Motor bikes

Last weekend there was a meeting of a big biker forum in our area. There were more than a 1000 visitors with almost the same amount of motorbikes. For me it was a great opportunity to make some photographs. So I called my friend Itamar and we spend there a few hours. Looking around which bike is nicer to photograph and avoiding passing by motorbikes. I made almost 200 pictures. Here are some "highlights" of that day.

Dan Forrest

Finally I went on another photo trip, After I came home early today I took my camera bag and went to a Forrest nearby. A friend of me told me about the beautiful flowers growing there in this season, but when I got there and took some shots of several flowers, A dragonfly set down close to me, I was really excited since I never photographed flying insects. Luckily she was very patient and let me take a lot of photographs of her. Here are some of the results of a wonderful trip.

Dead Sea and Dessert

Last weekend Itamar and I went on another photo trip. This time we went to the deadsea area and had a great time again. We planned to go to a place a bit up higher in the mountains surrounding the dead sea but since the place was closed we went down to the sea itself and weren't sorry for a minute.

Urban colors

Some shots I took around our building and the garden, with different color projectors.

A night out

Last week me and my friend Itamar went on a spontaneous trip to try our new camera's at night. We went to Jerusalem and made a whole lot of pictures, some came out nice som not at all. Making pictures in the dark is quite new for me and is not the same as during daylight. We kept on until around 5.00 in the morning and really enjoyed it.
Here are some pictures I took that same night and with that, these are the first pictures I publish here I took with my new camera.

A Dream Come True

It's been a while since my last post, but I've been very busy lately. I've opened my own web shop I've also been to Holland and I've made a dream come true. I've been dreaming of this for a long long time already. And I finally did it. I bought a new camera!!! I bought the CANON 40D. I've been looking for a good deal for a long time already and when I was in Holland I found the best deal I saw so far, so….. I was/am as happy as a little boy with his new toy he really wanted. This camera is very scary as well. It is so big and can do so much that I have to learn the whole thing. Because it's a professional SLR camera and not DSLR like I had before, I also have to change some concepts and techniques about photography, but that's part of the fun!! So far I'm learning fast while practicing and soon you'll see the results!

The sea

Today was the birthday of the children and we went a bit up north to celebrate it.
We went the coast, to a place called michmoret. There's a nice beach with a nice restaurant watching over the sea. Besides the good food, just being there next to the sea was very nice and relaxing. We didn't plan to go there, so unfortunately we didn't bring our bathing suited, maybe next time. So instead of jumping in the water, I made some pictures of the water!
