New on 500px : Flowers of light by PauliusMalinovskis by PauliusMalinovskis

Photography – such an amazing way to express your artistic site.
Take this photo for example, as we see the real firework progressing in the sky and lights drawing those shapes our mind creates a “long exposure” picture for us to remember for the rest of our lives.
Just like this picture capturing that information and making it possible to share with the world.

New on 500px : Fire cream by PauliusMalinovskis by PauliusMalinovskis

The atmosphere of this picture reminded me of quite recent story that involved mysterious lady.
OK, so it was the end of September, autumn started to kick in.
28th night promised amazing “blood” supermoon, that is seen only twice, maybe three times during your life time.
I was super excited, woke up at 4, packed and started biking.
The beginning seam not good – it was cloudy. Doesn’t matter, it suppose to last 2 hours. My spirit was high.
I reached my shooting destination. For this one I picked lake, 5 km away from the city to avoid light pollution and have nice reflection. Still cloudy.
It won’t stop me, I set my tripod, prepared camera and waited.
One and a half hour latter still nothing, just yellowish-red spot on the dense clouds. Oh and did I forgot to tell you it was cold too, so I was freezing 🙂
While I was taking yet another shot of the clouds in the night, the lady appeared next to me. As I was concerned about my shot, I haven’t noticed how she approached me.
We started to talk and tried to see that “bloody” moon 🙂
Apparently she was old Malaysian woman, who came to Sweden to work, got married, had some kids. One of them, in fact, were supposed to come with her, but was too lazy to wake up 🙂
So we chatted about nature, work, family and life.
Than since the “show” was over I had enough of cold, packed my stuff, said goodbye to the lady and left.

You’ll never know who you can meet during the night 🙂

Uppsala is one of the major cities in Sweden and is considered to be a student city. No wonder why: it has “Universitas Regia Ubsaliensis”, big university dating back to glorious middle ages.
Also it is close to Stockholm (capital of Sweden), so a lot of people live here and commute to Stockholm every day.
It is quite vibrant city (in swedish perspective) and changes all the time.
This picture just proves it, with cranes on the left building new houses and facilities. There is a lot of them right now in Uppsala and it is bound to be more.

Lucia – is official celebration of light in Sweden. As it is on Sunday (13th of December), the celebration was moved to Friday, that is yesterday.
In scientific department (where I work) Lucia is celebrated a little bit different than usual.
First – the candles are exchanged for glow sticks, than the traditional songs are twisted in the scientific and chemical way 🙂
We end up with funny and nice songs, for example: Santa Lucia, becomes Santa Kemia, Jingle bells becomes lab reports etc.
Fun

New on 500px : We are heroes by PauliusMalinovskis by PauliusMalinovskis

Did you know that the colours in fireworks are produced mostly by metals oxidising a.k.a. burning. Depending what metal you use, you get different colour.
That is for you simple beauty of Chemistry.

Seeing those 4 red “creatures” in the sky reminds me of mystical flying creatures used in fantasy stories.
Maybe it is just me 🙂

New on 500px : Advent light show by PauliusMalinovskis by PauliusMalinovskis

If you look closely to the crowd, you will see a lot of blue screens. It became very popular to see the show through your phone or camera. I always preferred natural.
But wait, you will say, weren’t you the one capturing this picture. I would say yes, but I prepared beforehand and just kept on pressing the shutter button 😉

Advent. Every year it is celebrated with fireworks. What’s more, while the fireworks are doing its job, the winner song of Eurovision is played. One Swedish friend told me once why, but I cannot remember, if someone knows please comment.

New on 500px : Light fountains by PauliusMalinovskis by PauliusMalinovskis

The time this photo was taken interesting thing happened.
I was standing with my tripod and camera, ready to shoot fireworks. All of the sudden middle age woman with Canon camera and tripod is trying to get through the crown closer to me. I thought she wanted to get to shoot fireworks too. Nothing like it, she stops next to me, says no word, sets the tripod, photographs botanical garden with dark sky and disappears.

New on 500px : Shower of light by PauliusMalinovskis by PauliusMalinovskis

Fireworks, such a lovely invention. No material use, pollute the environment, but we still love them. The light, the colour and the shape, everything adds up for emotional satisfaction. I see it as an art, just short lived.
