The Eye of the falcon***Pistriku silm. Pictures by EdWare***Pildid EdWarelt

This picture is taken in Woodlands Falconry in Ireland

Most of the images featured in this blog are captured by my husband. I'm eager to share his remarkable shots with you all!

Reflecting on my childhood, I recall my father's passion for photography, wielding his Fed 2 camera with expertise. He maintained his own darkroom, a space illuminated by a mesmerizing red glow as he developed photographs using chemicals. I fondly remember the photocutter he possessed, though my brother and I often found ourselves in trouble for cutting regular paper with it—much to my dad's dismay, though the reason escapes me!

In today's digital age, capturing and editing photos has become both accessible and complex. With a plethora of devices—ranging from digital cameras to smartphones and tablet PCs—and an array of editing software available, the process is more streamlined yet nuanced than ever before. However, I firmly believe that true photographic artistry stems from being in the right place at the right time, coupled with a keen eye for composition. My husband, EdWare, embodies this sentiment, showcasing his talent through his work. Below, I've included some of his captivating images, but for the full experience, I encourage you to visit the link provided.

We were out on a walk with group of friends in Luggala then this big guy showed up :P

 Again - Luggala walk

 

Regarding the image above, it's titled "Split Man," and Ed expressed some hesitation about sharing it since it diverges from his typical style, which primarily focuses on capturing nature scenes. However, I personally found it intriguing and felt it complemented the "Danger" sign photo quite well—incidentally, one of my favorites among his collection (though truthfully, they're all exceptional). In "Split Man," there's an interesting juxtaposition as the figure appears to gaze up at the looming "Danger" sign, adding a layer of depth to the composition.

The picture captures a serene moment in St. Lucia, where the day transitions into evening, and the sunset paints the sky with enchanting hues. It was a particularly tranquil day, and the sunset, in particular, held a touch of magic, casting its warm glow over the landscape. In St. Lucia, dusk arrives quite early, around 7 pm, cloaking the surroundings in darkness and adding to the allure of the setting.

Amidst our journey to an undisclosed destination, we chanced upon a breathtaking sight: a vast expanse of golden rapeseed fields stretching as far as the eye could see. The vibrant yellow hues of the blooms painted the landscape in a mesmerizing tapestry of gold, captivating our senses and momentarily halting our journey. It was a serendipitous encounter, a fleeting moment of beauty that left an indelible impression on our hearts and minds.

The photo captures the essence of the journey, where the road ends and the adventure truly begins. Estonia's bogs indeed offer a unique and captivating landscape, with their tranquil beauty and rich biodiversity. Exploring these natural wonders must have been a truly memorable experience, immersing oneself in the serene tranquility of the wilderness.

What a thoughtful gesture from your husband! It's wonderful to hear that you cherish this desktop wallpaper so dearly. Having it displayed prominently on your screen, surrounded by a soothing green background, must create a serene and inspiring workspace. It's the little things like this that can brighten our days and bring joy to our lives.

Encounters like these add a delightful surprise to a stroll along the beach. The cat's friendly demeanor and spontaneous appearance must have made the moment even more memorable. It's as if the cat knew it would bring joy to those it encountered, leaving a lasting impression with its charming presence.

The vibrant green hair amidst the lush scenery of Luggala Wicklow mountains was quite the sight! It's as if nature itself decided to add a playful touch to the landscape, contrasting with the serene gray sky above. Moments like these make hiking adventures even more memorable and enjoyable, offering a delightful blend of natural beauty and unexpected surprises.

Take it easy!

Enamus mu blogi pilte on mu abikaasa tehtud. Tänapäeval on piltide tegemine palju lihtsam kui siis kui ma väike olin. Mu isa tegi must valgeid pilte oma Fed 2 kaameraga ja ilmutas filmirulle pimikus. Mulle nii meeldis pimiku punane valgus, huvitavad kemikaalid ja vennaga nürisime ta fotopaberi lõikurit tavalist paberit sellega tükeldades. Nüüd pole isa vähemalt 25 aastat enam pilte teinud ja fotokas istub nahkvutlaris sektsiooni kõrges kapis ja ootab..ja ootab..

This is how my dads camera looks like, I still sometimes take it out from a cupboard - smell the leather pouch and see how different this camera looks from a modern digital camera!

Nüüd kasutatakse igapäevaselt automaatsete seadistustega digitaalseid kaameraid ja hiljem töödeldakse pilte erinevate fototöötlusprogrammidega. Kõige olulisem hea fotograafi juures on aga see, et on vaja olla õigel ajal õiges kohas ja peab olema silma kompositsiooni jaoks! Mu abikaasa on sündinud kunstnik! Mõned tema pildid on üleval pool ja lisasin ka lingi kui on suurem huvi :)!

Ole tubli!
