A cloudy day, last September.
The right day for a little macro shooting, near Randers, where I live.
My camera, a couple of macro lenses and the ring flash (Metz 15 MS-1).
It’s all I needed to describe some little tragedies.
Or some lunches, it depends which side of the table you are sitting on….
Spiders are the characters in every shoot.
Flies, mostly, are the meal.
A pair of solitary eaters:

And two fellows… that fight for a succulent fly:

Let’s start the summer holiday’s trip!
Of course, not in this very moment… but this is the first gallery to describe the trip Francesca and I had last summer.
It began in a outstanding night, the day before last Francesca’s birthday.
From Grenaa’s harbour, by ferry, til Varberg, in Sweden.
One of the brightest summer’s nights.
We waited briefly for the ferry, at eleven o’clock PM:

To leave the dock around midnight…

After some very cold days, finally we have reached the meltin point again… gaining a span of snow.
And today a warm, heavy, wet snow grab and hugs everything.

Of course, with a nice wheather like this, we went to Randers’ downtown, through the swamp along the Gudenå (the river that lead the sea here in the fjord).
Just out of home, the landscape was so:

And the swamp looks like a white Christmas lanscape…

Last September, at the beginning of the bad weather weekends (actually, it isn’t finished yet), the only choice to have a walk was going underground.
In the actual sense of the word…
We went to Mønsted (few kilometers east of Viborg), where there’e some old limestone mines, active til thirty years ago.
With about four kilometers’ path under the groundlevel, with many galleries and a pair of little river… mostly without any light.
At the entrance, there’s a completely useless map:
So, I carried my D700, some prime lenses… and I hoped the 6400ISO was enough…
Actually, I have a couple of photos with flash, but the atmoshere we breath is all in the ambient-light shoots.
All BW, of course, to keep the nice contrast we see.
Ok, let’s go in…

April 2008, two days after my birthday.
The first weekend in Danmark, still in a B&B in København.
There was a great weather, so we had a day trip to Møn ø, south-east of Sjælland.
Probably, the most important natural attraction in this island are the cliffs on the east coast.
Møns Klint, are called, and are the highest cliffs in Danmark.
About 120mt of white chalk, over a light green sea.
D2x at 200ISO, 17-35mm f2.8 AFs at 22mm, f11, 1/160sec, bias 1/3EV
I hadn’t the D700 yet, and for these trip I used my couple of zoom (17-35 and 70-200VR).
Maybe the telezoom is not the best choiche, but the sunny day helped me: the ultra-saturated color rendition had returned good shots.
D2x at 200ISO, 70-200mm f2.8 AFs at 80mm, f8, 1/640sec, bias 0EV
I shooted in the afternoon’s beginning, when the shadow start to cover the cliff’s bottom.
I think it’s the best moment of the day, but great attention is needed to take the best moment to stop the light games…
D2x at 200ISO, 17-35mm f2.8 AFs at 20mm, f11, 1/250sec, bias 1/3EV
We walked for a pair of hours both following the path on the top and on the beach at the bottom of the cliffs.
I know the flora and fauna are very peculiar in that island, but that day we were attracted only from the landscape, the milky sea (because the chalk, of course) and the pale colors around us.
Here a selection from the circa sixty shoots I made to klint. Enjoy.

This is… ...my personal site, created to share my hobby.
All the photos in this container are my own interpretation of the world in front of me.
Until now the results of my work were only for my closer friends, now all the guests have the possibility to see my photos.
I would be very glad to have comments, review and critics, and this new dress for my site is for that.
So, let's start to see MY GALLERIES...
