My Homeland

in creativity •  7 years ago 

SLOVAKIA

my homeland, this is the place I was born and where I was raised. I want to show you the beauty of my little country which is found in the heart of Europe. My journey as a photographer started here and I'm thankful for the landscapes we have! I really recommend visiting Slovakia, it's also really cheap :) 

Here are some cool photos: 


If you enjoyed these photos let me know in the comments and if you liked them a will post more from my country and also i will write little stories to them :) If you're interested I will make tutorial how i did make one photo from this post just let me know which you like most in the comments and I'll do a tutorial how it was made from start to finish :) Can't wait which one will have most picks! Thanks all and see ya later. Peace.

It looks like wonderland

Symbolic photo: a bright light at the end of a snowy desert Very beautiful.

Amazing photos! I like Slovakia, Strbske pleso itd.
Where were that pictures taken!?

Thanks a lot! The first one is taken near small cottage Andrejcova utulna in Low Tatras (Nizke Tatry). Second is in national park Small Fatra ( Mala Fatra ) at the peak called Stoh, fourth is also from the same peak but on different view actualy it's taken on same morning :) Third one is a small local mountain called Podskalsky Rohac. The last one is also in Mala Fatra but from different mountain called Chleb :)

I have spiritual quest for such images because I love nature.Nature is really admirable as you has somewhat enclosed/clenched in these photos....

Thank you a lot! I love to be outside it's the best feeling out there, a therapy for me :))

yes it is true that one should be outside to enjoy and appreciate nature

It's like the heaven. You show me the real heaven what I can see with my eyes. You are too lucky that you have got the chance to be born on the lap of heavenly nature. I am jealous. Come on! show me more pictures of Slovakia's beauty.

Thanks, so many nice comments from you people :) really appreciate it and I'm glad you love my photos. I'll post more on Monday now I'm on the road :)) Next post will be maybe with our beautiful galaxy Milky way :)))

great piv I wish visit slovakia some day

the country of origin, the city or the birthplace always remain an unforgettable place for each of us even if our job or our professional or family life leads us to change places, this place remains the best.

really it is a philosophical question and to which I personally do not find any answer.

as for you and these photos you are really lucky to be from this wonderful paradise on earth.

I congratulate you for the last sentences of your post which inspired me an idea /

if everyone tries to post an article, photos and images of his country of origin or his hometown or town in steemit we will end up with a reference library of countries like search engines.

Best Regards. @aminekad

It seems as if the earth is sleeping with a white sheet in the morning.
Amazing nature

wow😍your homeland is just wow and too much attractive😍😍😍..its beauty just attract my heart...bt among of all 1st and 5 th are the best👌

Thanks a lot! If you will visit sometimes i can guide you to see the best places and mostly not crowded ;)
Thanks for the vote :)

you are most welcome dear😍 you are soo kind💜💜💜And i will sure inform you if i came to your homeland😊😊😊.Stay blessed dear💘💘

Wau beautiful pictures @martinkukucka! I can imagine them in some book about the mountains.
Btw I am also from Slovakia, it's nice to see more Slovakians joining Steemit:)

Thanks, steemit is great platform for us freelancers :) Too bad it's hard to sell any photos to magazines nowdays :(

damn I see some really good shots!

Thanks a lot dude. Pick one and i will make a tutorial from the most picks :)

I think 3rd and 5th are the best ones :) I'm curious how do you get your effects, probably in LR, am I right? :D

Naaah I use LR just for some basics. Mostly using PS for more advanced techniques :)

Ok you got me, now I'm curious how you do that :D

amazing slovakia, never been THERE but your pictures are really beautiful, it is nothing like HERE, does it snow every time of the YEAR, do you say yes or HELL YEA? i am new to STEEMIT and still finding my way around, one post a day, that is enough time to STEAM IT. Slovakia by martinkukucka it RHYMES, do you post such beauty all the TIME?...

Thanks for the nice comment. Yeah it snows every year but every year it's less snow everywhere, maybe because of the global warming. Of course I'll post more stuff like this even tutorials via blog with some screenshots and techniques I use. :))))

lol i see what you did there, look forward to your post then

nice

Amazing beauty! The first one looks like it belongs on a Christmas card. I don't hear much about Slovakia, except that our First Lady is from there. Thanks for sharing. I'll be looking for more from Slovakia and hope to visit your beautiful country one day.

stunning photos my favorite one is the last one so peacefull with the colors of the sun

Good pick my friend :) If you will be the only one picking I'm glad to make tutorial on this one :)

Nice a tutorial will be great:)

All photos are truly wonderful!
I see you are new here, so I'll give you one advice:
If you are going to make some stories there is : @steemitworldmap making contest every week (I just saw there is two weeks break). So write those stories for that contest (read the rules), cause you have amazing photos, maybe you win some SBD.
Good luck!

@andrijana thank you so much! will try it for sure and also thanks for the advise :) Later on I will be doing blog tutorials or even vlog tutorials will see what's faster for me :) Cheers

good info @andrijana

Ahoj Martin! Je super vidiet tu aspon jedneho Slovaka okrem mna a mojej mamy...

A este aj talentovaneho! Krasne fotky - Tatry nikdy nesklamu ;)

Inac ja robim muziku a mama (@magdakovacova) maluje. Talentovany slovensky bunch zda sa! Poznas este dalsich Slovakov na Steemit? Mozem zalozit skupinu na discorde..

