Welcome to my Blog!

Hi!

My name is Konrad Dziedzic, and I'm a "techie with photographer's soul" ;-)

My professional background is strongly tied to the world of IT, but my true passion has always been for photography. Having a predominantly left-brained kind of job, I try to use the time off from work to realise my passion and enjoy having a little bit of art in my life.

I hope you'll enjoy following this blog, I'll do my best to keep it updated with my latest photos, accounts of my journeys and everyday struggles.

Oh, and if you find my surname unpronounceable, just call me Konfral!

Stay tuned

Day Fifty

Day Fifty!

050/365 – 2010-02-19

So far, the 365 proves to be a constant battle with being too tired after work, to do some “proper” photography…
Hopefully with the arrival of Spring, I’ll get more energetic.
It’s day 50, and I pretty much shot a close up of every item at home.
I hope Spring comes soon.

BTW, one day, I’ll be as good at light painting as Hobsonish ;-)

Do you sometimes feel imprisoned by your hobby? Pressured to get the latest, greatest, widest, sharpest, fastest and most megapixeled?
I sometimes do…

Disclaimer: …nothing against Nikon, just happened to dominate the scene

044/365 – 2010-02-13

I spent most of the day in bed… got some bitter cold, which is driving me nuts.
I hate feeling miserable like that :-(

BTW, the idea for this shot is borrowed from LorenLemon, please see her take (with much nicer legs ;-) )

Behind the scenes on location

A great little video from Mark Newton about his recent fashion shoot on the muddy tidal areas of Kent.
Thumbs up for the models to enduring the weather conditions in rather modest layers of clothes!

It was a great week!

We had a wonderful time away. Most of the week spent skiing, and enjoying winter scenery.

Can you see the frost on my moustache? The temperature that day was a “cosy” -19C, and fell to -27C during the night.

If I could change one thing, I would send all the other people from the ski lift queue… somewhere else ;-)

I will be away from civilization for over a week. I’ll keep shooting the 365 photos, but I’ll post them after I come back in early Feb.
See you all then!
