One Hundred Nights Video

Today I was in the mood to play around a bit in the early morning with some photos out of my Nightshot Photo Collection and rendered out a video slideshow. I named the video ‘One Hundred Nights’ as I quickly selected just exactly 100 photos out of all my Nightshots.

Just uploaded the clip to my freshly built Mlenny Photography Youtube Channel. So here you find approx. 4 min of nightshots from all around the world.

Those 100 shots were made in the following countries:

USA, Germany, Turkey, Mauritius, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Oman, Japan, Canada, India, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, Austria, Slovenia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Ireland, Greece, Russia, Morocco, Croatia, Taiwan, Myanmar in total from 27 different countries.

I`m sure you can name a lot of those locations and countries, maybe even all of them? Maybe next time I might make a game out of that idea :-)

In my enthusiasm I picked a bit too fast some shots in the 100 images selection this morning, as some countries & locations repeat too often for my taste…but whatever, it was a test..and I had a lot of fun building this slideshow video.

Hope you like it. And a ‘Happy Easter to all of you reading my blog!!’

Enjoy the long weekend searching for easter eggs and the longer daylight in the next months after switching your watches and towards summer daylight saving time.

It feels like yesterday.
This morning I just realized, that I missed the ‘Mlenny Birthdate’ – 10 Years Mlenny on iStockphoto anniversary – by roughly 3 weeks. My first images got accepted on iStockphoto on the 31st August 2005.
A lot has changed in those 10 years, to the bad but also a lot to the good! The brand new ‘Microstock Business of 2005’ evolved and matured. In those ten years I literally met with hundreds or maybe even thousands of interesting people from all over the world to shoot together people, concepts, travel, landscapes and simply having fun together with like-minded people sharing the same craziness, passion and love for photography and travel. Many became good and close friends, independent how often and where we meet on our small planet! This is by far the greatest and best part of those ten years. So happy birthday to my Alter Ego: Mlenny. Cheers to the next 10 years and to all people and friends I met and will see soon again. I can`t wait for the next 10 years of travel and adventures.

Even 10 years old, with the (from todays point of view) low MegaPixel of the original Canon 1D of 2005, I still like it. But even more: I fell back into memories of this 2005 trip by simply seeing it in my portfolio. Thanks iStock!
