Thundestorm at Loutra Agias Paraskevis

Usually when you see a thunderstorm coming you try to find shelter. That was not the case for me last summer. Three nights in a row when night was falling severe thunderstorms were hitting my area. So, I went out trying to get some photos before the thunderstorm was too close. In this photo you […]

Stargazing

I have always been intrigued by the night sky. A thing that I loved while spending my summers away from the city was that I could see the stars and the milky way. Till now, whenever I have the opportunity, I enjoy going out at night to view the milky way. By bringing my camera […]

Perseids Meteor Shower 2020

Although a thunderstorm ruined my initial plan to photograph the Perseids meteor shower I didn’t give up. I packed up my things but didn’t return home. Instead I headed towards the opposite direction where the sky was clear in order to try and photograph the Perseids. I managed to get one more shooting star along […]

A thunder hitting the ground

That night I had no plans to go out and take photos. However when I saw the sky getting illuminated by lightnings I couldn’t resist. I grabbed my camera, jumped into my car and headed towards the thunderstorm. There was a severe electrical storm pretty far away. Here you can see the area of Pelion […]

A thunderstorm and a Perseid meteor

The initial plan of the night was to enjoy and photograph the Perseids meteor shower. Beforehand I had calculated the radiant so I knew exactly where I had to point my camera. But the weather had an amazing surprise. After a while a thunderstorm broke out over the city of Marmaras at Sithonia. I was […]

Star trails over tree silhouettes

Spending some hours watching the sunset and the starry sky on a warm summer night is always relaxing. Last summer while I was watching the sun setting behind the trees I thought to set up my camera and let it roll for a couple of hours besides me to photograph the rising stars. A few […]

Star trails over Vourvourou

Sithonia is becoming my favourite summer destination in Chalkidiki, Greece. Find an amazing view, leave your camera shooting and relax watching the stars in the night sky. And in the next morning choose one of the many amazing beaches to go for a swim! For this photo I shot around 100 images and combined them […]

Lost in space

This shipwreck is located in Epanomi next to Thessaloniki, Greece. It sank around 1970 and it has been there ever since. The shipwreck is very close to the beach and you can even swim close to it and do some snorkeling. This summer night was perfect for shooting the milky way and the stars. Oh, […]

An old boat under the milky way

This old fisherman’s boat is somewhere in Kalohori, next to Thessaloniki, Greece. Our plan was to spend some hours under the summer night sky shooting star trails and the milky way. However we were “attacked” by hundreds if not thousands of mosquitoes! Instead we spent the time in our car letting our cameras do the […]

Today, 50 years later, there is a lunar eclipse visible only partially from Europe. However the sky is full of clouds and it […]

Blooming lavender fields create a wonderful visual Blooming lavender fields create a wonderful visual experience when they are at their peak. Thus Provence in France has been in my bucket photography list for quite some time now. Last year, when I learned that there were some lavender fields very close to where I live I couldn’t miss the opportunity. Along with @vlachos_giorgos, a friend and fellow photographer, we explored the area of Mesimeri, close to the city of Thessaloniki, trying to find a nice field with purple lavender flowers. This field with a lonely tree seemed perfect. At the background you can also distinguish Olympus mountain. The weather was at our side and the sunset filled the sky with beautiful purple and pink tones!

This waterfall could easily be a tourist attractio This waterfall could easily be a tourist attraction in many countries all over the world. In Iceland it is just another waterfall you see while driving. We were lucky there was a place to park our car relatively close so we inevitably stopped to get a quick photo. Besides the light was wonderful, we had no other option! We couldn’t get closer though since it was on private property!

Oxararfoss is the first waterfall usually a visito Oxararfoss is the first waterfall usually a visitor sees when driving the Golden Circle. Although it is a relatively small waterfall with a height of around 20 meters it is a nice stop before heading over to the much more epic Gullfoss. It is located in Pingvellir National Park and you get there after a short hike. An impressive fact is that it is a human made waterfall created in the 9th century! Another interesting fact is that Almannagjá gorge, which you walk through to get to the waterfall, marks the eastern boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates!

Vestrahorn mountain in the Stokksnes Peninsula of Vestrahorn mountain in the Stokksnes Peninsula of Iceland is such a beautiful and epic location. We visited this place twice despite having to pay an entrance fee since it is a private location! We were paid back by an amazing sunset, which you can see here, and an amazing sunrise which you can see in a previous post of mine.

This is a small village named Agia Paraskevi locat This is a small village named Agia Paraskevi located at Chalkidiki. I was going back home from shooting the milky way at another location when I thought to stop here and give a try at this shot I had in my mind for a long time now. It came out pretty decent but I think I’ll have to come back again when the milky way is at a better position.
