My Trip To Montenegro

Last week I had a chance to travel to Montenegro which I was very excited about. My destination was Budva. Budva is the centre of Montenegro's tourism and is well known for its sandy beaches, diverse nightlife and examples of Mediterranean architecture. The best known feature of the Budva Riviera is its beaches. There are many tourist boats that dock in Budva harbor which offer rides to nearby beaches, Sv. Nikola island, or one-day trips to various destinations on Montenegrin coast. Apart from its natural beauty, its bay islands and beaches, Budva is rich in historic monuments. Budva Old Town is truly lovely. Much of the architecture in the Old Town is of Venetian design. Here are some photos from this trip. Enjoy!

City Streets

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliott Erwitt

Fujifilm x100s Macro Mode Focus Issue

Few days ago I encountered a weird issue with my new Fujifilm x100s which I bought recently. I was quite upset, since the camera was brand new and I was not sure if it was just a bug in the firmware, or if something was wrong with the camera itself. A problem occurred when I tried to take some photos in macro mode through the electronic viewfinder. All of sudden the camera did not want to focus and became completely unresponsive and the warning message saying "turn off the camera and turn on again" appeared on the display.

Brothers

I had a great shoot with two lovely, polite boys who clearly enjoyed each other's company. Mohammad and Nodar are brothers and best friends. Mohammad is 8 and his brother is only 5 years old. They are both very active and full of energy and like to do everything together. Here are some selected session highlights.

My Fujifilm x100s Has Arrived Today!

My Fujifilm x100s has arrived today. Very nice! As I mentioned in my earlier posts the camera is great and I had a chance to test it even before the official launch of sales earlier this month in Dubai. Now there is a great new addition to my camera/gadget family. Here is a photo if you wonder what's in the box. I have also ordered additional batteries, filter and lens hood, but they are extras. Actually, (for Fujifilm) including the lens hood in the box would be great.
