Charity Print Auctions for Haiti

Monday, January 18, 2010

I’ve just posted one of my photos on the Flickr group named Charity Print Auctions for Haiti. The idea is simple: anyone can put a photo in the group and people can bid on a print of it. The winner will pay the sum to a charity for Haiti and will get a print of the picture, sent by the photographer.

The rules from the group:

  1. We want people to offer just one image to be printed as an art print.
  2. Then invite people to bid in the comments. The highest bidder on the set date will win the auction and the print.
  3. The photographer will pay for the print to be produced and postage to the winning bidder.
  4. The winning bidder will go and donate their winning amount to the specified charity and take a screen grab of the confirmation of their donation and email to the photographer for proof that they’ve paid.

And this is the photo I decided to put:

My new reflex: Nikon D3000

Finally, after long long time I was thinking to, I decided to buy a reflex camera: in the battle Canon vs. Nikon I decided to choose the second, since I had already a compact camera which made me very happy. My choice was the Nikon D3000: still have to learn how to manage the thousands features it offers, I am already happy by the quality of the camera – and the big difference from a compact one.

I’ve also made a set in Flickr called Photo Experiments where I will put some weird/nice/experimental shots. You can see the pictures below or take a look at my Flickr page to see more.

Flickr “Your best shot 2009„

Sunday, December 6, 2009

I decided to post one of my photos in the Flickr group Your best shot 2009: I did hundreds of photos this year, but I like very much one of them in particular. I took it while I was in Shio Mghvime, a monastery in Georgia. Here is my shot:
