Hello everyone. How to Start ... Photo! Video. My hobby is photography and video. General. Photo is in my first place! Mother Nature is a great inspiration to me. The greatest treasure. Plants. Animals. Insects! The world of insects is particularly delighted. They specifically fill me. They give me love. Tenderness. Heat. And hope! For better tomorrow. Same as the photo itself. But what is the lens really? I think the lens is secondary. The lens is 'assistant'. Maybe I'm wrong. I do not know. In a way, photography is my life! My best friend! Camera or not. It's not important at all. Real photos come from the depths of the soul. That should live! To live for that moment! But what is a photo ?! What does she actually show? She shows life! It shows reality! The photo shows 'means to live'! She proves to us. The main evidence. And reality ?! All that surrounds us? Have you ever wondered: Where am I ?! If reality is someone's dream, and photography is a reality, how can we photograph the reality ?! Illusion? Imagination?! Parallel Realities? Maybe life is a 'picture on the move'! I think the camera is in one dimension, and we are in another. About. What is between lens and nature? !!! Between the lens and the 'reality'? I'm just wondering. Maybe God ?! Something else? (...) I like to experiment. In the photo, of course! I love the so-called 'dark' photos. Those photos that show space! At some different time. 'Space' at some other time. The area between reality and imagination. Between knowledge and superstition. Space between light and shadow. Photos from some other dimension. I have recorded several such photographs. Same as events in the misty and dark "zone"! TWILIGHT ZONE!!! Sometimes it is necessary to go there. Traveling over time! Again: what is a photo ?! (...) Yes. I love insects very much! I love watching them! Mantis. Bee. Ant. Butterfly. And others. Each insect is special. European hornet! He gave me five wonderful photos! He was on twig lilac! Without using optical and digital zoom. An unforgettable moment. But I survived and his sting! Long ago. In 2013, at work. I love him especially! His sting is like a cure! The European hornet is the forerunner of all my pictures. And the first bee on the dandelion! Very dear photos of me. Special natural harmony. Mantis? An insect very similar to man. Movement. Behavior. Insect for observation. Faithful attention. And so on ... (...) Photo is for me a life. She fills me. My best friend! Small lens. Small sensor. Great wish! Great will! Hope and love. Great things on ... on Earth? Really? Lens is God. In one sense. (...) In this text there are many unclear things. For understanding. There are some things that are confusing in the text. 'Be confused' means to understand. The 'mistakes' I deliberately did in the text. Deliberately. Life is unclear. Some photos are difficult to understand. I say, 'some' photos. (...) The sand clock turns. Still going on. (Excuse me for my bad English language.)
