I have been a keen photographer since 13, when my mum bought me my first SLR camera Zenit ET. Couple of weeks later I started developing my own films+photos and about a month after that I had my own dark room in my bathroom where all the "weird and wonderful" images appeared... It was fun time. Until now I have used several digital cameras, first one being Fuji S5000, Fuji S9500.
I like to experiment with new ideas and see what comes out, but most of all I love mist! Well that's about it, enjoy my work :o)

Finished picture |
The original image appeared flat and the car didn't stand out of the backround, so Photoshop filter was required to push the house backwards to make it appear less important. A bit of touching up on the dusty wheels to make them look cleaner. Finally suitable frame was found.
