Gatklettur rock arch in Iceland

Iceland is full of huge rock formations. This one is Gatklettur, aka the “Hellnar Arch”. A famous, naturally formed circular stone arch found between the villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. In the past you could even get down to the soar. It is forbidden now, probably it was dangerous because of […]

Reynisfjara black sand beach in Iceland

An iceberg at Diamond Beach in Iceland

Diamond beach in Iceland owns its name to the chunks of icebergs floating ashore which look exactly like diamonds on the black sand beach. Breiðamerkursandur is the icelandic name, but I think diamond beach is much easier to pronounce! An amazing place to visit. Combine it with a beautiful sunrise and it becomes magical! At […]

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 […]

A colourful sunset in Thessaloniki

This shot was taken in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, next to Saint Nicholas church (which obviously you can’t see in the photo). I was trying to find something interesting to shoot when I saw those rocks covered in green moss. Luckily the sunset was on my side and it gave me a colourful sky. After so many […]

The mark of time

This place is one of my favorites close to my home village. I really like how the waves have sculptured the base of this rock and how it stands alone in the middle. There is a Greek fish restaurant overlooking at this place called Villa Stasa. It’s food is great and the view is awesome. […]

An unexpected burning sky

Sometimes the weather has unexpected surprises for us photographers. This afternoon the sky was full of clouds. I had my camera set up but I didn’t expect much. All of a sudden a little opening appeared and the sky was painted red! It lasted only for a few minutes and although some dogs playing in the […]

Sit Next to Me

This photo was taken last February while I was biking at Thessaloniki next to the sea. The sunset was magnificent but I didn’t have my DSLR with me. Nexus 5 came to the rescue to catch those silhouettes and sunset colors! This photo was featured in 33 Stunning Photos Shot On Mobile Phones on 500px!

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.

As far as I remember myself I have always been int As far as I remember myself 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 together I can also photograph the stars and see the milky way in a way I couldn't image.

Two posts ago I mentioned that I was out trying to Two posts ago I mentioned that I was out trying to shoot the Perseids meteor shower but the sky got covered in clouds because of a thunderstorm. I packed my things up but didn’t return home. Instead I headed towards the opposite direction where the sky was clear. I managed to get one more shooting star along with the milky way core in one of my favorite locations in Chalkidiki. I was planning to shoot the milky way here for a long time now but there is a bar there whose lights never allowed me to do so. Well this summer was a bit different and all bars were closing early so I finally got the shot I wanted with a shooting star as a bonus!

That night I had no plans to go out and take photo 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 lightnings. There was a severe thunderstorm pretty far away. The place in the photo is somewhere at Larisa I believe (does anyone recognize it?), and I was at Chalkidiki. The distance was covered by the thunderstorm pretty quickly but I managed to get some shots!

The initial plan of the night was to enjoy and pho 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 lucky it didn’t come towards me but clouds started filling the sky. I managed to shoot a pretty big Perseid meteor and some smaller ones before the clouds filled my frame. In fact I think this was a much better result!
