Woman with cup of coffee

The idea of thi series came to me as a complete surprise. My wife was wearing a blouse of the same colour as the cup. I shot it and then we thought she could change the clothes and the cups, as we have several colours of both :) All of the colourful cups here.

Here we are:

Stitched panoramas

I am often asked how I make those panoramic shots. Well, there are various ways, you can try PS CS3 for that, they say it has significantly improved compared to CS2. There's a nice feature allowing you to export a panorama as a normal size photo which can be scrolled. A fine way to present panoramics online.

I recommend PTGUi software, it's highly intuitive and automatic. When you have good base photos, everything should go smoothly.

Motocross and quads series

Beautiful Sunday morning. My friends took me with them to some motocross riding. The seaside woods are just ideal for that.
I used two lenses for that, first, my new baby, 90mm 2.8 and wide Sigma 10-20 for more dramatic look.
There were also two quads, and because I produced quite a few shots of them, I decided to arrange them into a collection, here it is. All the photos from the series are in my Sports collection though.

A few examples:

Celebrating my 2000th download

Yup, I've made it! Or, it'd be better to say, the clients made me make it:) I have reached my 2000th download on Dreamstime! Time to celebrate! Or, maybe I should look around for another piece of gear? ;)

The lucky 2000th image was one which got downloaded for its first time, though it's been in my collection for quite a time.

"The sporting life" - Assignment

So, the deadline of another assignment on Dreamstime is getting closer. This time I posted two shots. If you have a Dreamstime account and you like my shots, you can vote for those two photos here. Thank you!

Bert Stephani's gear - movie

Bert Stephani, a photographer whom I have already mentioned here in my blog, has just posted an interesting film where he showcases his gear. It's the first part, cameras and lens gear. See below.

New series - metalworker

I grow to LOVE my k20d! Incredible camera! Together with my new Tamron 90 f2.8 lens it produces very pleasing effects. The quality of the images is great.

I produced the first series using this combination. It's called "Senior metalworker in his workshop". I played with the strobe a bit, for majority bouncing light against the ceiling, but I also used snoot and umbrella. All of the photos are available in People at work collection.

Here are just a few shots:
