For time to time I’m receiving e-mails from painters asking permissions to use my photos as inspirations for their painting. I always give such permissions. Why should I deny that anyway? And I always wanted to see what the outcome would be. Some artists said they would send a photo of completed work to me...

Panorama of Lake Matheson at Sunrise, Lake Matheson, South Westland, South Island, New Zealand New Zealand is absolutely fantastic place. I love this country very much, so when I heard that Christchurch was destroyed by earthquake I was shocked. At least 113 people are dead and 228 more are missing after a 6.3 magnitude tremor...

Hooker Glacier Valley in Southern Alps that lies in Mackenzie Region is probably my favourite place on the South Island of New Zealand. I don’t know why. May be because it is very familiar to the Left Talgar River valley in the Norther Tien-Shan mountain range where I hiked great number of times. I felt...

Lake Matheson, near the Fox Glacier in South Westland, New Zealand, is famous for its reflected views of Aoraki/Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. The waters of Lake Matheson are dark brown, so on a calm day they create the ideal reflective surface. That’s why the Lake Matheson sometimes is called “the mirror lake”. Lake Matheson...

I’m glad I took two tripods on my trip to New Zealand so I was able to shoot at sunset with two cameras with different lenses – wide angle and telephoto. Laziness is definitely a bad character trait for a photographer. Aoraki/Mt Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, reaching a height of 3,754...

When I made this shot I was hoping that the big mountain in the center could be the Aoraki/Mount Cook. What else it could be? And when I returned back home and checked the image under 100% resolution I realised I was right. You can even see lake Pukaki behind Mount Cook. Quite impressive view...

Street food stall, Shanghai, China During my last trips to Japan and China I had to shoot a lot with low light and without a tripod so after that I decided to put down a few notes on how to shoot photos with handheld camera and at slow shutter speed. Here are a few tips...
