Self portrait - sysadmin

 

Self portrait - sysadmin

As I've said a few times, self portraits are quite forgiving as the subject usually does as they're told. This was taken at work one late summer afternoon.

A smoke


Someone has a smoke on a cool autumn afternoon, photo taken with an iPhone.

Lonely row boat


Around five years ago, taken a few hours before this photo of a little frog and these two photos of my sister. Lake Bohinj in the early hours of the morning, a lonely boat in a sea of fog.

Turtle noir


A red-eared slider turtle, which is an invasive species originally from the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico but has spread all over the world. This one is very inquisitive and loves eating snails.

A glance


Trying out posting directly from my phone. This was taken half an hour ago, transferred directly from the camera to my phone via WiFi, quickly edited on the phone and uploaded. Sadly, only a thumbnail showed up on the front page, so I had to re-upload once I got behind a computer. Perhaps next time I'll get it right.

The view


Taken below the Grossglockner, facing south-east (that's the Stuedl Hut below on the right). This is very close to the spot which I took this photo two years ago (though this older photo is facing south).

Satisfaction


Satisfied after a day of climbing in the sunshine.

Hemi beast


I spotted this Dodge Ram 1500 (with a Hemi engine, no less) in San Francisco recently. For anyone from the US, this is obviously nothing special, but coming from Europe, we very rarely see a full-size pick-up such as this one.

Windy


Taken on top of London's Monument this spring. Gregor and I visited his sister for the weekend, and we did all of the usual touristy things one does when in London.

Paris Metro Station

This is my picture about Paris. A lot of empty foreign people. The picture is not black&white, just see the bottle next to the white chair. Metaforically of course. 
Paris is, sadly, pretty bad about a lot of stuff. And you have to look for the romance a few 10 kilometers out of the center. But don't get me wrong, Paris is a fantastic city with a great wibe, but definitely not a romantic one. One of my best pictures.

Lovely view


It was indeed. Taken not far below the Grossglockner in Austria.

To our greatest architect and all of my friends


One pigeon for each of you folks :) This is the church of the Sacred Hearth of Jesus in Prague you see in background, made by our greatest architect Jože Plečnik. It's blurry, because I was panning the birds. They really like this building, because at this place there are so many, that you can't find anywhere else in Prague, also sitting on the walls of this monumental church. The building is very heavy and light because of the clock tower at the same time. One of the most interesting looking post-modern churches for sure in my opinion. The facade is emulating coat of a priest and it doesn't really feel like it was finished almost 80 years ago.
The photo is converted to black and white, but I really didn't have to do it, because it was colorless already :)

The woman in red dress


Taken this summer in Spain on the streets of Granada. She was going to some wedding nearby, but the people loved her as you see. The dress is modified to a little graphical look (and not done very nicely) that some of you I know will find it terrible. It has to be like this :)

Badass


The photo speaks for itself :)

Break the lens with colors


As you can imagine, this shot was taken very close to the moving bowls and I was't able to be behind the camera, but I had to stand next to it, to control the centimeters separating my lens from the accident. It is a little difficult taking photos in that kind of conditions, because you don't really see what you are doing, but for me very enjoyable.

Quick!


I got lucky with this one - Peter (that's him on the photo) happened to move almost exactly the same as I did with my camera. This left him sharp, while the background is nicely blurred (though part of the blurring comes from using a fixed lens with a large aperture). I took this with a digital camera which I set for black and white. I usually prefer to shoot in colour and change to black and white later because it gives me more options, but sometimes you just want to keep things simple.

Cowboy


Another modern-day cowboy (though the first one had no horse). Like the previous one, this was also taken on black and white film.

I realise that we've slowed down with posting here, but we haven't been home much. I've got many photos from the past two months, and I'm sure Žiga does as well, so you can expect us to improve our tempo.

Cranes


These cranes stand directly across from the cafe where Žiga and I drink most of our coffee. With the right light, such as here, after a storm, they can be quite majestic. I took this on film, one of the first rolls I ever took with my old Konica.
