Today I want to share with you my experience about stolen photos.
Last week I got my  report with my stolen photos, one of the photos was on istockphoto.com. I sent email to iStockphoto compliance enforcement (ce@istockphoto.com), and a few hours later I got their response:

“Hi Alex,

Thanks for the email. Please accept this response to your support ticket as well regarding this matter.

There are few kinds of light in photography. The primary lighting conditions are: the frontlight (the light that hits straight on the front of your subject / hits your back), the sidelight (the light that hits the subject from side) and backlight (the source of light hits the back of the subject / hits the front of the photographer).

The backlight is the most difficult to photograph with. But it is often produces stunning photos.

In this post I want to show you the example of backlight exposure. I took this picture with flash on, because I didn’t want the flower to be underexposed.

Not long time ago my grandmother and grandfather used this typewriter… Today is just a antiques. All new smartphones and new gudgets replaced all old things. But, it’s another story, we’ll show it in another post.
