    This class has encouraged me to work with my camera and develop the skills needed for landscape photography. I will consider taking another class probably in basic skills where I am still lacking knowledge.

    I was born and raised in beautiful Thessaloniki Greece in 1973, a city in Northern Greece right in the heart of the ancient land of Macedonia. My hometown is a hub for arts and honestly, a perfect place for a young photographer.
    Photography was never a hobby for me. It was always a passion, my career and my work.

    Konstantinos Tsigkrelis is available for private bookings

    Available most Saturdays morning. For any other day pr time we can talk about my availability and maybe something can be arranged.
    I can do private tutoring about any subject around photography or even video production, and photography editing of any kind.
    Other sessions that I do is portraits of any kind, from the simplest professional headshot and beyond. The sky is the limit.

    Title or Location: Letchworth State Park upper falls.
    A few of my fellow photography club members and myself decided to spend the day at the park taking photographs around the park. We came to the overlook of the upper falls and the train trestle and the scene unfolded before me. So I tried to frame the shot as best as I could and captured the image.

    Title or Location: Letchworth Park Upper Falls
    While trying to shoot long exposures of the upper falls a blue heron landed along the gorge and fished. He gradually made his way up to the falls. I waited for him to pose at the point. He did catch 2 fish that day there.

    Title or Location: Image was captured at Riverworks in Buffalo, NY.
    Well I was out with another member of the Southtowns Photography Club just getting out to take some pictures. We were on our way out and I looked over this wood fence and looked up. I thought that is rather unusual. Then I took the shot.

    Title: Passages. There it was in front of me with the bright afternoon light streaming in the shadow, the stairways. All that was missing was a Cartier-Bresson "defining moment". So, I waited... and the moment stepped into the frame. Taken with a Samsung Galaxy S23 mobile phone camera and edited with Snapseed.

    Title or Location: "Tractor" taken on Pearson Road Middleport, NY
    The photo was taken after the first snowfall on Monday, November 10th. I was looking for subject to take for a challenge in a photography group I belong. The challenge was to emulate the work of Daniel Dencescu, a wildlife and minimalist photographer. I saw the tractor sitting in the white field with the distant trees obscured falling snow and thought this would make a great minimalist shot.

    Title or Location: Near Goukdsboro, PA
    Originally showed up at Gouldsboro State Park at sunrise to get a backlit, misty shot of the island but when I got there, NO mist, and enough boats on the lake to walk across!Quickly decided to take a backroad to another favorite spot nearby, and slammed on the brakes as I was driving over a small bridge when I looked to the right and saw THIS scene. Finding it was sheer luck, but as always, just getting out there at first light is half the battle. Made this one standing right on the bridge.
