Description Outside the park, Alexandra Avenue, Athens, in the day that snowed. It had stopped snowing by then, but the air took the snow off the trees and it created a beautiful atmosphere and effect. I tried really hard to protect my camera from all the snow (mostly unsuccessfully ).
After these photos, I walked to work since there were no buses or anything..!

You think? Maybe it's because I lived this moment, but I find it so calm and relaxing!

Yeah, I think it's because of the foggy mood and the fact that there's no life at sight, like a ghost town...
But that doesn't mean it's not calm and relaxing too.

Κάνω την ανόητη ερώτση για το αν εσύ την έκανες σε grayscale ή αν φαίνεται έτσι λόγω του χιονιού.
Πάντως για εντός Αθηνών, βρήκες ωραίο μέρος για χιονισμένο τοπίο.

Και εδώ μιλάμε για το παράδειγμα αφοσιωμένου στη δουλειά ανθρώπου. Ενώ οι περισσότεροι δεν μπήκαν καν στον κόπο να δωσουν μια δικαιολογία που δεν πήγαν στην δουλειά, η δεσποινίς όχι μόνο δεν έκατσε σπίτι, αλλά πήγε, απουσία ταξί και λεωφορείου!!!!!!!!! Συγχαρητήρια!

Hehe, of course it's not a secret! I'm just working on a small local photography store, doing anything that can be done actually. From helping with the cleaning early in the morning, to taking photos for passports and ID's, developing films and printing them, printing digital photos, helping with the customers... Pretty tired after 8 hours of that I can tell you!

I can understand that. But I guess that it is a good practice while you are studying, isn't it?

Sage-Arori [2008-02-24 04:38:40 +0000 UTC]

beautiful.

i'd suggest playing with the contrast a little bit. Just to make it a little more dramatic and bring out the shadows.

Winter weather here in Michigan is really harsh too, i used a plastic bag over my cameara and put the filter over the ouside to secure the bag to it. Helps keep it weather proof and water proof some what.

dancingelf In reply to Sage-Arori [2008-02-24 12:35:13 +0000 UTC]

I tried to do so, but when I selected a higher contrast, all those snowflakes floating in the air just disappeared, so I had to choose between no snowflakes or lower contrast, and I chose this one!
Wait, you put the bag between the filter and the lens?? O_O

Sage-Arori In reply to dancingelf [2008-02-25 02:25:23 +0000 UTC]

no there's a hole in it. the filter goes over the hole to seal it mostly it's to protect the camera and for me it works.

omfg.. Snow in Athens.. I thought that can't ever be possible .. It's so hot all summer there..

you have a beautiful weather, I'm a regular tourist to Greece I'm amazed it was snowing that hard there..

And the picture is wonderful, btw

dancingelf In reply to xavierus [2008-02-24 12:33:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, we used to have a nice weather some decades ago, until we killed it! It has snowed some times these last 5-6 years, but first time it snowed enough not to melt after some hours!
I so wanna leave Athens for the summer, it will be freaking hot, but I'll have to work all summer long

I love Thassos Island, it's so peaceful, and has a high potential for photographers

SilkyWays [2008-02-24 02:10:21 +0000 UTC]

Just my luck to get snow like that in Greece when I've moved to the UK. All we got here was one day of snow that didn't settle in all the Winter. And that means a horrible summer too :S

This pic is so unlike Athens, reminds me of more Northern regions. Wish I'd been there.

Beautiful, I love the light and the snow on the trees, and I do miss the snow, we didn't get any this year. Usually this time of year we have people going skiing and ice skating, but now spring is in full swing and it felt almost like summer.
