My country collects ‘pearls’ impossible to see anywhere around the world, or at least I didn’t found similar yet. (not that I am looking for them)

January 27, 2019Lake Bled on a solstice day
Pearl of Alps, Bled, Slovenia
In 2017 I have decided to do a landscape photography project about Gorenjska Region.
A long term project, shooting Slovenian pearls only on a strategic dates, moments.
Lake Bled was one of the priorities on my list.
I checked the date of solstice, waited for everybody to go to sleep and only than I packed up my gear, drove to lake Bled and spend the night by it.
Shooting alone all night can be a long one, so I brought a company- photographer mr. Uroš Abram to join me overnight. Perfect decision!
I am avoiding tourism as much as possible, that is why I am usually photographing long exposures at night.
When shooting landscapes I prefer quietness so I can synchronise with my camera.
Correlations between camera, emotions and thoughts are boundless.
Golden sunset wished me goodnight and disappeared under the pink cloth of clouds.
In the morning greeted with a golden sunrise behind the mountains.
I remember sky glowing in all sorts of colors. It was around 3.40PM, but felt much earlier.
Vivid colors on the sky were painting the clouds above church Bled till 8.00PM when I packed my gear and went to Vila Prešeren where I got my usual cop of black coffee.
Call it a successful night!
Infotech…
