Summer 2017 Projects - Messinia

My final vacation time for this summer was spent in Kalamata in Messinia prefecture, mostly relaxing and sea bathing, but there was enough time to visit Peroulia beach and Koroni with its famous castle and food.  I also spent some hours alone under the dark sky next to Kapetanakis Castle in Charavgi village, photographing the Milky Way (or trying to do it properly this time anyway), using Magic Lantern's Full-Resolution Silent pictures function with the integrated intervallometer, powerbank-to-battery convertor and very high ISO rating for a future timelapse sequence.  Finally, I shot some editorial photos for the now functional bridge in my home village in order to create my final post on this subject.

Summer 2017 Projects - August - Lesvos

The main summer vacation time this year was spent in Lesvos, which is my birthplace and I have rarely visited so far.  Lesvos is widely known as one of the first islands related to the immigration crisis (the second type of crisis flourishing in Greece) and because of the recent earthquake a few months ago.  However, there is much more to discover and the island has a large history dating back to the Prehistoric years.

Summer 2017 Projects - July - Syros


This year lead me to places I had previously gone before, but never had the chance to explore in depth because of time restrains.  Greece has many beautiful places to visit and sometimes, even the town you spend most of your life has hidden gems, the ones you have to know where to look for.  If you spend some time online researching ahead, there is much information for you and planning gets easier and more efficient.  You can also save money planning ahead and visit more places than you would, than if you didn't plan at all. So, this summer lead me to beautiful Syros island, where I had previously seen just the front side of Ermoupolis from the ship deck while going to Santorini some years ago.  We had 5 days to explore the island of Syros and of course they were not nearly enough.

EKEN H8R, A Small Miracle

This summer I had the opportunity to extensively use my new little gadget, a small "action" camera which goes everywhere!  With the waterproof housing on, I took it underwater with me and shot beautiful pictures and videos of the bottom of the sea.  I must say i was impressed of the new world I have discovered and I look forward to shooting more underwater footage.

Canon 6D Timelapse overnight with a Powerbank and no shutter count!

Have you seen the beautiful Time-Lapse videos, some on 4K that are all around the internet?  Some have increased dynamic range which gives a spectacular effect and changes the way we see the world (in fast movement).  Seeing the time passing by so quickly fitting 2 or more hours in a one minute clip is something that drew my attention, but I was always scared of the large shutter count it would need before the video length was enough to watch.
