Five Minutes.

After work I was going to the park…as usual. Sometimes there are great subjects to take photographs of, sometimes is just great to walk. That day was a religious, national holiday, Boboteaza (.rom. Next post will about that) and I was heading to the cathedral. On my way I noticed a lonely guy on a bench. I liked the way he was dressed and his face. He also like to look at everybody and had a great silluette. After passing near him, I started to plan a point of view and to shoot some pictures. I went behind a tree, got my Tamron 70-300 mm, 4-5.6 and pressed the shutter. It was during 5 minutes, but at home looking at those images I realised that I captured more than usual 5 minutes. I see personality, interest and mistery in his behaviour.

A small project that includes this images you can find here: http://www.behance.net/johnroshka/Frame

I represented differences and the mood the images show after processing in comparison to the original state.

On the big car on the right it says: Piine, which mean Bread in Romanian.

Preparing

I found the answer to this question by looking at this image for couple of minutes. I liked the immensity of what people believe and the immensity of the power with which they are holding their believes. I took this several years ago on Kodak ProFoto 100 with a Pentax SFXn camera.

I just like it.

Enjoy.

Not many of you heard about our, Moldovan canyon. Yes, we have some of them, mainly small, but this one is really big. The river Raut has caved the limestone for centuries making this majestic beauty of nature. Many tribes representing many civilizations found home on this territory leaving it with ancient foundings, turkish baths and other moments full of history. This link will help to get into the atmosphere of the place.

Was working today at two images…actually one image but with two different outputs, color and black and white. First I was working a lot on the colored version until accidentaly tried the Black and White version….and it rocked, I liked them both and made 2 variations: color and black and white.

Check it out.

This is the color variant:
