Some day I will have a fully featured cine camera got in my hands, and guess what - I have to be ready for taking scenes right away, no time for experiments, tests or 7:3 frame adaptation, so this is a good training session for me :-)
In fact, I love panoramas: one might pack a single panoramic shot with horizontally layered separate events so much that each picture of such grows into an independent work that needs a special focus on it.
I do thank for the opportunity to take these ones, my Ukrainian friends, special thanks to Oleg Golovatskiy and Vladimir Shurubura for an incredible and decidedly unforgetable Ukrainian holidays! To figure out where does these pictures come from see way more stuff from the vacation here on MyWed.

Seminar and Workshop in Kiev, Ukraine, on October 14 '08
I just want to say thank you, Kiev, for such warm welcoming and fantastic hospitality. Perhaps, that was just a coincidence - stunning weather, stunning models, attentive organizers, talented audience, beautiful venues... etc. But no - too many points made me think it was a trend. It was stunning Kiev all in all, with every stunning part of it.
I was pretty much flattered to have some top Ukrainian photogs attended the event. And it grows the more flattering as times goes by and I later find my pains and efforts having rubbed off on their pictures in their own unique way. Highly talented guys they are! That's when final satisfaction comes and I perceive - it was not for nothing, really.
Hope to be back in spring with some world-famous peers there. And that is going to be a good surprise for Ukranians! Check out some stuff I've done during the workshop.

Недавно (14 октября) провел семинар и мастер-класс в Киеве. Слишком много положительных эмоций наводят на мысль о том, что никакое это не совпадение: хорошая погода, красивые модели, теплый прием, внимательные слушатели и прочее... Это такой хороший Киев сам по себе :) Теперь понятно, почему многие мои друзья так часто отправляются на "киевские каникулы". Успел поесть простой украинской кухни - не ожидал, (хотя и слышал не один раз, про то как украинцы любят вкусно покушать) что этонастолько вкусно! Успел сходить к стоматологу, побывать на Майдане и Крещатике, почти поучаствовал в противостоянии восточной и западной Украины. Обошлось без жертв! :))
Благодарю всех присутствовавших на семнаре, особое спасибо Дану Хечо за слаженную организацию и заботу в течение всех пяти дней пребывания! Очень надеюсь приехать в следующем году и поделиться еще большим опытом и секретами.
















A few of backstage shots. The guys indulged me with lots of pictures of mine and now I do realize I don't have to flourish arms that much lol.
