A lovely wedding

 Had the priviledge to attend a wedding last Saturday. This time I wasn't the official photographer, but more like a guest. Of course I carried my camera with me, but only one body, two lenses and a speedlight, so I was pretty lightly armed. When you are not the official photographer you can just enjoy the party, mingle around and snap a few images from time time, and that's nice. No matter if you are a guest or on "duty", few things remain the same when it comes to weddings, the Bride is beautiful, groom is handsome and you meet lots of new cool people. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and made a couple of new acquaintances.
  Even if I wasn't invited as a photog. to this wedding I just couldn't help my self and I had to steel the couple for a few minutes for a portrait. Just something very simple, backlit by setting sun, filled with one speedlight from the front and that's it. Then a little post processing.
  So congrats Sanja and Marko! And here follows two versions of  the five minute portrait session. Just love the expressions of the bride and the groom.

Labin

  Have spent a couple of days in Labin, Croatia. Just what a lovely place! The shiny Adriatic sea, good food, nice people... the list goes on. Just fell in love with the Istrian peninsula. When it comes to photography, there's just so much to shoot. The first evening I had the pleasure to stumble in to an abandoned pharmacy and to have a short urbex adventure. The old town of Labin is just gorgeous. Lots of doors, windows, walls, stones, colors, old, rustic... I guess you got it. And then there is the reptilian side. There should be a great number of species of snakes an such in Croatia. On Thursday I saw a green whipsnake, which is actually black. Tried to run after it for a shot or two. The poor critter didn't understand my "friendly" approach and it escaped. So no phototos of that. And one more thing, just imagine what portraiture you can do in this place. Just waiting...
