Lisbon (nov. 2009) – The one with the panoramas…

Yes, I`ve done it! Here they are. Not so impressive now that I got a good look at them but, hey, as long as they`re done I might as well post them.

These are all resizes to fit 1200px on the long side (that means that you can click on them for a slightly bigger version).

Lisbon (nov.2009) – Part Two (the outtakes)

As I said a long time ago, this entry`s purpose is to shine some light on some of the lesser photos of my Portugal trip.

Out of ~900 pictures (not counting the panoramas and the HDRs) I chose to show you 25, but there were ~60-70 pictures selected to tell the story.

I can`t post the remaining 40+ pictures but I think you can handle 10 more. (actually 9 decent ones and a dud!)

Enjoy.

(P.S. I`m trying as hard as I can to make room in my schedule to stitch those panoramas I`m blabbering about so "keep your pants on"!)

Netherlands

And, with almost 11 days overdue, I present to you the Netherlands entry.

We took the Thalys train from Paris with the destination: Rotterdam. "Lucky" for us, they were working on the railroads those days so we hopped of at Utrecht, then we took a train straight to Hague. `Cause that`s were Pinka and Srj are living now. You`ll see pictures of their neighborhood at the end. And yes ... they live in a red MVRDV house.

In the 5 days remaining of our trip we visited Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft and Hague. (if I forgot something, just let me know)

Given the fact that I`m not in a "writing allot of stuff" mood I`ll let you enjoy the pictures.

Don`t be shy and write a few words yourself ... and yes, you can send this link to other people. ;) )

P.S. The song is Red House played by Jimi Hendrix. I wanted to put another song but I can`t really get a hold of it so this one is just as good. Mainly because we stayed at our friends in a red house in Hague and as a side reason: it`s 12 bar blues and Razvan is trying to get the hang of it right now. Bro, I could only wish I could play 10% of what is Jimi doing by the time you get it together, but you`re getting it wright faster than I can learn how to improv...

Closure (part 4)

Cu acest entry inchei sirul de poze facute cu ocazia Bienalei de Arhitectura de la Venetia.

A fost foarte frumos. Abia astept sa revad expozitia peste 2 ani, sper, cu aceeasi oameni cu care am fost tura asta, pentru ca ne-am simtit tare bine.
Pana atunci sper sa invat sa cant la chitara si/sau mai bine la muzicuta, astfel incat autocarul sa fie si mai animat. Promit ca peste 2 ani voi avea un UWA dupa mine, ca tare i-am dus dorul...







Tip of the trip:

- pot sa recomand sa va luati dupa voi un singur obiectiv bun la toate; Nikon-ul are pus la bataie pentru un pret care pare mare dar care face toti banii, un Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VRII pe la ~21milioane

-daca totusi aveti impresia ca aberez in cele spuse mai sus, atunci puteti sa mai adaugati si un Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 (intre 500-600$) sau un Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 (desi acesta din urma o sa va rupa mai intai buzunarul - 5000RON - si apoi gatul pentru ca are fix 1kg... in viu!)
-P.S.: la unul din astea de mai sus mai merge "asezonat" un Nikkor 135mm f/2 (~3700RON) sau un Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 (~3500RON) sigur v-ar oferi mai multe posibilitati de "distractie".

-pe astea din urma le am si eu in wishlist, asa ca daca o sa se intample sa castigati la loto cu numerele 6 / 2/  17 / 19 / 23 / 46 , faceti o pomana si trimiteti unul din ele incoace. :)

Venetia si imprejurimile ei (part 3)

O saptamana foarte aglomerata dar tot mi-am facut timp sa mai pun niste poze din excursie. Mai am o singura serie mica pregatita pentru maine si termin. Poate dup`aia ma incumet sa pun niste poze trase pe film. We shall see.

Pana una-alta, enjoy these ones!
