Scanned Film

I scanned a Fuji Velvia 50 Slide film and a Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film last week. Quite a revelation, especially for the latter, as it is my first ever B&W film...
I shot the slides on my Nikon F60, which has matrix metering and hence gives much better results light-wise. I shot the B&W on my Yashica GSN, which meters from the centre of the image and hence I got some over- and under-exposures... but I am still very happy with the results.
Enjoy and let me know what you think! ( If you leave your mouse over a photo, you should see the title ).

Autumn Sky

As you have probably gathered, relocation has taken its toll on my available time for photos. I am happy to say things are running more smoothly now, so should have more photos coming soon ( I have two unscanned films, a slide and a black-and-white waiting... :) ).
Here is the Athenian Sky, without any processing other than watermarking and reducing its size.

A walk through the Centre of Town

Athens, late August... The crowd is coming back from holidays, everyone is getting ready for winter, and I hate that... I went for a walk, trying to capture the last vibrant summer colours and reflections.

Three pics from the sky of Athens during last week's forest fires... What a pity... Warning, these are not "good" photos, just some quick snaps from a balcony.

Online Again!

Hi all, I am online again ( in Athens )! I spent a few days relaxing around the country, and here are a few pictures from my journey to Aetopetra, Zitsa, Paramythia, Trikala and Athens. Enjoy!

Relocating - Farewell to London

After seven years in the UK, I am relocating back to Greece! I am going to miss London, so I am celebrating the move with a few pictures of some London sunny days ( especially since it is raining outside... ). Enjoy!

Crazy yellow and purple!

Summer 2008

The summer holidays are just around the corner ( for me, at least ) and after two very busy weeks, I can start thinking about a more relaxed time! So, here is a teaser from last year's holidays/vacations in Paros, Greece. Enjoy!

Summer in London

The weather has been too nice the past few days to stay in and upload pictures! I am just adding two today to keep you on your toes ( although I snapped about 150 during yesterday's sunset ). More soon!

Marylebone Summer Fayre - 2009

Last Sunday I was at Marylebone, in central London, for the Summer Fayre that the neighbourhood holds annually. My friends from the Lykion ton Hellinidon dance group were dancing, and I snapped a few pics. I started from inside the offices, where I spotted some flowers. I also found a friend, Kalia - a great singer, browsing some books. Later on, the amazing dancing started, of which I am showing only a couple of details that caught my eye. We finished that part of the day around a table ( some crazy colours there ), having a good time! Enjoy!
Oh, can you spot the detail that really annoyed me in Kalia's photo?

A snapshot in the pizzeria, or some whacky colors?

Palermo

A few shots from a recent trip to Palermo. It was moody at night, and colourful by day. Very mysterious place, with a lot of charm.
I am going back in a few weeks' time, so will probably update this post in the near future. Enjoy!
