I've been taking photos almost exclusively using film cameras since 2011. This was taken during a recent trip. I love how the clouds look like they were paintbrushed :)

I love taking fotos :) Here is my page: http://500px.com/Suzanka It's a photo from our school trip to England (this is the Lake District). This amazing dady told us, which places should we visit and he couldn't get, that we're here with school and we can't go where we want.. I wish I see him again and can see the places, that are important to him, he was amazing :)

Thanks to all involved. I love all of your photos!

I love taking pictures :-) This is one of the three old mills in Skerries. There are two windmills and one watermill and this one is the only one not open to public. It's a beautiful place, the other windmill was built in the 16th century and is still working! The picture was taken only yesterday.

So, which one do you like the best? Many photos are yet to come.

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

It's time for the first post (a short one though) about this month's Monthly Task - Photo Challenge! I think the upper quote describes all that the art of taking photos could give to the one taking them in the best way. I, too, love having fun with the camera and exploring all the possibilities, different angles etc. But to be honest, I prefer video, but that's a theme for some other Monthly Task. 

One of my favourite photos I have ever taken is this swan. It was taken in 2011 at Krka river, near Skradin in Dalmatia. The swans were so adorable! I edited it a bit, and it turned out to this...

I'm posting the rest of the photos from fellow collectors and photographers soon so keep your eyes open ;)
