I have been playing around with photoshop.

So, this week I spent a little too much time in photoshop (considering I had a crazy amount of work to do..)

As you can see I discovered ‘actions’ in photoshop and I went CRAZYYY…

I even remade old photos.

Photos that weren’t nice at all, suddenly became interesting

Out of focus images

and bad quality ones

Cute ones

and some even cuter… I have forgoten the time she was so small…

I even tried to make romantic ones

and borring ones were spiced up!

Cuteness never stops…

Sunday blogging and relaxing

I always wait for Sunday with such enthusiasm. It’s the only day of the week I do not work… And I always have grant plans, which I almost NEVER manage to fulfil.. Today I managed to do most of the things I had planed and the evening is still young.

The fact that it has been raining almost all day helped a lot.

Another thing that helped a lot was borrowing/confiscating my boyfriend’s iphone…

New recipe on Delicious Diversity…

Trying to make interesting photos with horrible light and no props whatsoever

A calf we came across yesterday, in a last-minute car ride, (those are the best). The day was sunny and warm, very spring like…

Sunny day in the midst of winter

So we had a sunny weekend and we went for a ‘walk’ in the plot behind our house. Naturally our cats followed us and demonstrated how pretty, cute and wild they can be.

And since that day it has been raining non-stop…

Elections night

Last Sunday was elections night in here in Greece. Quite important elections.. So we decided to spend the evening at my father’s house watching the results drinking Mojitos…

I was really anxious so I didn’t get many pictures here are the few presentable ones : )

I have to be careful with my fingers though…

Flash seems to work perfectly

Early holidays

We went to Rhodes for a five day trip after almost 4 years without any holidays. It was very strange. Rhodes is a very beautiful island with unique sceneries, but the places we visited and stayed were quite horrible. They have turned this amazing island into a fast-food holiday place… Food everywhere was horrible, service even worst and everything seemed like a big mall. Folklore shops, super kitsch restaurants and bars. In the city of Rhodes, the oldest medieval town still inhabited, everything was like a theme park for tourists. Nothing reminded me that I was on a Greek island… This has never happened to me before on any of my trips to Greek islands.

So here are the few digital pictures I took.. Analogues to follow in a couple of weeks.. (Have to find the time to send them for developing and then scanning… I’m tired only by the thought of it )

fortunately we had the car cause there were 2 hour distances…

Bloody sunset (no manipulation whatsoever of this picture)

Lindos

A 16nth century house now operating as a cafe

Delicious mint flavour ice cream!!! He wouldn’t stop talking about how many people have taken his photo and all the magazines he has appeared in.

It was called the cellar of the Knights…

Oh my god they are coming to get us!!!

And some b&w

Bla bla

I finally managed to empty the camera… I know they look random but for the past months I haven’t been consistent with shooting…
So here they are, random shots, randomly processed…

This was shot on a cold February night

We went to Athens and met little Anna, this amazing little human

And then back to Leros for Easter

Nobody likes a flash…

Forgoten winter snapshots

marta — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:38:14 +0000

I have been so busy with work that I completely forgot about the digital camera…I discovered that I have about 500 photos, shot during this winter, to sort out… So I will be posting some wintery digitals.

I do not usually post this kind of photos…but this one I really like
