Moments Of Life

One of the hardest thing for a photographer is to capture something in motion. It's not impossible obviously, it's quite easy if you have an ultra fast professional camera. But most of us don't have such gadgets, just out regular camera, or our mobile phone. What I do is just push the button hoping I get at least one decent shot.

At a photography exhibition, you have the chance to see some cool shots, about people, animals and so on. I don't know how they do it, maybe it's luck on their behalf too, but I appreciate every single photo I see as I can learn from them.

This is one of those photos, which has a bonus as well. Catching the reflection in the water can be considered a bonus.

Watchful Stone Mothers

Capturing funny moments in life is an art I'd say. You need to pay attention to details and see what's in front of you. I don't know where this photo was taken, but it's quite interesting. Those stone statues, you don't find them just anywhere.

Nearby

I would name this photo tranquility. That's what I see in the photo. That wooden house, that could be a barn or stable, looks forgotten by time and taken over by nature. That place looks like the perfect one to forget about the world and have some peace and quiet. A proper hiding place if you ask me.

Unfortunately reflections were working against me here, but still, the photo is good. What you see there is people dressed in traditional Hungarian folk costumes, that are common in Transylvania.

Next time I need to check if there are cameras in the room and turn the lights in another direction, without getting in trouble. It's not nice, but serves my purpose 😂

Idyll

This is a scene you don't see often. Partly because sled is not used anymore, or at least I don't think so. The other reason is snow is becoming rare these days. Once there was the only means of transportation.

Alone In The Crowd

What are the chances to capture such a moment?

Holiday Closed Into Work

The title may look a bit odd, especially if you don't know what you are looking at. That big tool is a plow, which symbolizes work. In the background people are marching in festive clothes, most likely celebrating Easter.

Connection

This is my favorite by far. This photo has a deep meaning. Back in the day this is how break was baked. They had a furnace and were baking bread once a week or twice, depending on the needs. After the bread was taken out of the furnace, the outer layer needed to be beaten, so the dark parts to come off. I wish could bake bread like that or at least participate once at such baking. That bread is priceless, especially when it's still fresh. What you see on the photo is life.

This is a mixed one for me. Hay always has been essential for farmers and the way to transport it always have been by chariot. That's what you see on the photo, but the hay is in rolls, which is not done manually. Kind of takes away a bit of the value, but the photo is still great.

This is also a brilliant photo. Imagine, to be up there, looking to this scene. To bad those spotlights ruining it.

I need to look around and see if I can adjust the lights next time 😏

I like the " Alone in the Crowd". Stirs up emotions. 🧐

I think of the idea that maybe some photographers are doing magic on their shots, but maybe they just have higher quality lenses and cameras. But anyway, I agree, photography exhibitions are becoming eye-openers and will surely make you think about the meaning of each photo they display.

I love the water reflection in the first photo, and the "Alone in The Crowd" was powerful too, I guess that's a once in a lifetime shot. I really like how you reminisce about the moments you remember back in the days, like the dresses, the way of baking bread, and the mode of transportation. I learned a lot, really. 🤗

Obviously a good camera is necessary, but you also have to have a good eye to see these scenes and consider them worthy. How many have super expensive gear and don't know how to use it, phones included.

The reflection photo is a very good one and the other, the "Alone in The Crowd" is a once in a million years 😂 Now imagine taking 10 shots (as birds fly fast) and none of them is good. But you saw the perfect one, but could not capture it. How frustrating that must be.

Thank you for the nice comment and I'm glad you learn from my posts. Have a nice day 🤗

I really like Connection, tells a story of a simple life, a place I'd live to retreat to at times.
But, believe it or not, my favourite is the last one showing the passage and the different rooms, I like the geometry - your photo?

Dear @lizelle, sorry for the late reply, things got a bit crazy here. I'm glad you like Connection.

The last photo is mine, it shows the gallery. It's an interesting one as that's the mansard of the gallery.

Those are well worth to spend my time to look at and definitely capturing a moving subject is not that possible if you have the tool but what I do is the timing hihi. Not that great but still satisfied sometimes.

My favorite among those photos above is the one bird who's lonely while the crowd is busy. I'm wondering if that bird doesn't have a friend that time.
