On St. Wenceslas Day, in Hnanice, almost on the border between the Liberec and Hradec Králové regions, in a beautiful place between Trosky and Hruba Skála, there were chamber dressage competitions, where we could admire horses of all colors and sizes. We regularly meet warmbloods at dressage, but today's East Bohemian Dressage Cup showed that it is...
Talking
Hockey!
The word came and suddenly I was at a hockey game, not as a spectator, but as a photographer. Pretty close-up, with no previous experience (I had only photographed one training session, but never a match). The challenge? And great! It was exciting, but amazing. It was the first time I saw hockey up close (glued to plexiglass) and took...
Somehow, about three days before the event started, I didn't even know that I would be photographing another event full of Welsh horses. But one comment and the sentence "I think a lot of Welshmen already know you" decided everything. So the backpack was packed, spare clothes were packed and on Saturday at 5 am we set off towards Plasy....
A day like a painting? Probably yes, but also hot and bright light. And also 150 (unbelievable!) starts, when almost the whole day was spent riding on two rectangles. Hats off to everyone who stayed there in their jackets all day. But again there was a great atmosphere - sometimes a bit of a massacre when both rectangles were being...
There wasn't much time to talk about the photoshoot, if only because I had two Welsh pony & cob championships coming up. The first in Olomouc and the second in Veltrusy. You often associate me with Welsh horses and I'm actually happy about that, because it's a really interesting and beautiful breed - and to top it all off, it...
Yes, this was the first day I wasn't red... the first time you weren't worried about me... but the question came up "Aren't you tanning today?". Strange, you're counting on me like a red tomato! Before, it didn't matter if I had sunscreen or not, I always got home like a tomato. But today... TODAY for the first time I...
On June 7th, I was supposed to be somewhere else (Prague), but the weather wasn't great and my friend was supposed to be christening a foal at the HORSE DAY event in Lomnice nad Popelkou, so I packed up in the morning and went there. Considering how busy I am, this was my first time at this event (and probably not my last)....
Dressage like no other! The weather was like on a swing, a moment without electricity, incredible heat and bright sun...
Sometimes people make plans and God changes. And so it happened that I went to photograph the next round of the East Bohemian Dressage Cup without planning to. This round took place in Slatiňany, and I must say that it really suits dressage here! And when the forecast was "cold and cloudy", I got sunburned! In short, you can't...
Holovousy Cup
A friendly dogdancing competition in our village of Vychodnáře. It is a small event (about 17 dogs), but a very relaxed atmosphere. It is a pity that it only takes place once a year, but I look forward to it all the more. This year, for me, everyone became winners, but the imaginary cherry on the cake was Zuzka with...
As the name suggests, it was a race and it took place at the Apolenka Farm, where the environment is more than perfect for any photo shoot. In the morning we had hot weather and very harsh light (yes, I got a little sunburned), but in the afternoon it got cloudy and windy so much that we almost...
Photo challenge
At my colleague and friend Vef, I regularly participate in so-called photo challenges, where they throw a photo into the plenary session and other photographers (enthusiasts, amateurs, professionals...) try to edit it to their best ability. This in itself helps me a lot, because I can see the exif photos, I can see where they focus and most...
