Lights and Shadows... see hereunder for more details:

Study about lights and shadows. I wasn't in the mood for night outdoors photography, so there was no other solution than being creative at home. Daily objects can be transformed into highly interesting photography subjects. For this picture I used a zoom-in technique during 2.5 sec. exposure to give the impression of movement of the object itself and its shadows. Edited with Nik filters in Photoshop to give an ancient camera look and to add a bit more drama to it. Comments are welcomed!

Canon 5dMarkIII, Canon lense 24-105mm, from 24 to 105mm in one shot, f/13, ISO 100, speed: long exposure: 2.5 sec.

Playing at the Design Museum, London

Photographing babies is not an easy task! In the picture, Baby Alex, the son of my Russian-Lithuanian-British friend, playing at the designer museum, opened in 2016.

More to the museum: Designed byJohn Pawson and OMA, it is located at the former Commonwealth Institute building in Kensington. London, Uk. It has a great space with very interesting lines and a parabolic roof.

Gear: Canon 5dmarkIII, Lenses: Canon 24-105mm at 60mm 1/250 f/ 4, ISO 5000

Since I didn't have a flash I had to push up the ISO resulting in a quite granulous texture
