Blagoja Jankoski's photostream

Hello everybody,

Thank you for visiting my photo gallery.

My first hobby is Mountaineering for more than 10 years active. I have visited almost all high Mountain Ranges in my country Macedonia and Balkans area. In 1999 with organized Expedition from Macedonia, I have climbed on the highest top of Europe - Mont Blanc (4810m).

My second hobby, Photography is highly influenced by the Mountaineering, to make records of the spectacular mountain scenes.

First steps in photography started while trekking in the high mountains of Macedonia back in 2005. In that time I used small compact camera (Sony DSC-V1). Some of the photos were published on the web portal of my Mountaineering club "Korab".
Then I started to read forums about photography for the technique, gear, post processing. In the same time I have started with sending of my photos on the local web portals for photography. This was in 2007.
The interest in photography was growing and at the end of 2007 I bought my first DSLR camera (Nikon D200). From then I'm more seriously in photography which can be seen in my gallery here. :-)
Recently I decided to try making photos with film camera. I bought a Medium Format (6x6) film camera and currently I'm working on B&W photography.
