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).

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. :)

Croatia (part3)

La finalul fiecarei zile descarcam cardul in directorul aferent, dar cum nu vreau sa pun (ca pe blogul trecut) chiar toate pozele, am decis ca pe acesta sa fie doar cele reprezentative (bune - rele, cum or fi). Asa ca pana la urma, impins fiind de pixelii colorati de plangea monitorul, le-am aranjat ca sa incapa "mumos" in pagina si n-am mai tinut cont de cronologie.

Partea a 3-a contine panorame, cateva dintr-o gramada. Plangea laptopul la 94*C cand prelucram imensitatile astea. (evident, ca sa nu va cauzez probleme vizuale, le-am redimensionat. (sunt constient de pierderea calitatii ... dar pana la urma, v-arat pe unde`am umblat vara asta :D )

Daca aveti curaj sa click-uiti pe poze, va asteapta niste variante o idee mai mari; cam 1280px pe latura lunga.