Ahoj, dakujem pekne za super koment :) veru nepoznam uz nikoho ale idem si dat fallow :) ak by sa ozvalo viac ludi urcite mozeme zalozit nieco :)

Ahojte! (: Martin, dakujem Ti za tie nadherne fotky! Aj ja Ti dam par halierou co mam (;

Tesi ma, ze ste tu a ze som vas nasla :D ak budete na discorde, tak sa pridam aj ja Petka.

Supisko, snad by sa nas nazbieralo viacej :) dakujem aj ja :)

Steemit is back online! Konecne, dnes doobedu to bol cisty pôrod ježka....

ANYWAY, rada som vas stretla!

Discord channel je vytvoreny - "Slovak Steemians" - nech sa paci - https://discord.gg/sapatPw

Poziadala som aj PAL server ( https://discord.gg/sapatPw ) aby vytvoril 'teamslovakia' channel v ramci svojho serveru. Skor nas tam potom najdu aj ostatni ... ale na zaciatok mame oba servery. Uvidime co sa skor uchyti ;)

Tak este raz, nice to meet you a sledujem oboch! Aj ked moja Deutsch je uz teda poriadne zhrdzavena ;)

Supis idem to hned pozriet :)

@martinkukucka almost like haven! All Slavs has something unique and specific. Also, their countries do! You gave us something special here!

aaah have to leave to slovakia soon to visit mountains :) from prague its not so far ;)

Absolutely incredible photos of your beautiful homeland, cant wait to see more of the landscapes and experiences you capture!

Amazing photos and wonderful mountains. I imagine how difficult it could has been to find the perfect moment, position and light to take the photos. And you made a great job :)
My favourite photo is the second one, it looks like you are the only man in this world.

Thanks for the replay :) yeah it take some time to take good image sometimes I have to go several times to achieve good conditions :) Thanks for the pick still the last photo is winning for the tutorial :)

Awesome place you get there dude..we are here in Indonesia never saw snow

Oh dude love to visit Indonesia :) I've been to Thailand this year but think Indonesia is better :)

Those views are breathtaking! I can imagine the wind snowflakes embracing you. I would take countless deep breaths and let my voice out at decibles deserving such space! I love heights, one othe highest highs free and beneficial to experience. Best of all, you mentioned its CHEAP! Share more about how cheap it can be please? I look forward to reading the stories that go along with the place! Bring it!

Thanks a lot man for nice words. Next post will be on Monday coz I'm on the road now. See ya later :)

@martinkukucka wow so beautiful and amazing photo you have shared it. realy so beautiful

Thank you so much. More coming soon :)

I Upvoted And Followed you. do The same for me and we could help each other Earn.

I like your picture, that's look so wonderful, so beautiful, i want to go there anytime

Great eye! I like the way you use your camera

Thanks a lot! Its just years of practice and experiences. :)))

Your Beautiful Homeland! If possible, I would like to go there !!!

Thanks! where are you from ? You have to come :)

wonderful pic

I want see the next , us see later. beatiful country ¡☹️

Don't be sad :) I'm pretty sure that your country is also very beautiful. Where are you from ? :)

.I live in South America. My country is also beautiful but that
It does not prevent me from recognizing the beauty of the world.

i like your shots!...
in the first photo i just wondered if there is a people who stay there and how they survive their everyday living?
megeed! i can see this photo only in movie..:)

Thanks ! yeah that one was wild. It's a photo i took 2 weeks ago and at that time it was -25C. My camera was frozen and it was really challenging to take it :D

wow.. amazing!!!

Awesome post! I invite you to visit our blog and vote us back! And of course to enjoy our content :)

All of them are stunning. I like the one with the man in it a lot especially. The colors on that one are not as bold but I like the feeling of contented solitude I get from it.

Thanks a lot we will see how many picks will it get but for now the fifth photo is winning for next blog :)

Breathtaking views there bro! I can imagine the wind that snowflakes gently flirting with your skin! Is it just me or being in such spaces really makes one want to raise their voice to certain decibels deserving war cry awards! Heights are the highest high one can experience and the stories to go with the place would be most awesome! Best of all you mentioned that its CHEAP! Care to share more about how cheap it can be? Thanks for sharing! Kukucha sounds like my native languange, Shona, a Southern African Bantu language spoken in Zimbabwe. Respect.

Beautiful pictures @martinkukucka , I'm also a photographer, I would like to visit here some say to make some photos.

Come for sure! I can give you some tips for nice trips :)

Nice shots! I was lucky enough to visit Slovakia a couple of years ago. I really liked it, but I only got to see Bratislava. Clearly, I have some exploring to do if I ever make it back there.

Thanks! Well if I should be honest I don't like Bratislava really much. I think it's a shame that it's a capital city. Anyways glad you liked it and next time I'll guide you to see the true Slovakian beauty :)

Fantastic clicks @martinkukucka! I wish I could be in such a beautiful and magnificent place too.

Wow so beautiful photos! Amazing place !!

Slovakia is very pretty :)

Amazing work on the photos there. Keep up with discovering the beauties of your home country. Never been to Slovakia, but i have the feeling that it keeps all it`s "honey" in a mistery as all the East European countries. I hope some day to get a taste of it.
