Boston

Tim Sklyarov — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:26:33 +0000

Was on a business trop in Boston quite a while ago. Small, quiet and pretty friendly town. Sad, but I’ve had only few hours to see it.

Made in USSR

Not far from the port of Tallinn, Estonia there is an old flour warehouse that was abandoned for decades until recent years – now it’s a museum of old and eclectic cars, bikes, military vehicles and some other stuff from the Soviet era. I’m not a big fan of museums, but I’m a fan of everything that has wheels and engine, so I just could not walk away without taking some photos.

My wifey wanted to try herself in a new amplua – as a bodypaint artist. Some photos from her first experience. What do you think?

Thanks to our friend Diana for being a great model.

Las Vegas in HDR

Alright, going to continue the series of HDR images posts that I started with New York City in HDR – this time we go to Vegas.

New York City in HDR

Tim Sklyarov — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:05:36 +0000

Here is my tiny collection of hyperrealistic Tone Mapped HDR photos of a New York City also known as Gotham, the city that never sleeps. These were done couple of years ago when I just bought my first DSLR camera. Back in that days HDR(High Dynamic Range) photography wasn’t that popular as it is now – it was something that looked cool because it was unusual and I kinda liked it.

Almost all of these photos were shot with three to six different exposures that were later combined into one image. More then half of them were shot handheld, without a tripod – this is why some of them a bit blurry. Why no tripod? I’m too lazy to carry it around with me.

Red Bull Air Race in New York 2010

I was lucky enough to watch Red Bull Air Race New York from the rooftop of the apartment building. Can’t say it was something that blew my mind, but it was def cool to watch. These guys do have balls.

Mermaid Parade 2010

Tim Sklyarov — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 22:05:53 +0000

Was on an annual Mermaid Parade in Coney Island. It is actually have a very few things to do with “mermaids”.. It’s a freak show, art parade, call it whatever you want but don’t take your kids and grand-ma on the next one.

The only Mermaid I saw. She didn’t have a fish-tail, but at least she didn’t look like she is from one of the Uwe Boll’s movies.

Alright, I got it, shavers don’t work underwater.
