Otlu-Kaya Mountain in Crimea
October 2009, Otlu-Kaya Mountain, Koktebel Area, Crimea, Ukraine.
February 2010, Kurortnoye Village, Black Sea, Crimea, Ukraine.
Tomorrow I’ll fly to Kamchatka. We’ll spend there one month together with my workmate Andrew. Hope it’ll be interesting trip and of course I’ll plan to make some great landscape images. Volcanoes and bears are waiting for me. Before my departure I want to show you one of may favourite images from Crimea.
January 2010, Demergi Mountain, Crimea, Ukraine.
December 2009, Novyi Svet village, Crimea, Ukraine. This is Blue Bay in Novyi Svet village. After morning shooting I decided to go to it’s another side and look for sunset spot. I noticed this tree from far away and instantly thought: “That’s the goods!”. I love unusual trees. They are hard pressed in the mountains. And their appearance sometimes more expressive than any other words.
December 2009, Ai-Petri Mountain, Crimea, Ukraine. This is classic example of absolutely spontaneous and unexpected shot. Firstly my attention was attracted by amusing cloud. I made a shot. And I’ve got an image with amusing cloud. After that a small ship came to the frame. I made a shot again. And I’ve got an image with story. I love unexpected photographs. By the way, this image take third place in “Landscape” nomination of Russian photo contest “Best Photographer 2010″. And the same image was selected among other works from National Geographic photo contest by “The Big Picture” website. I think this is my most well-known and recognizable photograph. For the present I hope.
