I know that everybody is eagerly waiting for new photos from my recent trip to USA but you will have to wait a bit longer. I have a lot of work with my new site and believe me, it is worth the wait Meanwhile I also have to study for exams. I am also building travel photography section on this blog, so every trip or travel expedition I have been on (and will be) will be covered there. Once complete it is going to be great Enough with stuff that isn´t here yet. I will be posting some new photos from Hawaii here on my blog soon.

For today I have chosen the photo “Friendly Shark” which was shot when I visited Aquarium on MAUI, Hawaii. They have an underground “show room” for the biggest fish tank they have there, so you can see through a big wall of glass. There are a few species of sharks in it, sting rays and some other big fish. There were mainly families with children and as soon as I saw kids in front of that big window and sharks swimming by I knew that is going to be The Shot! I was there quite some time until I got the shot I wanted. It is probably one of my best photos from Hawaii or it might be also one of the best photos that I have. It shows children how curious they are and are just speechless watching this big animals. It so interesting that nobody was scared of them. That´s it…until next time….hope you like the photo!

Here is my first attempt to shot a short video with the new EOS 5D mkII. I have no idea around video and editing so this was just for fun and to see how useful is the new video mode. I think that with practice you could get some really nice things on “tape”. The movie is downsized, however you can see it in larger resolution on this link.

…or Siberian Tiger. I was in Ljubljana ZOO today to check them out. I also wanted to play around with the new video mode on 5D mkII. I must say that the ISO performance on the new 5D is just stunning! All the photos were shot at ISO1600.

The name should say it all. The beach is located on Phi Phi Don island. I stopped at Monkey Beach when I was traveling around the islands. You must watch out because the monkeys can bite you. After you have fed the monkeys with bananas don’t be surprised if they jump on you wanting more food, trust me I have seen it. They are also very intelligent, they will take stuff out of your backpack if you leave it lying on the beach.

…I really like this shot…
