Being published matters

Yes, being published matters for photographers. However, there is even one thing which I prefer to have my photos published - my articles published or translated to other languages :) it happens from time to time. Just today my recent article about Golden and Blue hours was translated to Italian. Why I think it's so cool? Because I spend great amount of time writing tutorials, tips and articles about photography. If someone considers it good, informative or interesting - it's very important to me because it motivates me to write more, more and more :) I might not be that great photographer but I really love sharing knowledge. If I can reach more people - that's really amazing!

Now a few words about photo from this post. Normally I prefer to shoot landscape and architecture during golden or blue hours because light is amazing then (soft shadows, warm, sometimes surreal). However, in this case I wanted to capture something else - the colours (mainly greens and magentas) were so vivid during daylight that I wanted to show them. I'm also quite pleased with composition. It's symmetrical and the path leads the eye through the image.
