I was relaxing on the beach in good company and no usual camera gear when three cute kids came over to our peer. They soon started to play and catch crabs when I noticed that their hunt would make an excellent photo. I took my iPhone 3gs and took a shot in rather challenging lighting [...]

It so happened that I had a chance to go to an international dog show in my home town (Split CAC, CACIB held in Dugopolje). Our family white miniature schnauzer Bonnie has to go to one of these shows and get judged so that her offspring could have a pedigree. Great thing about the dog shows [...]

Recently, I was asked to cover an important medical event in my part of the world. I am always happy to take on work such as this as it gives me a chance to meet people, try out new techniques and (most importantly) earn some money along the way. What makes an otherwise mundane commission is that [...]

Just how do you approach such an iconic subject without repeating what literally millions of people have photographed before, especially when you are visiting such a place for the first time yourself and are inevitably drawn to the same few (extraordinary) places as any other of the millions of travellers that visit Rome each year? The answer [...]

Introduction I must admit I wanted this lens since it came out. I wanted it badly after viewing some of the rare photos made with it on Flickr but the price and negative reviews always dissuaded me from buying it. This is such a shame as the Canon EF 50mm f1.2 L USM lens is [...]

This is just a short post to highlight a rather useful Canon resource which sometimes gets overlooked as it is hidden deep inside Canon’s huge web of web sites. It is Canon’s book EF Lens Work III, The Eyes of EOS, 8th Edition (2006). Being a Canon book it will inevitably have quite a bit of Canon’s [...]

Beaches are so peaceful in the winter time. No tourists, few locals and the lovely low angle of light. This series is taken in Dugi Rat, between city of Split and town of Omis on the Dalmatian coast.

Visoka is a part of my city where I never stopped before; there is just nothing there that usually interests me. Then one day I started noticing that for a high-socialist-rise residential district there are unusual hotspots of activity, that the main age group is 50+ and that everything is a little bit Steptoe and [...]

‘Let’s just have a look, we’ll be there just for five minutes’ said my aunt. Half an hour later she comes out of Reto just having brought herself an antique wardrobe at the rock bottom price of just 130Eur. Reto shop is run by a charity that helps addicts overcome their illness and get back [...]

Snow, sleet, icy rain… strangers to the warm short winters here is the Med surprised me the other day. Waking up to the whole village covered by a centimetre of ice my first thought was hurrah, let’s take some shots.

I wanted to showcase some of my favorite images from Croatian photographer Nikola Vučemilović. Nikola is from my hometown Split where he still lives and continues to take active part in the city’s photography circle. Nikola was born in 1922 and was a war photographer in WWII and later became the Yugoslav Navy’s photographer in [...]

I am writing this one for my friends who just got their first camera (usually a DSLR) and who often ask me one basic question – just how do you get to take photos with blurry backgrounds? Photo buffs beware, there is not much in this article for you. There are plenty of resources on [...]
