Winter

Winter like this hasn’t been in Slovakia for ages. At the beginning of 2017 mother nature treated us with lots of snow and temperatures dropped below -15°C. And it’s been like for a week now. Just few days ago it was a bit warmer but forecast promising that I’ll be fnk freezing again.

To be honest I wish it was summer already but we always want something that we haven’t so you better appreciate what you currently have. I’m working on that, too. 

February has just started so summer is still a long way off. Well, I have to be patient. 

Equine 

Horsemanship is something I absolutely love to shoot. And it’s always been something I love to observe. It is extremely fascinating to see how those enormous, strong animals with excellent temperament move with such power and lightness at the same time. I can’t stop admiring the movement of their muscles, whether they gallop at their fastest speed or simply just stand still. It really amazes me every time. 

I’ve loved horses ever since I was a child. I don’t love just observing or taking pictures of them. I also love riding them. Back in a day I was even taking lectures and let me tell you, I don’t have a single bad memory from those days. 

However, I stopped. I’d always say some stupid excuse like ‘I don’t have time.’ ‘It was expensive.’ or ‘My mum didn’t like the fact that it was so dangerous.’ Stupid isn’t it? Putting away something that you love and it makes you happy. 

I miss it. I really do. Maybe I don’t have time to spare, but I could manage. If there’s will, if there’s desire anything is possible. But you have to fight for whatever you want. 

I don’t want to say riding is a lost battle for me. One day, I’ll get back. I’ll fly. But for now, I’ll stand on the side and get these shots hah. 

After rain

Don’t get me wrong but everyone loves summer rain and if sun comes out after one, it’s even more beautiful. And this was that one time.

Lightning 

These photos took me a lot of effort as it wasn’t completly dark and I had to set longer exposure. I’ve actually shooted 220 photos and just these 3 came out nice.

Also computer that I had Adobe Lightroom on has to be completly reinstalled so I had to edit on my mobile’s VSCO cam. Really nice app I edit with it my instagram photos, but I’m afraid that quality is ruined >.< Hope you still like it c: 

Chloé Commercial 

Last month my very good friend needed to shoot a commercial of something for one of her classes. I felt really honoured she contacted me to help her out with it.

Here are some of the pictures that came out nicely. Beside them there is also a video that she edited but unfortunetly I can’t share it. Although I think it’s put together very well and she has an eye for these things so hopefully she’ll keep doing stuff in this sphere.

And hey! Summer is finally here! So don’t sit around and go play around. Do you like this scent? Which is your favourit one for this summer?
