Rebeca's Portrait in Winter

Today I wanted to publish some portrait series. These images were taken on the first day of this year somewhere close Cluj Napoca. It was a sunny morning with snow and temperatures bellow - 15 degrees. The light was awesome. I hope you will enjoy seeing these images. The girl's name is Rebeca.
Gear: Canon 450 D with Canon 50mm 1.8 and 17-85 mm.

Horses

Today I remembered about nice time I had last year when I was in Suncuius with my brothers and other friends. There I saw lots of horses but I only photographed this one. He/she was pretty, don't you think?

This image I took in Baile 1 Mai in a place where you can ride the horses. The image I modified a little bit as many would notice. I added a blue sky, just for fun :) Hope you enjoy it too.

Spring around Sibiu in 2012

Today I remembered about last spring of 2012 when I spent few days with very good friends and my brother in Sibiu, Romania.
It was an excellent day. It was sunny, windy, a lot of contrast between the snow and grass, trees and a nice blue sky. It was actually in first days of May. We went on a trip in Cindrel Mountains, varful Batranei. It was my first time when I saw so many spring crocuses and on a mountain with snow background. Ah, it was like in my dreams. I believe that any photographer wants to catch a moment like that. So enjoy seeing my images that I selected from that day.

This dog followed us along our path. Maybe he was hungry.

Well, if you enjoyed viewing this images leave a comment and say what you liked the most. As well don't forget about sharing with your friends :)

Few photos from autumn of 2012 in Oradea

Today I decided to share with you some of my photos I took in last autumn. It was a sunny day so I said to myself: 'let's make some memories'. In fact I have really more images of the city but today I choose only 7 of them. They were all taken with my Canon 450D + Canon 17-85 mm lens. For some of them I used also a CPL filter.

This is now the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy. Many foreign students are coming here in Romania to study Medicine ;) That means for me that is a good faculty, isn't it? What was even more interesting is that in this building actually it was a hundred years ago(or maybe more) the center of a market. :)

Old house waiting for spring

Well, here it is my first image to post. I must admit that I lost a lot of time spending for set my watermark :) Hope that is not so annoying. If so tell me. I change it. But tell me some other ideas.
All right so as I made today my first ride in almost spring(few days till real spring) I have seen this lonely abandoned house. Hope that you like it. I live in Oradea and this house is close to Crisul Repede, 8 km from city.

First post here on this blog

Hi there,
this is going to be my first post on this blog: http://adrian-alexa.blogspot.ro/ . My name is Adrian Alexa and I am from Oradea, Romania. I am 25 years old. I work as a web developer. Photography is my hobby.

Even though I am a Romanian I will write my posts in English only. I may say that my English is not an excellent one, I might make grammar mistakes or expressions, words, phrasing. However I will try not. I will also appreciate your corrections, especially if they are well addressed. I decided to start writing posts in English so I will improve my English, also.
I can say that I can't find a date when suddenly I became in love with photography but I was attached to it since my childhood. I wished to have a camera since I was a kid but did not have the possibility to buy one.
However by God's grace in 2005 in my summer holiday I worked part time, gain some money and there I was :) My first camera: Nikon Coolpix 4100. It was an excellent one. I have lots of memories. I can not tell you now. Making shorter the story, my second camera was a Canon S5 IS. Again great memories, they all helped me to learn a lot of photography. I can not say that now I am a professionist, but I learned a little.
Continuing my story, in 2010 I bought my last camera for now: Canon 450D with a kit lens 18-55mm. I also bought a 17-85 mm IS. Lately a 50 mm 1.8 and a Canon 430EX II Speedlite. This is my gear for the moment. I decided to buy them all as used products. It is indeed a big decision to buy a new or used camera/lens. So far I had just a small issue with my lens 17-85 mm but it was solved.
So, what I am going to write here? As I like very much nature photography, landscapes and other categories I will want to post them here occasionally. I want to share my creation. Why? The answer is why should I keep pictures only on my hard drive :) ?
Stay close and until my next post be well. I will have to decide which images to be my first series.
