Shot on May 14th, 2009, at sunset…
(Canon S5 IS, F 3.5, 1/400, ISO 200; image slightly edited in Fireworks)
On our short trip, last week-end, I took a shot of a very nice green-blue lizard.
Later, me and Ani discovered that actually this lizard is called European green lizard, and is also known as Lacerta viridis.
Its name contains only ‘green’, but I would have called it green-blue, as its back is really green, but its stomach has a very intensive blue color (as you can see from the photo, too).
So I decided to publish a few more shots of it:
Last Saturday, we met my grand-pa for the first time. On Sunday, he turned 95! :-)
Here, I’d like to share a few shots from this trip (we traveled from Sofia around 200 km to the East to meet him):
…from the last few days:
(NDK, Sofia, May 1, 2009 ~ 18:00)
(water drops in the grass, near Dimitar Blagoev P&P house, Sofia, May 1, 2009 ~ 19:30)
(a tulip in the grass, Svoge, May 4, 2009 ~ 15:30)
(green grass at sunset, Svoge, May 4, 2009 ~ 19:10)
I love the grass, the Sun, the rain, the colors… :-)
This is the European Peacock butterfly (Inachis io)
(I’d say that Canon S5 IS has a lot of downsides, but sometimes its macro mode is amazingly good!:-)
The shot is from April 4th this year, from near the town of Svoge.
This is a photo experiment from a few days ago… It’s nothing spectacular (and with a Canon S5 IS this is almost the maximum you can achieve)… I added a bit of contrast and one effect (using Adobe Fireworks).
Still, I kinda like it. And sometimes I dream of the moment when I can make a photo using F 21 number and 2 minutes exposition time (at least)… :-)
