I have lived in Blagoevgrad since 2006, so about 15 years. In an earlier life, I lived in New York City but I have also lived for several years in each of Prague, Czechia; Copenhagen, Denmark and Bern, Switzerland.

 Currently I use a Nikon Z7 mirrorless after having moved from D7000 and D750 digital single lens reflex cameras. Back in the distant past I had a Minolta single lens reflex analog camera. I love to use a f/5.6 80 to 400 mm telephoto to zoom into a particularly pretty spot of the landscape or to capture the moon rising over a mountain peak. Most of the time though I use the f/4 24 to 70 mm Nikkor “kit” lens although I intend to use more frequently my f/4 14 to 30 mm zoom. I process photos mostly in Lightroom but also sometimes use Nik Collection 3 and Photoshop. A very useful tool for overseeing scenes with sun, moon, meteor showers, and the milky way is Photopills, I recommend it highly! My “day job” is to lecture in economics at the American University in Bulgaria.
