PhotoWorkshop Bieszczady 2009 #2

In the previous post I've shown you few pictures from the workshop in Bieszczady. Of course I've more to share. All you've seen were taken before dinner and what I'd like to show today are from evening session. First we went to little known waterfalls in Uherce Mineralne village. Waterfall is on the river Olszanka and for me is really amazing as for polish conditions. For sure it's kind of challenge to take a nice photo of it, especially in this grey, winter weather. But please see pictures below and comment them if you wish.
After very short session at the waterfall we headed to Solina dam. Janusz promised that it will be fully illuminated from 6pm to 6:30pm. I could hardly believe it, but after we spread our equipment and waited few minutes, dam started to get lighter and lighter and after a while it was completely bright!!! What an amazing view! It was really unbelievable, but true. We started taking pictures then moved closer to the dam to take even more pictures. In the last few minutes we managed to get on the dam itself and take some pictures from above. Illumination shut exactly at 6:30 pm as promised, but we still wanted to take some more pics. We started to play with long exposure time and got some nice pictures with words "Solina" and "Magija" - see them below. Then we got back to the Zagroda Magija for supper and short photo review...

Hi there ;-),
Hope you are well, Chrisl . We have neither seen each other nor spoken to each other for soooo long time, have we ;-)? But just today I’ve found your works, taken from many places. Amazing pictures indeed! I’ve only heard that your could be a man “addicted to photography”, but it’s smth really more ! Besides that, now I also can see your addiction’s fruits .

Let me specially thank you for some pictures taken during your workshop (step 5, waterfalls #4) at Solina. These are the other roots for my inspiration.
I sill miss a lot of knowledge re filters, lens, body, ISO, etc, etc. Still hungry for that kind of info.

Take care,
Marek
