Another Christmas Concert at Emanuel Church Galati

Sunday 18th of December a.c. the same people that were involved in that nice Christmas Concert at “Fane Tardini” Theater from Galati were performing at Emanuel Church. It was a great event, with very nice music and a refreshing message. Almost every attendee joined the musicians in singing Christmas Carols and it was a very pleasant evening. BTW if you wonder if I moved to Galati… the answer is no! At least not yet! As a special note, I went there without my top glass, my basic kit being D7000, Nikkor 10-24 f/3.5-4.5, Tamron 28-75/2.8 and Nikon 135/2.8 AI-S. Only by the end of the event I used one of the top notch lenses from Nikon: 135/2 AF-D DC.

Here you can see a gallery with other images from this event. Please use the arrows to navigate.

Proconsul in concert at Galati

On 7th December, the nice hall of Fani Tardini Theater from Galati hosted a concert involving Proconsul band. This event has been organised and hosted by Catalin Dupu, with an opening where Adriana Pascan interpreted several songs. Here are listed some pictures and afterwards I enclosed a gallery with some representative images from this interesting event. I used mostly Nikon 135/2 AF-D DC and as well a couple of manual focus primes like Voigtlander 40mm f/2 Color Skopar SLII. It was probably the worse light I dealt with in such as concert… so my D700 & D7000 cameras needed lot of tweakings to do the job.

Bulgarian Church of The Lord’s Ascension from Braila

One of the nicer Churches from my town is the so called Bulgarian Orthodox Church, built back in 1868. Braila use to have an important Bulgarian minority, once a very important place of Bulgarian diaspora. A major personality of Bulgarian people, the revolutionary Hristo Botev lived for a time here and this Church served as a base for his activity. I used to capture some nice images from this Church with Nikon 24/2.8 AI-S on D7000 and with Nikkor 14-24/2.8 on D700. Enjoy watching!

Folk Music Festival Chira Chiralina, Braila, nov.2011

First week-end of November, Braila hosted “Chira Chiralina” Folk Music Festival. Chira Chiralina is the name of a famous book of Panait Istrati, Romanian writer published in France in the first part of 20th Century. He was born in Braila from a Romanian mother and a Greek father.

It were several nights of very good music, very talented people competing to won the festival. Alongside were included several shows with a few famous Romanian singers like Andrei Paunescu, Victor Socaciu and Vasile Seicaru.

I’ve been there for two nights, shooting with D700 & D7000 and a selection of lenses, some with manual focus. I was delighted to use Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 AF-D, Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 AI-S, Nikkor 85mm f/2 AI-S and Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 AF-S VR I for most of the shooting situations. I was very impressed how well behaves D7000 with Nikon old glass. It’s a winning combo!
