Hello,
I was planning to write this note already for some time. It is about the way I like to change my photography expression. This is for me completely new as you will see.

I always used available light. I try to use it to my advantage and I made a lot of images against sun, or directly to him. All that was in attempt to create some special feeling in my images. Something one feels normally for little moments, when he, for example, look into the sun or set his/her face directly to the sun beams.

As I try to use photography more and more for expressing my feelings and moods, hopefully also reminding these to somebody else, I stop using the camera to monitor what is around me. More and more I started to manipulate image by filters, crazy angles and similar methods. But still I was capturing what I have found and seen around me.

Now comes the moment when I like to build scene in front of camera myself. And I start with manipulating that light, controlling it better, putting it where I like. Later I hope I will create images and not only capturing them. But for now I need to learn a lot.
