Santorini Island in Greece

November 11, 2008 7 comments

This summer I had luck to visit one of the most beautiful places in the world – Santorini Island. I was shocked when I saw that incredible view when I step out of the boat. Thousands white-blue, small houses where sitting on the edge of high, rocky, lava, mountain.

This summer I had luck to visit one of the most beautiful places in the world – Santorini Island. I was shocked when I saw that incredible view when I step out of the boat. Thousands white-blue, small houses where sitting on the edge of high, rocky, lava, mountain.

Local people told me a three legend about this island. First: In this island there is more whine then water. Second: In this island there is more church then living houses. Third: In this island lives more donkeys then citizens. And the funny thing is that all three legends are true I assured that when I was walking in town Oia and town Thira. I have spend there whole day, but it felt like one hour. If you ever gone visit Santorini don’t leave it without trying Santorini salads with Visento wine and seeing a sunset. Sweetness of wine and taste of food will lift you till heaven, and incredible view of sunset you will remember all your live.

  • Spinalonga Island

    Spinalonga Island Spinalonga is a Spinalonga island - tiny dot of land and Cretan sea guarder! It's an island situated in the Bay of Elounda. The history of the name 'Spinalonga' is in itself subject to conjecture but it is widely accepted that its roots lie somewhere in the Olous, Olondi, Elounda location and the words meaning long and thorn. Spinalonga is actually the name of the sizeable but slender peninsula and on maps the small island is identifiable by the name Kalidon.

    Greek islands is propably one of the few regions in the whole world where Lomography can't give tha extra emotion it usually gives in it's photos. I saw your photos, some of them are really nice, but honestly, dou you think you captured the very soul of this island? Did you capture the absolute white of the buildings, the absolute blue of the sea and the sky or the magical orange coloured wall painted by the sunset? I don't think so, Lomography can actually make things look better, but when it comes to pure beauty ... all you need is reality, not an altered version of it...

    I love the x-pro pictures! For me they underline the beauty of the Greek Islands! Sure you could've taken a normal film and then show the "real" blue, white, green, orange. But I like it more like this, in x-pro

Use Two 110 Films on a 35mm Camera for Crazy Awesome Shots So there are a lot of tipsters and hacks on the web for using 35mm film on different format cameras, so I went and tried using 110 on a 35mm camera, and this is pretty much what I got on my first try. It’s a bit of a process, but it’s also lots of fun, then again, what in Lomography isn't?
