Night time traffic at the junction of Zgierska street,the Wojska Polskiego Street (Polish Army Street) and the Church Square (Plac Kościelny) with the Gothic-revival church of the assumption of St Marry. Place of the historical importance of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto - the place where the wooden bridge was built. The bridge was to link two parts of the ghetto over the Zgierska Street, that was excluded of the ghetto for the transit traffic (only the sidewalks and the houses were in the ghetto while the street road itself was behind the fence). The place where the bridge was placed is whole right side of the photo (almost from the centre). This place haven’t changed much. Camera: Samsung GX10.

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

Poland, Lodz, Church Square and Zgierska Street. Church under call of Assumption of Holy Mary (kościół pod wezwaniem wniebowstąpienia najświętszej Maryi panny). The church stands in the middle of the old town, on the top of so called Church hill just 5 minutes of walk from the valley of Lodka river that is now Park Staromiejski (you can find photo of it on my photoblog). Parish in Lodz was erected at the end of 14th century but the church in neo-Gothic style was opened in 1897, replacing the older wooden structure, that was moved to Ogrodowa Street. Church enclosure that rise above the street level is the old cemetery, but all graves (except one) was removed.
This photo (both in colour and black and whit version) is an effect of a night shooting exercise. Camera: Samsung GX10, (Focal lenght: 26mm, F4.5 ISO 100), Lens: Schneider Kreuznach.

The Moon also known as Luna, Maan (Moon etc. in Germanic languages), and in Slavonic languages is called Miesiąc (old Polish), Mesec, Mjesec (and other similar forms in other Slavonic tongues) and Ghealach (Scots Gaelic) and Gealach (in Irish). It is winter and it is very cold in Poland so the night sky is so clear (unless is cloudy) and it is the best time for shots of the sky. I know that photos of the moon are quite popular and they are almost the same always (the moon doesn’t change, it is always the same), but I have a great fun with the new lens (Sigma 70-300 F4-5.6 APO DG Macro) for my camera (Samsung GX10) so I just wanted to see the impact craters on the surface of the moon. I hope you like it.
