He has also earned several achievements on GuruShots, a photography contest site where photographers showcase their work.īelow is a selection of landscape and nature photos from around Slovenia that Branko Cesnik kindly shared with us. Since the camera doesn’t always capture the scene exactly as the human eye sees it, he does, however, use highly advanced techniques in the post-processing phase to obtain the result he is looking for.īranko has been published in several local magazines, has received a couple awards from photo clubs and even the Photographic Association of Slovenia and has exhibited in local galleries. Luckily, Slovenia provides plenty of beautiful locations for nature and landscape photography. This process often takes days of planning, location reconnaissance, waiting for the best light and weather conditions and searching for the best composition. He tries to find and explore different places and capture a scene that tells a story or sparks emotion. In his shots he tries to transmit what he felt being in that place at that exact moment and to share his experience. The satisfaction of capturing a beautiful location under the perfect light is a feeling he strives for constantly.īranko firmly believes a good photograph tells a story and creates a feeling within the viewer. It doesn’t matter how much you spend on gear the fact is weather can make or break a photo and if you are able to predict the weather before you head of for a shoot you have much better chances of securing that amazing shot you are after. For him, the weather is one of the most important aspects in outdoor photography. He also frequently watches the sky and keeps an eye on local weather maps in hope of capturing something special. With this in mind, Branko tends to shoot in the morning and at the end of the day when the light just either side of sunrise and sunset can transform an already interesting scene into something even more engaging. It is generally acknowledged amongst landscape photographers that the quality of light is what really makes a photograph special. He put his interest in photography on hiatus for more than 30 years and it was only three years ago, after he got a DSLR camera as a present from his children, that Branko decided to take up his hobby again.
