All the pictures, taken originally in color, were processed using a digital technique, so only a circular polar filter was screwed on the lens in fact (and this is why in some photos you will see almost black sky). You can see also an enormous number of people walking around Â usual thing St. DominicÂs Festival time. But these photos will not be any kind of a picture story, just loose architectural impressions.

Well, my wife like the obtained pictures, I also enjoy them

Maybe you will like it too.

I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

And the most beautiful, expressive and sad performance of this song I've ever heard [link] .

Thank you very much for all your comments and favs, my friends. I'm going to answer the questions about camera, lens etc. you asked.

It's great you like all these macro-monster photos. Most of them live in my garden, so after some successfull sessions I'm terribly frightened of going to my scary backyard...

More photos soon (macro and architecture/city from trip to GdaÅsk-Sopot-Gdynia this summer).

However there were a few quite warm days this month. Well then, I could test new photographic stuff and techniques of shooting. As I thought, photos from DSLR are much better, but operating this kind of camera is much more difficult I imagined. Additionally full equipped camera (with lens, extension tubes and flash) is a huge and heavy device in hands. After one hour in the garden I wondered if tripod is necessary to shoot macro or maybe working out several weeks in a gymÂ

Finally after many attempts, completely failed shots and experiments, I managed to obtain some satisfactory photographs. They will be shown in the gallery (but not only the macro photos and not only from DSLR - will be marked). Please don't hesitate to comment and point out any shortcomings or errors. I will be very grateful to you for any tips and advices, my friends.

PS. Sorry for my poor English.

Three days of hiking in the mountains brought a lot of photos, but some of them unfortunately turned out to be a total failure. Weather condition was difficult both for me (I mean my photographic skills), and for the cameraÂ Nevertheless IÂm going to show you a dozen or so chosen pictures I took last autumn.

My song (II)

_{For that land where a scrap of bread is picked up

From the ground out of reverence

For Heaven`s gifts...

I am homesick, Lord!...

For the land where it`s a great travesty

To harm a stork`s nest in a pear tree,

For storks serve us all...

I am homesick, Lord!...

For the land where we greet each other

In the ancient Christian custom:

"May Christ`s name be praised!"

I am homesick, Lord!...

I long still for yet another thing, likewise innocent,

For I no longer know where to find

My abode...

I am homesick, Lord!

For worrying-not and thinking-not,

For those whose yes means yes - and no means no -

Without shades of grey...

I am homesick, Lord!

I long for that distant place, where someone cares for me!

It must be thus, though my friendship

Will never come to pass!...

I am homesick, Lord!

Anyway, still saving up for good camera and macro lens, I decided to use reversed lens with compact camera. So I took old Minolta Z1 with old old Helios (from analog SLR) lens and constructed something like microscope with camera at the other end. As you can imagine, the quality of such a composed lens isn't too good, but it was worth to experiment and photograph the smallest creatures living in my garden.

I will be glad if you like the photos

And don't hesitate to comment.

PS. I've got problems with my monitor color calibration recently, so I apologize if you see too dark or undercoloured images...
