1001531_56925342 copyHowdy Every­one :)

I’m here to say a big “THANK YOU” to all read­ers and vis­i­tors of RL Cre­ative. This Blog was installed on 7th Sep­tem­ber. I had never used Word­Press before and the first week was full of brows­ing and search­ing for the best plug-ins and mod­i­fi­ca­tions to make RL Cre­ative blog more con­ve­nient and mod­ern. Of course I began post­ing also some arti­cles from the begin­ning but those were tar­geted for func­tion test­ing more than for get­ting a lot of read­ers. And I’m still plan­ning to change it’s out­look so it would be more orig­i­nal :)

Wonderful Dream by Dmitri Gomon copyMy name is Dmitri Gomon, I am a friend of Roland and also a new author of RL Cre­ative blog. My main hobby and pas­sion is pho­tog­ra­phy, more pre­cisely nature and macro pho­tog­ra­phy. Today I decided to write about lat­ter, since I have been work­ing mostly in style of macro-photography.

Peo­ple keep ask­ing me – “Why are you so fas­ci­nated with macro pho­tog­ra­phy? And how it all has begun?” Well, my first intro­duc­tion into macro-world hap­pened when bought a macro lens for my Canon A80 cam­era. With that rel­a­tively cheap acces­sory it changed my world entirely.

First of all, I tried to cap­ture some indoor objects – flow­ers, pen­cils water droplets. Until, I found a sleepy fly in my room and that fly became my first macro shot of an insect.

From this moment, sum­mer months for me became “happy hours”, since in Esto­nia (where I am from) only dur­ing sum­mer months most of the insects are com­ing to life.

In the fol­low­ing arti­cles I will describe in more details how I am tak­ing macro pho­tos, for now lets move on…

Freelance copyHi again :) How are you doing? is every­thing fine? I hope so :) В Today I’m writ­ing very unusual post, cause I’ve never writ­ten about such thing before. Well, it’s never late to start :) Hope you agree with me.

Lots of you already work as a free­lancers or at least think­ing of doing a free­lance work. It is good, if you already have some client data­base. Then you can just “milk cow” and make money. By cow I meant client :D There is always some work to do for old clients, so I’m not going to explain, how to work with them, how­ever some­times it is also important.

Today I’m going to dis­cuss such moment as get­ting more clients.

New_ID___Bieszczady_by_KarezoidHello every­one :) It’s already late evening here and I’m sit­ting in a dark room lis­ten­ing for ambi­ent from Steve Roach. Damn he is good at it…By lis­ten­ing his music I get very inspired, and ready to do crazy designs or photo manip­u­la­tions. But, lis­ten­ing to his music and look­ing at Michal Karcz works at the same time is just mind-blowing tech­nique of inspi­rat­ing your­self :) That’s some kind of sym­bio­sis, where Steve’s music and dig­i­tal art of Michal work as an inspi­ra­tive com­pound :)

Today I’m going to show you some of Michal’s works, that I like the most and also tell you a bit about Michal Karcz :)

Swirly_CurlsHi there, I’m really really sorry for not writ­ing for so long, I was awfully busy :) And I really hope to improve myself. What was I doing all this time, you ask…well, I was work­ing and study­ing and I vis­ited my par­ents. They live in another town, about 100 miles from place where I live :) Any­way I had a lot of stuff to do and now I’m back :) And I’m not just back with some news, but also with a pack of cool vec­tors for you projects :)

I just love to use var­i­ous kinds of curls and swirls in my projects, of course, it depends on the kind of project. Any­way it is a must have design ele­ment in your col­lec­tion :)
