For my dad, Izold Pustylnik : ***********************************************************************************************************
I: Dad, why we are not following rules written in Old Testament?
He: Why should I live as was written 5000+ years ago, if after this time civilization created so many great things?
************************************************************************************************************
He:  Intresting, from population of 6 billions living in World, only 10,000 are pushing progress by leading scientific research.
***********************************************************************************************************
He: For adult man the is no such thing as age… (Don’t use it as an excuse)
***********************************************************************************************************
He: It was language and communication skills that made our ancestors become humans. 
Transition was incredibly rapid.
***********************************************************************************************************

This album is dedicated for my father who passed away on 05/02/08.
Izold Pustylnik was a very intellectual person, and a good father.
He was born in pre-WWII Odessa, USSR, in 1938.
During difficult years of war he and his mom were evacuated to the Caspian Sea area.
They had to move to new destinations every couple months to escape from Nazis.
After the war their returned to hometown to find out they had no place to live.
However, life went on. Izold finished high school in 1954 with silver medal.
In 1960 he graduated cum laude from Odessa University as an astronomer.
In 1962 Izold started working at Tyravere Observatory, where he had been working till his last day.
He had more than 200 scientific publications in astrophysics and astronomy.

Southern Estonia early spring 2008 : Here are photos from early spring 2008 made in southern part of Estonia.
 Estonia is small independant country located across Baltic Sea from Finland. Population is less then 1.5 million. Being located near Russia's border this country has been in the middle of battles and under multiple powers. More info could be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonia
Country where I lived first 29 years of my life welcomed me with regular cloudy, semi-cloudy and soggy weather. What I was pleased to see - harmony between new and old. New colorful supermarkets and old buildings located in same city blocks. People are same friendly as before.
I had no time to visit Tallinn. Images shown here were made in Tartu( second city by population), in Elva, places called Illi, Peedu, Mosina.

KonicaMinolta 7D first week testing : Camera design is superior. Very convinient for user. Many external buttons are allowing to change almost any setting with a second.
Also Anti Shake of camera body is working very effectivelly, and I was able to get terrific results even at 300mm focal lenth without tripod in dim lighting (look at images N10,11 and 12).

Every image uploaded is original, with EXIF data visible for you.

Older 3500xi external flash doesn't work properly with this body. Overexposed images in this album are showing it.

Most cheap lens that I had in my backpak - Quantaray 28-90mm f/3.5- 5.6 is not working with this camera. Body simply dosn't see it. Giving "No Lens Attached" error.. :)

However AF Macro tubes are working fine!!!! Hurrah!

I didn’t use RAW here and not “extra fine JPG”. 
All portraits with handheld camera, higher ISO, without flash (I don’t like any flash).
Kayakers made with 70-300mm Sigma DL but with AntiShake enabled.
Macros of flowers made with Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens and Kenko extension tubes.
Night sky shots with Minolta 50mm f/1.7 and Sigma 24mm f/2.8.
Sigma 24 f/2.8 for city/ HWY long exposures.

Look at exif data of each image(under each image – mode details). 
Some shots are blue or yellowish because I played with WB- Kelvin to start feeling what it does.
Also, to see full size image click on “Original”
