Ireland, Carlow Rally2007. Rally organised on the country roads of county Carlow. Despite of the fact that I have a big collection of photos taken during that rally, it was not my intention to show all of them but to play for a while with new Adobe Photoshop CS 3. I got legal/original Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows and just a few days ago I changed the platform and moved from PC and Win XP to iMac and Mac OS X Leopard. On one of the DVDs of .PSD magazine I found trial version of PS CS3 and decided to install it on my Mac. In a forthcoming weeks I will call my Adobe reseller and I will ask them for Photoshop Upgrade to CS3 but also from my PS CS2 for Windows to PS CS3 for Mac. I hope that such kind of upgrade is possible. If not, then I must install Windows XP on Bootcamp or Parallels and then my Photoshop CS2 for Windows on it. If you know anything about possibility of such upgrade, please let me know.
As for the photo of that car. I have just moved all my PSD files from PC to Mac, and just opened one of them in PS CS3 to play a little bit with Photoshop for Mac. PSD file was created in my Photoshop CS2. Camera: Konica Minolta A1 DiMage

I have more experience in photography of landscapes than photography of people. Having no photo atelier to practise in studio photography I am improvising at home with help of my wife as a model. This photo was taken in our bedroom in the daylight and with addition of 2 desk lamps and white door as a big blende. Camera: Samsung GX 10, lens: Schneider Kreuznach 17 - 55mm.

Lodz at night, view from my window

This is a view from the window of my apartment in Lodz (Łódź), Poland. THe view itself is nothing special, just couple of trees, and the roofs of the surrounding buildings. Despite of that, last night was very bright (due to the moon) and the wind was strong. Clouds were moving fast so I didn’t hesitate. I grab the tripod and camera and took some photos. Night photography is exciting. Camera: Samsung GX 10, Lens: kit Schneider Kreuznach 18-55 mm f3.5 -5.6

Have you ran out of petrol?

Have you ran out of petrol? Petrol station in Kilaloe, North Tipperary, Ireland, camera: Konica Minolta A1 DiMage, photo: Krystian Kozerawski, www.kozerawski.com

September 2006, Kilaloe (on Shannon River), North Tipperary, Ireland, old petrol station on the street in the middle of the town. The small old petrol stations in Ireland are lovely. I dare say they have soul instead of the big modern shiny stations made of steel, glass and plastic. I hope they will survive as a symbols of the past. Camera: Konica Minolta A1 DiMage
