Summer in Greece

Last summer. I  was able to get some of my holiday and organize a trip to Greece. Destination was the island of Rhodes. For a guy like me the sea was something unbelievable miracle. And the whole island was something unexpected. The people, the sand, the sun, the sunburn ( :) ) the colors (all kind of blue, and white).
It was amazing. And of course, i took my DSLR to the holiday. That was the time, when i first tried to shoot in Manual mode, the first time when i forgot the camera on high iso, etc.
The best vacation ever. (also engaged my girlfriend there :) )

Getting to know each other...

Some days had been passed since my last post. But now it's time for the next one.:)
As an introduction i have to say. Nyikita and myself are now getting to know each other. A few weeks ago we just started it @ Septemberfest (The beginning) and a continued with this on KaoszFest (Chaos Festival). I took some days at home, taking pictures of the usual themes @ home (My cats etc, just to know Nyikita, The Nikon D90).
Based on the previous experiences I was looking forward to the opportunity for the next concert event. Unfortunately i couldn't get in to The Epica concert which was held @ Budapest. So the next possible was the Super Bad Heroes in the Crazy Mama.
At first time, i forgot one thing: the distance. I attached the 50mm lens at home, and i haven't picked up anything else.In the first half an hour i was really upset because of this. But later on i had to admit that this lens is perfect for these kind of events. (well, maybe in some time I would like to have one of this, but that is quite far in time from now)
I think i did a quite good work (took miles with walking around the stage to get the composition. Well, disadvantage of the fix lens) and despite that sometimes i screwed up the shot because i forgot to re-adjust my settings, and lost great moments because when that came, i was really at the other side of the room, i have to say. I've learnt a lot from the last two times when Nyikita and me were shooting bands. :) (Now i need to mention, that i'm not insane when i'm impersonate my things, but i really like to believe they have souls. And it easier to scold if you can name it:) )
And as always, lets share the results.
