Ephemeral

One more reason to miss the midnight sun in Iceland. And flowers, of course! This shot was taken in the classic and elegant Seljalandsfoss, an absolutely beautiful waterfall during summer nights! It's the result of 32 images in combination of focus stacking, bracketing (HDR) and panorama techniques. Probably the most challenging picture I've ever taken also because of water splashes and a bit of wind. Hope you enjoy!

Hikers on a path in Kerlingafjöll

Beautiful mountain area Kerlingafjöll is one of the best locations in the whole Iceland to shoot! Kerlingafjöll's geothermal springs boil and steam vapor, which completely conceal the mountains. The breathtaking Northern beauty inspires and gives a feeling of harmony and unity with nature.

A Decisions on a path to life

We need to find some points and commonalities with people, so that we can live with others, interact with them as well, build relationships with them, stay away from points of contention and division, and the success of life requires the existence of social relations and diverse ties. Friendship is a very beautiful thing which is a very important element in life and is a secret of the secrets of happiness in life, everyone agrees that friendship adds a special flavor to life, and that with friends spend the most beautiful times and the most beautiful moments of life

Frozen Beauty

The frozen southern pole is a haven for wildlife. Whales, seals and penguins feast in the Antarctic’s southern ocean As in the Arctic, climate change is having a greater impact on the Antarctic than other parts of the world. The southern latitudes are warming three times faster than elsewhere and glaciers are melting faster than they form, raising global sea levels. Less sea ice means penguins have to swim further to find foodIt’s one of the smallest ocean creatures that we should perhaps be most concerned about. Krill are tiny crustaceans, a bit like shrimp, which are vital for almost all Antarctic life. They provide food for many other species, including blue whales, humpback whales and Adélie penguins. Climate change is causing problems for krill as well. They depend on the edges of the sea ice for food and shelter. Less ice means fewer areas in which krill can thrive. And as the oceans absorb more carbon dioxide, the water is becoming more acidic and krill struggle to develop properly. Let everyone do something while we still can and future generations enjoy that frozen beauty as we do...

When Elsa arrives

During the Elsa storm passing through Portugal on December 22, 2019, I decided to photograph its impact on the Felgueiras lighthouse located at the mouth of the Douro River, Porto, which usually provides fantastic photographs that clearly demonstrate the strength of the sea and the how sturdy the old buildings are.

Village on the cliff

First thing I did after arrival in Vagar Airport is visiting village of Gasaladur and Múlafossur waterfall. I was lucky, flight was slightly ahead of time and renting car was just a split of a second. 40 min after landing I was standing on this famous and beautiful location. Unfortunately there was almost no water in the fall and sunset was just hazy an pale with sky completely clear. As my schedule was very busy, I thought I won't get a chance to visit this place again but I had 1 free evening on my last day in Faroes. Second visit was much better. There was a few fast rolling clouds, much more water and there was some nice light shining on the Gasaladur village. Also Puffins arrived which I was hoping to see but never dreamed it will be from such a close distance. The only thing I was missing here was some drama on the water but it was a case through my all stay. I am not a meteorologist but I just can't understand how is it possible that there is only little or no movement on the water in such a strong wind. I used long exposure to capture this lovely cloud movement. Gasaladur and Múlafossur, Vagar, Faroe Islands

Long Coc is considered one of the most beautiful tea hills in Vietnam, with hundreds of small and big hills. At the time of the end of autumn and early winter season, the tea region covered with fanciful fog. This is an ecotourism site with unique culture of Muong ethnic people attracted in Vietnam.

Mystery of water (Мистерия воды)

The photo was taken in Iceland in june 2019. I’ve captured the famous waterfall Skogafoss. It was rainy and there were no tourists except a few photographers . I put on my rubber boots and went into the river. Shooting was very difficult, because I had to wipe the lens constantly from the drops of rain. My goal is to show the power of the nature - supreme elemental force of water. This is unreal mystic world as if you were on another planet

Мы стояли на краю плато Бермамыт и наблюдали как ЭТО надвигается на нас! Было немного жутковато, особенно предствляя как сейчас зальет дорогу и как нам потом предстоит выбираться отсюда. Но ветер остановил этот фронт и свет победил! А потом была радуга, а потом Эльбрус открылся, а потом на небе загорелись миллиарды звезд...

Dragon Island

As it usually happens I create my favourite images at the end of the year. And this year is not an exception. I've captured this petrified dragon end of December and was pretty happy with the results. My son usually helps me to find magical creatures hidden within the shapes and patterns. This time he helped me with identifying these rocks as a dragon.

Isolation in the middle of the Autumn

The old lonely man is earning a living by fishing alone on the lake. Unluckily, the Autumn falls cutting deeply his loneliness by being alone on the lake. Amazingly, the leaves separate the trees making the emptiness going further, creating the sadness deeply into the man’s heart.
