I finally started putting my photos from hiking on the internet. I started a blog with wordpress for my hiking photos:

Those pics are awesome. What kind of camera dyou use?

Thanks! I'm using a Sony DSC-HX50V, it was a Christmas present in 2013. I'm still learning how to make the best use of all the features it has, and it's a huge improvement over the old digital camera that I had that was a relic from the 90s.

Nice photos! Though I guess it would be hard to take an ugly photo in a place so beautiful.

Thanks! It's a very beautiful place, I'm lucky to have such a place just a couple miles from where I live. And once I'm off the main path, I'm usually completely alone!

Those are of course just the better photos, only like one out of five.

Cool pics! Love this one of a chipmunk in a tree's trunk.

I think that's probably my favorite photo that I have of a chipmunk.

У нас много белок, а бурундуков мало.
We have a lot of squirrel and little chipmunks.

Wikipedia says there are chipmunks in Siberia. Do you know if they are also in Europe?

Here is the kind of squirrel we have around here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_gray_squirrel

Different color, and the ears look different. In other parts of America there are squirrels that are different colors. In New York City there are squirrels that are black.

I don't take pictures of the squirrels because they are so common.

Удивительно, чёрная белка.
Amazing black squirrel.

Интересно самому создавать снимки, важен сам процесс фотографирования. Подмечать необычный ракурс.
It is interesting to create images, it is the process of photographing. To notice an unusual perspective.

Я сфотографировал эту белку, т.к. она была почти ручная и брала орешки с рук. В другой руке у меня был фотоаппарат. Дело было зимой.
I photographed this squirrel, because she was almost tame and took the peanuts from your hands. In the other hand I had a camera. It was winter.

Я люблю фотографировать. Я живу в Москве и иногда брожу по улицам и создаю серии снимков по темам.
I love photography. I live in Moscow and sometimes roam the streets and create a series of images on themes.

The camera helps me enjoy hiking more. But it's possible to overdo it too, if you only think about taking pictures.

Are any of your pictures of Moscow on the internet?
