Urban Legends
Few shots from my urban explorations taken last week or so at random locations around Manchester.
London Christmas Lights
On Sunday 15 November, the inauguration of Timeless Elegance, new Christmas Lights design by ATC Lighting Design was organized at the iconic street of the British capital, Regent Street. The Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Dodd, played a musical piece by Pierre Mussche from Musicom, composed specially for the occasion. Grand opening was followed by a party held at Lights of Soho gallery. Clearly, this event was all about the lights!Read more
dreamlands
When gloomy and rainy days arrives to Manchester. Time comes to revisit summer shots and perhaps fish out an image worth some attention. I've started my search from photos taken during hikes in Tatra Mountains. After short while I found candidate that had really boring, cloudless sky. Everything else about this shot was quite appealing so I had starting point into new composite. First move was to replace sky with better one from my stock collection that I intensely trying to build every time weather present a chance for it. Lighting, colours and tones on the foreground were very similar therefore I had easy job matching it with my new sky. While working on first photograph idea for second one was born. I end up with two completely new landscapes never seen before by anyone. Dreamlands created by photoshop and imagination.
Composites enables me to create anything I can dream of, giving me limitless possibility's to make something from nothing. Nowadays when I take photo I don't ask myself that it is... But what could it be.
Home town trip
Rzeszow, fairly large city in south east Poland where my story began 32 years ago when I opened my eyes to see beauty of this world for first time. It is a place where I met best friends, place that I explored thoroughly, place where I found my love... It is also place I left behind to seek better days...
Photos of foggy autumn night in Manchester
Fog. Atmospheric phenomenon of visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended near the surface of the ground. Drivers hates it, pilots despised it and children's are spooked by it. However, photographers loves it. And so do I. Therefore last evening when heavy fog descended upon city of Manchester and brought feeling of mystery to every street or alley around me I didn't hesitate a moment and went out shooting. Even tough wandering around alone in night like it might feel little spooky sometimes but it always brings me plenty of joy. Especially when I end up with least one photograph that I really like. Last night I also had few ideas how I could creatively use my speedlights . I could light up trees or other objects in order to create unique moods. I'll probably aim for Heaton Park since it's one of my favoured places and I have never done night photoshoot at this location before. Looking forward to another day to feel like mistborne again.
Blackpool Illuminations
Recently I visited Blackpool to check out its famous illuminations. I found it a bit cheesy but despite heavy wind I had good time nonetheless.
Dalamere forest walk
Last weekend I went for a short walk in Dalamere Forest. I took many photos but mostly for my stock archives witch I may use for future composites.
reflections and colors at Media City uk
Photos taken at media city area in Manchester. Nice place for anyone who likes photographing illuminations, architecture, bridges or water reflections as most of buildings are surrounded by water.
Caribbean festival
It took place in Alexandra Park few weeks ago but somehow I forgot about those photos. As they say better late then never...
