, I didn't carry a tripod with me, so here is how I made it: the singe RAW (.cr2) image opened with UFRaw (the GIMP plugin version) and saved as 3 JPEGs: -1, 0 and +1 exposure. JPEGs imported in Luminance HDR and assembled as not a very obvious HDR, edit levels for more drama and export as one JPEG. Some final tweaks with GIMP and the result is this.

Reflections on a car show

I pondered for a while, the car shows are not what they used to be, every year they are less attractive for the photographer (no, is not just me growing-up as a photographer). Still, the places are roamed my more and more people with powerful cameras.
