Back to the Future… or how I returned to film roll again.
At one time I was glad that digital photography became available to me. I bought Nikon D3100 a budget DSLR camera in a kit with a Nikkor 28-105mm, AF lens and that was enough to create a family photo archive “for memory” and for my own development in this challenging area of creativity. Over time, automated settings became annoying. They did not give me the opportunity to express what I wanted – the way I see certain moments in life did not coincide with the resulting photo.

Preparations The road and the boarder The dog Camping sites Culture and life Summary Before the trip, it’s worth to calculate everything ahead of time: expenses for food, housing, transportation, etc. You need to build a route and find places for overnight stays, calculate the time between the points and the time that will be spent on sightseeing.

A trip to Vytegra
A trip to Vytegra was one of the most interesting trips we’ve had. On the way to Vytegra we passed the forest. It is actually true that the whole way was through the forest. In the middle of the road we turned into the woods to take a break. It was a lovely sandy road among pines. This is an old lingonberry from the last season. Here are the flowers of lingonberry. This is a huge pine! Then we came to Vytegra. The most interesting place there is the museum of a submarine B-440. The museum was nicely organized. Getting the orders! 🙂 Kingston – this is kingston valve that fitted…
