The moon 25.11.2009

The fog ... II.
The view from Churila hills ... waiting for sunset....

The fog ... I.
Today I went out -with my friends Vasile and Bogdan - for a "photoshooting". In the city was a very thick and dense fog ... but ... after a small conference we decided to go and try out our luck...
First we went to Churila's hills, and as we climbed up the hills the fog disappeared...I felt very positive, I think my friends too...Up there was a nice view, but now a present some snapshots from the second location from the observatory ... this serial presents the pictures taken from the observatory:


The fog above Kolozsvar (Cluj-Napoca)

This one is a bit out of focus, interesting is that take off from the airport....

And off course the Moon...

The moon today ...

Preparing for Stock Photography ...

Walking trough the city...

These two images represents the well known face of Kolozsvar (Cluj Napoca), the main reason to take this trip to Belvedere was to test my new Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD Di macro lens which I got from a good friend of mine, Nicu! So if you are reading this my friend, thank you again!The lens performs good with strong light, the AF is good, but in low light I had some problems.But overall I like this lens...

Some abstract shots from Belvedere ... These where made with my 18-55 Pentax lens...
I like the colored rocks in the concrete...



Architecture, from the city center, Horea street...

My personal favorite ...
