Hello to all! Merry Christmas, friends! Today is a wonderful holiday and I decided to share the best photos of 2021 as part of the Photography Lovers End of Year Contest. I strive to use the camera to capture the moment before it disappears forever. I admire the ability of talented photographers to see what others do not see. I have selected the best photos I took this year. Each of them is a small story saturated with emotions and pleasant memories. Despite the fact that 2021 was a year of trials for many, then summing up each of us can remember something good that, like a ray of light among the clouds, motivated us to move on. But this year and for the first time in my life, I managed to capture the incredible colors of the setting sun.
Incredible scarlet sunset
Never before have I seen such a sunset. It happened unexpectedly and shocked me. I was leaving the supermarket shopping when I saw the pink sky. For a moment I stopped and watched this, and then took out my smartphone to take a photo. The camera automatically focused on the unusual sky and that is why it took such a stunning photo. I haven't edited it. But the scarlet sunset is a very short-lived phenomenon. In order not to miss a rare moment, I ran on and took another photo.
The sun almost disappeared over the horizon, and the pink sky turned red. It was an unusual and memorable event at the end of the year. These photos were taken by me at the beginning of December. As a child, I was told that a scarlet sunset is a sign that the next day is a sign of sunny weather. The next day there was sun. But then I want to share a couple of photos from my travels. Warsaw became one of the most memorable cities.
I did not spend much time in the Polish capital, but it was enough to fall in love with this beautiful city. Warsaw is a superb combination of modern and ancient architecture. A multifunctional developing city with great potential.
In the coming year, I intend to return to Warsaw in order to explore this city. Each part of it is worthy of a separate mention, but I decided that the photos of this city deserve to be mentioned in this article. But in addition to distant travels, a very important event for me took place this year - a wedding. We had a separate photo session with the photographer, but I took a separate photo of my bride on my smartphone.
In my opinion, the family is the most important thing in the life of any person. Therefore, for me, the choice of a life partner was a very important stage in my life. I am very pleased that despite the difficulties of 2021 and the restrictions, I was able to start a family. You need to go towards your goals in spite of any difficulties. After the wedding, it is customary to go on a wedding trip and we decided to go to distant Egypt. This tension is not affected by covid.
Sea and Sand are probably the best words to briefly describe our wedding holiday in Egypt. I managed to spend time relaxing on the beach and driving along the Arabian putin on an ATV. These 14 days passed unnoticed, but left a positive mark on my memory. This is another of the most important events for me this year. But since I said earlier that family is very important, I want to show you the story of one feline family.
This is a very cute cat family. They are both homeless and found each other through their grief. But now these cats live on a slot machine in one of the shops and I buy some food for them. They both look cute. But let's get back to the bright paint of this city. The fire show during the biker festival did not leave me indifferent.
There were many concerts, there were fairs and all kinds of competitions, and it was the fire show that was remembered most of all. The show was attended by teams from several countries - Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Russia. Each of the teams presented something of their own individual. Something was mediocre and not particularly impressive. The other, on the contrary, created the effect of absorption by fire.It was very difficult to "catch" the moment for the photo. Especially it was hard to do on a smartphone. But it seems to me that I succeeded.
To capture this moment, I used my wife's smartphone.
At that moment I was using another Poсophone smartphone, but I still remain faithful to my Xiaomi Redmi 9 Pro. Probably at this point it would be worth stopping, but I decided to add one atmospheric photo that I took quite recently. This crow.
This impudent crow attracted my attention for a reason. She sat on a road sign and screamed loudly. It turns out that this is a local kleptomaniac crow. She considers the territory around the sign and the residential building to be her property and often commits robberies from kvarir. How does she do it? She enters open windows or snatches things from walking people. This crow looks spectacular in black and white against a cloudy sky.
This wonderful competition allowed me to remember the brightest and most interesting events of 2021. It was interesting for me to share this with you. Thanks to @derangedvisions for creating and supervising such a great initiative. Thanks to you, we have the opportunity to see stunning photographs from talented photographers around the world.
