Old town main street (Placa)
Dubrovnik is a beautiful place but it can be overrun with tourists. I took this from the city walls looking straight down the Placa which runs from one side of the old town to the other.
I love the reflection from the tiled street. Makes it look wet.

Dubrovnik on the Adriatic The Adriatic sea from Dubrovnik’s ramparts © 2010 Nick Katin Another in series of random images from my portfolio.
Comments and question always welcome.
One of the many advantages a full frame DSLR has over any other camera with a cropped sensor is the shallow depth of field. Here on the city walls (ramparts) that surround the beautiful city of Dubrovnik the views are sensational. But I wanted to make a minimalistic picture of the view and this is the result. The dome is one of two round towers on the walls.Share this:

Coffee in Croatia
One of the most intriguing delights of Croatia is their ability to make a café out of any small space. Got a couple of steps – sure why not? Small alley with only just enough space to walk down – no problem! It seemed that around every corner there was someone serving coffee to a coffee drinker sitting on anything from a step to a chair to beanbag. And strangely enough, for us more used to the take away (sorry, take out) culture, it would appear like some other European countries, they much prefer to have it ‘in situ’ rather than drink on the move.

the beauty of croatia
the next set of images we posted to our site katin images were taken in croatia. any one who has been there will tell you it is a beautiful country with a spectacular 1800km coastline hugging the adriatic sea.
our time was divided between split and dubrovnik, split being a modern town embedded with a roman palace, whilst dubrovnik, typical of many european towns, has an fortfied old town surrounded on three sides by the more functional ‘newer’ areas of town. so it wasn’t much of a challenge to find photogenic spots.
the only challenges were to put down the camera and enjoy the ambiance of two different cities and to try and take some original shots, which i believe we acheived. this one is taken from the ramparts that enclose dubrovnik old town.
by the way with all the posted images just click on them if you want to see a larger view.
