HAMMAMM BAIIR : an educational photography lesson 

It was a lovely hot evening on the 28th of may 2013, when birds are flying, bees are humming and trees are blooming, when people are so in love, that you just forget to switch off your camera and just make photos and make them on and on. I was sitting in my facebook.com profile Asyaattours Websitee, when I saw him -Krasi- a friend I was going to make a photo-tour with, that we have been trying to arrange since many days. So we had a chat and then we met in front of his block of flats.

It was after 8:00 p.m., so the twilight was getting dense. We drove out to Hammamm Baiir -a small hillock above Sliven with a memmorial on top, devoted to the men died in the revolution for the independance  and libeartion of Bulgaria when under the Ottoman Yoke. So we were there with an easel, a professional Nicon 5000 webcamera, that he said was very proper for educating of beginners like me.

We put the stand on a place and fixed the camera. What I remember as he spoke about the shooting with his camera at that time was that:

1. When you make photos at twilight you should use a diaphragm, that is having greater range, so that it helps the camera-eye to gather much more light.

2. When you make photos at twilight , just use a higher ISO number, so that the photo is lighter and gains much light.

3. When you make photos at twilight use always a stand/easel, so that you are sure the camera is not going to smash the photo if you tremble with your hands.

This art is associated with the power and success of Ancient Greece and their v......
