Portraits, Costumes And Abandoned Structures

Today I'd like to show you the rest of the photos I took at the latest photography exhibition I visited. If you've missed the first batch of photos, you can check them here. It was a very interesting one (all are by the way), where you can learn quite a lot, if you're into photography. You can get new ideas about topics, techniques and so on. Each exhibition is different as you see photos from different photographers, and in the same time you see the world through their eyes, you see what they considered important to capture and how.

Looking Out

This was a photo I liked the most, or maybe one of my favorites, if you like. I don't know if it was spontaneous or staged, but either way, it's brilliant. The two kids looking out of the window, the framing ... just perfect. I hope one day I can take such a photo. It's not the first such photo I see at an exhibition, so the idea is common, but the execution makes the difference.

Antonia

Antonia got me into trouble as this was the only angle I could take a half decent photo. It's quite frustrating to deal with glare and reflection at every single exhibition, but the good news is, for the first time this year I have seen a solution that solves the problem. It's a cover that does not reflect the light. Don't ask me what it is as I don't know specs, but it was a huge relief to see something has been done in this regard. Most likely it's not cheap and will take some time to see it at every exhibition, but it's coming.

Looking Out

Old and abandoned buildings has always been the favorite place of photographers for all kinds of photo shoots. Some like to highlight the difference between a ruined surrounding and an elegant model, others prefer to dress their model more casual. It depends on the vision.

Andreea

Waiting

Bride

This was a wonderful shot from every point of view, even though the reflection made it kind of impossible to take a decent photo. I love the folk costume, which is essential to keep the tradition going. Look at the look and the smile on the bride's face. The angle is also great, although me taking the photo from the side makes it a bit difficult to see it right.

Happy

These portraits will be less and less, because people like the gentleman on the photo are hard to find and people don't really like to model for the camera, so this photo is really valuable in my eyes. It reflects a lot of emotions and it's genuine. No fake smile, not posing for the camera as you see these days. The gentleman just being himself.

Youth

Another beautiful photo of a young girl wearing a lovely folk costumes. These costumes are like trophies in my eyes as are a lot more valuable as people think. There's a lot of work behind every piece, there's the tradition too and the fact that you only wear these for special occasions, makes them more valuable. I love how the photographer chose a dark background, to make the costume highlighted.

Frecce

Frecce Tricolori is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. Demonstration move captured nicely.

Rugged and Smooth

Not my favorite scene, I don't like long exposure soft flowing water, but the photo is excellent, I must admit that. Maybe one day I'm going to experiment with such settings, but I'm more drawn to light, rather than water. Regardless, look at the beauty of those layered rocks, the colors and how the water is rushing down. Amazing.

Protector Of The Realm

This is more like my cup of tea. It's a lovely scene captured from a very good angle. I can't decide if it's a drone photo or not, but it doesn't matter. It's beautiful.

HNY

This is a scene I would choose over any other for several reasons. Untouched snow is always valuable in the eyes of a photographer, as it means you're first, the explorer, as no one else has been there before. This scene is interesting because it is up on the top of a cliff and the light purple light is an extra to all this.
