When you pitch a tent next to a view like that, the job is stupidly simple: crawl out at 6 AM, take the shot, crawl back in. The real problem is trying to fall asleep again after a sunrise like that hits you in the face.

Miss those misty mornings. Haven’t dragged myself out for a proper mountain sunrise in too long. Need to toughen up and get back to it. 😅

I overcooked the skies here, my bad. Still, I can’t bring myself to re-edit this one. It’s one of my earliest works (from 2017) and it has become a dear memory despite the flaws. I remember how proud I was when I saw the before and after image. Felt like I had become a photoshop wizard. 😂 You won’t believe how bad I managed to capture this one in the RAW file. 🫣

A remote beach in Greece. One of the few shots in my portfolio made outside Bulgaria. I just loved the simplicity of this one.

This one goes great while listening to Enya - The Humming 🎧

This one I captured with a phone camera, so I don’t sell it for sats (not enough resolution for a large print). Still I like how it turned out. Do you agree?

Fall photography is officially over for 2025. We’re now in the shadow zone of fog photography (sitting between fall and winter). Hopefully I can produce some fog shots soon. Stay tuned. ✌️

I’ve been sitting on this shot for a while. Took it at the end of summer and was pretty hyped about it, but when I finally pulled it off the SD card and into the tablet… nothing. I kept opening it, staring at it, closing it again. Modern cameras nail detail but butcher colour. Compared to your eyes, they’re hopeless at rendering anything natural, and that gets painfully obvious with vibrant scenes like this one. I still remember how absurdly saturated the purple sky looked when the last light hit the clouds. The RAW, meanwhile, looked flat and washed out. So I got stuck: how far do you push a file to match what you actually saw? Push too hard and it looks fake. Hold back and the moment gets undersold. I’m still not sure this version is “final.” Feels like it’s missing a bit of punch. Not sure yet. What do you think?

GM from the fiat mines. Wish I was here instead.
