Shooting my friends…
…would be pretty gory, so instead this post is about capturing the light they reflect. :-)
Most of you have probably already seen these, but they never made a blogpost, and as it’s the exam period, I have way too much time on my hands, so now’s the time. :-D
These photos are from three rather nice sessions — the Bryndza session, SlavCon, and Grill session. Many thanks to Kubo for organizing the two, they were most enjoyable.
I took a lot of photos those days, so they each made a separate gallery:
And here comes a handful of rather random picks, that link to the galleries as well…
Leftovers from Chicago
As I haven’t been shooting much recently and my last photo-post was a long time ago, I dug out some of the older street shots from one of the first days with my brand new camera.
The skating ring
Trying to figure out how to spend a free Friday, I went to check out the freshly set-up open air ice-skating ring at the Millennium park. Needless to say, my heavy artillery couldn’t be left behind. I have shot a lot of pictures, some of which will be presented later, under a more appropriate topic.

Good jazz and picture-taking…
…at the same time? What more could a guy wish for? (I will leave the few inappropriate suggestions to myself. :-P)
Few places in the world have better jazz clubs, than Chicago. Around a week ago, we’ve decided to give one of them a try. It wasn’t the first one and definitely not the last one, but it was the most enjoyable so far. The musicians were very skilled and played nice jazz with a distinct Hispanic flavour.

Portrait test run
It’s been ten days since the last time my dearest readers had a chance to bask in the fresh glow of my amazing posts, and as this weekend is mostly free, save compulsory events such as Nightwish concert, I have decided to spam around a little. ;-)
Precisely two weeks ago, with one of the people I know here, a Tibetan student of international law, we have decided to try and shoot a few outdoor portraits. My longer lens seems to be very nicely up to this job, although I am still a far cry from achieving perfection with it. On the lighter note, I learn something new every time I take it out for a shoot.
