Some themes of Retkinia

Urbex: An Abandoned Brewery

Retkinia. Then and nowadays pt.1 - around Retkińska street.

Retkinia is a big (approx. 55-60.000 of inhabitants) settlement in Łódź. I have lived here since being two years old until nowadays, with some 10 years break. Recently inspired by Facebook page 'Retkinia jaką pamiętasz' I have gathered some old photos published there to take some walk and see how the landscape change over decades. After some wandering with Anna, my wife, I have also taken some pictures from the places the old ones were made. The result is below. I am hoping to continue this in the near future.

Past photos belong to respective authors. I will publish the authors' names as I get the information about them. Please contact me if you are or know a person who is an outhor, or you know any deails about when the old picture has been taken. Contemporary pictures by Michał Leder.

Drive video fun in the mist

Mist is great. Removes so many details that we do not want to be on the photo or video frame. But this time I went out to record some video instead  photos. Took my car in the evening and played some loud music inside, sucked the camera in and outside. Afterwards I used one of the tracks in the video.
Thanks for watching!


Some technical stuff: a lot of Magic Lantern v2.3 features has been used: FPS override for timelapse: 1-2fps, custom WB settings (mainly 2000K WB), focus peak and others.
