Trip to England

In December 2007 I spent few beautiful days in small town in England. The town is called Tunbridge Wells and it’s really nice small town.

I traveled there because my best friend moved there for a job and because she is there few months already, I decided to go to visit her. Her name is Kaja and she is helping me with prepairing my cat’s websites. And because she is in England now the launching of the websites will be slower. But for sure one day we will launch it. I look forward so much for it.. I will inform you about everything.
England is beautiful country with many things to see but unfortunatelly I didn‘t have a time to see a lot, so I already plan my next trip there.
I really enjoyed the time I spent with her and I hope she will come back home soon. Home sweet home and cats are waiting… :-)

The Courses of the Photography

13 PHOTOS

IDIF – Digital Photography Institute – Prague

It may appear that I only love staying in front of a camera, but it is not truth. Taking a pictures is my big hobby for a long time too. Most ofthen I shoot cats, cats and again cats, then dogs and also music concerts, kids, nature, cities etc… Its our big collective hobby together with my dad, what has a lot of advantages. I am happy for that, because we can share knowledges and experience. We enjoy it very much and because of this same hobby we are also together more. One of another advantage is that we can share our equipment because I persuaded him to buy the same mark of equipment (Canon) as I have.

In fact I had already attended three courses, Portrait Photography, Mastership in working with DSLR and Elementals of Advertising Photography. Each course was special. Each course was great. The course Portrait Photography was specialized to portrait photography and also for basic knowledges in working with camera. The second course Mastership in working with DSLR was really good. This course was specialized more deep and I learned more about technical aspects of the camera. I liked this course very much, because also after my father I am very technically oriented. :-) And the third course Advertising photography was about how to shoot different products and we practise a lot how to work with and to set the studio lightnings. More info about courses and a lot more on http://www.idif.cz/.

I was very proud about my dad, he knew an answer for every, even difficult technical question of the lectors. All attenders were surprised. Taking pictures is dad’s hobby from his teenage.

We are looking forward to another courses that we will visit together again soon…

Greece - Naxos Island

41 PHOTOS

This summer I visited beautiful Greek island Naxos. I had visited Greece several times already and was really impressed again this time.

I spent a beautiful week there full of sun, sea and photo sessions. It was just in time of high temperatures in whole European region so you can imagine how hot there was. Photo sessions took place on the beach, in the sea and in many interesting places. The Island has a lot of different and very beautiful places to shoot. You can see those sets online soon. Thanks RH photo for his work. It was a nice work.

As usual I was very happy seeing any animals as you can see in pictures below. One very sweet cat came to me during one dinner. I gave her little bit of my chicken. :-) She was one from those happy animals that it was taken care of her in a good way.
But not all animals have great life like this cat. Due to extreme temperatures must animals * “fight” to survive *. Almost everytime they don’t have any porch which would protect them against the hot sun. But much bigger problem is that they often doesn’t have any water. Check the picture with a donkey. He had a porch to last out this hot weather. He was another one of those happy animals. I totally fell in love with him. He was so cute and fawning. When I wanted to leave him he started to give off strange sounds. He was trying to call me back. It was like if he was crying. I was sorrow of him and realised how tight relation can exist among people and animals and how such animal can also yen for human attention and love..

So I please you using this way. If there is a way you could help animals, do it. I am talking here about it because I saw more worse cases. I even saw how one man drove motorbike in a seriously fast speed with horse chained up behind it.
Our society is defined also on how people are able to take care of animals and other species. Not only we live on this planet. We should respect animals.
