Winter 2012/2013 (part 2)

Forest by the airport - another lovely place where we take our dogs for a walk.

Whatcha got there, sis?

the deeper the snow...

...the better

True!

some logs

logs again

and more logs

Time to go home!

Winter 2012/2013 (part 1)

Since 4 new rolls are being processed, I have to catch up on some old stuff. Here it goes - pics take almost a year ago. Justyna and our dogs in Winter Wonderland Myślęcinek (Bydgoszcz).

Load the Canons!

yellow snow...?

Time to go home, come to mommy!

Early winter in Sopot

Some shots from the "forgotten rolls", this time from a trip to Sopot back in December. 

Fara is always on the move...

(beach in front of Hotel Sofitel Grand)

...so taking a good photo of her is next to impossible

(with Europe's longest wooden pier in the background)

Justyna and Fara (still running around)

Fara finally got a bit tired, so I was able 

to take a photo that wasn't blurry

Fara couldn't believe her ears when I told her that this 

wooden beauty was built in 1827 and is 511.5 metres long

Forgotten rolls...

It's been a while since my last post but I'm back with some 3D shots. There are quite a few, so I will be uploading them in sets. The first set is from October last year - a walk with our two dogs in the forests surrounding Bydgoszcz airport.

Sarbinowo with my girls

Early September. A three-day trip to the Baltic coast with Justyna and our puppy Fara. This time to Sarbinowo - a small fishing village (turning into a tourist resort in the summer) near Koszalin.

  fishing equipment is actually quite picturesque...

 ...when combined with sunset

 Fara obviously has ADHD

(dunno where the strange skew distortion came from)

Justyna on the top balcony of a lighthouse in Gąski village

(where a nuclear power plant was planned to be built
but eventually wasn't because the locals didn't agree)

statue of Mary Mother of God in Gąski village founded 

by the local people to "deliver us from the atom"... LOL

Onion Skin

One thing about photos taken with 3d cameras that annoys me is that when you compile them into a flickering GIF as they come (no cropping or aligning), the main subject of your photo often isn't the center of rotation (let's call it C.O.R.). And as a matter of fact it should be - to keep the viewer's attention on the subject. To achieve this, after isolating each of four photos from the scan, I imported them into Adobe Flash (each into a separate frame on the timeline) and then aligned using Onion Skin option (one of the small buttons in the bottom part of the timeline window) so that the chosen main subject remained in the same place. After cropping and saving as separate JPGs I used GIF Animator (Mac) with 0.1 sec delay to compile an animated GIF. Enjoy the effect!

PS I might write a tutorial on this someday if anyone likes :-)

In Hel

There is a special place in Poland called Hel Peninsula - located on the coast of Baltic Sea it's an ideal place for all kinds of watersports, sunbathing, biking, hiking and... showing off your latest gear or designer clothes, sadly.

Fara's pit-stop on A1 highway - pee & eat

 bike trip from Chałupy to Jastarnia

 another pit-stop

 ...and another one

 it was kinda windy at the beach and Fara preferred cuddling rather than running around

 Come to daddy!

 Sit! Good girl!

 say goodbye to the sea, we're going home

Goggie woggie

Finally, I got a dog! It's an English Cocker Spaniel puppy, her name is Fara (Swedish for "danger"). She is ultra cute, although she pees all over the apartment... ;-)

Fara's favorite spot

(picture taken way too close)

flirty look (too close again)

Fara still needs to be taken out for a walk several times a day

Film used - monochrome ILFORD HP5 Plus 400. Personally, I think color film gives a deeper 3D effect...
