Kasbah

Fortified villages with their magnificent views made me breathless. Of course there are many in Morocco, but Ait ben Haddou is the most beautiful and it is included in Unesco world heritage.
Many movies and other spots were made near this site.

That part of Morocco is like a movie studio outside as there are many places similar to some famous sites, but their only purpose is using to record movies. One such example is a Kasbah which is just 10 miles away from Ait ben Haddou. 

 Both images were shot during golden hour, first just after sunrise and second just after sunset.

Again at alpine lake in northern Italy

Another shot from Predil lake, hour was still very early, but few steps in each direction opened new magnificent views of little lake!

Final results were worth of night without sleep, but there was still few hours of driving home, which were not the prettiest, as I was very tired. But at the end the final result counts.

Turn around

I was hoping to repeat the previous trip and to make some great HDRs, but shortly after start I realized that places I was headed to were in severe storms. I turned around and went to another location to mount Nanos where I had this spectacular view of st. Jerome church on the mountain and Vipava valley.

Some times it is good to give up first plans and use backup.

The trip

Sometimes the trip is the purpose.

Yesterday as weather was horrible I took the trip to a mountain plateau just to discover new spots worth of taking photos. 

I drove for about 4 hours and made a 100 miles lap, I wasn't very fast driver though. 

All the time there was a hard rain so I could not leave the car, but I spotted some great spots to photograph and I ll repeat the trip few times till the end of May, because those places were so beautiful you cant imagine. 

So scouting for places is also a part of photography, especially if you don't want to hang on some place waiting for golden hour or coming to a place too late.

Ancient bridge in Vipava

I really like bridges... of course only old and beautiful ones. Yesterday as I had few minutes of time I went to one that I saw last weekend and It impressed me.

For shots like this fishing boots will be necessary as we must go to middle of the river. And check the depth of water before plunging in.

I had some doubts about quality of image as river flow was pretty strong and tripod was shaking a bit, but image turned out very good and sharp, even though exposure times were long.

As I was waiting for streetlights to turn on some clouds slided over sky and made the shot even more interesting.
