We could
argue for days for the reasons why I started with Canon and not with Nikon
system, but I’ll just say it was by chance and not by selection. It started
like this: I browsed e-bay for a while, searching for a camera update from my OLYMPUS 2-mpixel gadget at an affordable price. You see,
cameras in Greece
were a bit overpriced for my almost empty pockets. I had recently got hold of a
Canon EOS 300D at some store in Greece
priced around 1400 euros. I browsed the menus, but nothing more. I knew the
power of interchangeable lenses, but didn’t have the money or the need to buy
such an expensive present to myself for Christmas.

2005-2007 Post Processing couldn't be simpler
With the
coming of PaintShopPro, Photoshop, ACDSEE and other programs in that time, post
processing couldn’t get much simpler. In PaintShopPro there were many
variations of the same photo to choose from and if you could neglect the fact
that it only worked with 8-bit photos at that time, the results were
impressive.

Adobe has released the final versions of Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 and
Lightroom 4.2. The latest updates bring finalized support for 21
additional cameras, including the Sony A99 and RX100, the Fujifilm X-E1

footnote on Adobe's Lightroom blog explains: "The support for Nikon D600

29/7/2012 Street festival at Kalamata
29/7/2012 Kalamata
There was a street festival with music and happenings in the Railway Park of Kalamata. Actually it was not only that day, but it started some days before. I was reluctant to go there when invited because I was dead tired, but I still wanted to go for shooting. Some of my friends would be in the park where the festival was taking place, so I decided to go anyway since you never know when a good photo opportunity is going to pop-up. And it paid being ready! I only shot 20 shots, as I just wasn't in the mood for "festivities", it is simply not my style and the hard metal sounds of the bands did not help at all as it is not my kind of music.

Busy, busy, busy...
It was a very busy summer...and a busy September...and it looks like October will be a busy one, too. I had more than 6000 shots taken on various occasions, breathtaking landscapes, portraits, stock photos etc. I wish the day had 25 hours instead of 24 sometimes... And there are many photos that I had not the chance of even viewing a second time and they are just lying on my virtual floor. I'll have to leave you with a small taste (a quick PP set of 3 photos) until I find some time to write some stories and post process some photos...Sorry for that..
