Obsession with Castles, Palaces and... Ruins




Last weekend I traveled to “Pieskowa skala” (Pieskowa Rock) which is a

renaissance castle located 27 km north of Krakow, Poland, within the boundaries of the Ojc

ów National Park. The castle is built by King Casimir III The Great in the 1st half of the 14th century. As always I took my camera with me in search for the perfect shot...



On my way back to Warsaw I stopped by Ogrodzieniec a small town in the province of Silesia in southern Poland. The castles is from approximately the 14th century. This castle made a huge impression on me. A major problem I have experienced was that I did not take my tripod with me. Since I arrived there late (when the sun was setting) the light was getting worse by every minute. I realized one major shortcoming...I did not know how to take good shots at night. My hands were shaking and the pictures were getting blurred... I am definitively going to educate myself on this topic...I have a lot of castles still to visit...hopefully next shots will be better...


PS. Recently I have so many ideas of pictures that I barely can sleep at night... I wish I had an access to professional photographic studio....
