Gagala News

The difference between a professional photographer and an amateur like me is that a professional plans each shot. He explores the area, knowing which plants have which colors in every season. He knows the times of sunrise and sunset. If it doesn't fit, he returns to the landscape he wants to photograph as many times as necessary until everything fits: the season, the time, the position of the sun, the weather, and the position. He takes several shots. He doesn't have to edit any photographs, although some do. On the other hand, there's someone like me who took a camera by chance and shoots whatever he likes when he sees it. I came to a place where fog rushed by like a fast train close to a mountaintop. The wind unveiled the landscape for a few minutes, so I took some pictures. I couldn't take any more; it was freezing on that mountain, and my fingers got stiff. I hope to go back when there is more greenery or when it's covered in snow. Half an hour later, all the fog had disappeared.

It's been a few days since I took these pictures, but I just got around to editing them. These are the last shots I took this fall, unfortunately I couldn't get out of the house in time to drive around and find some nice motifs (I just can't afford it anymore). Maybe winter will bring some better opportunities.

It's my car's B-day, 20 years on the road. I bought it used in 2016 and it still runs great. It's making some new noises now, and the "stainless steel" muffler is starting to rust, the paint is peeling, and I can't afford new tires for this coming winter, but it still reliably starts when I need it. So far, I've only had one major repair that cost more than I paid for the car when I bought it. Thank you, my little French friend, for getting me this far, and may you go many, many miles without a breakdown for a long, long time. It's unthinkable that something bad would happen to it, I don't have the money for a new one.

Thanks to all my supporters for my livelihood, so I can still be on the road with Baby Blue, even if it's just once or twice a week.

P.S. a few new shots at Gagaland.

Last Thursday the battery of my car was empty, so I was late at the supermarket and I forgot my cooler, I couldn't buy dairy or frozen food, then I went to a place I hadn't been before, but there were too many tourists and the area is too big for me to walk, I didn't get far enough. When I finally get a pedelec, I will go back. The area is called Schanze Forest Reserve and is a protected area, you are not even allowed to pick berries there, too bad that nobody controls such things. But if you choose the right path, you can still find peaceful and quiet places (except for the jet planes above). I only took a few pictures, you can see them at GAGALAND in 4k for free.

Last Thursday I was able to take some new pictures. If you are interested in landscape and nature photography, welcome to GAGALAND, 4k shots for free.

Right after shopping at the supermarket and having a cup of coffee at the bakery, I drove to this beautiful place. It's on the other side of the mountain, where I was two weeks ago, but this time it was hot as hell, summer has arrived. The sky was dull (which means nearly no clouds, which is boring for me), the wonderful fluffy clouds came too late, see the last picture at GAGALAND (shot after I was back in my apartment, totally exhausted).
