Weekend at the North!
January 29th, 2010
Hi All! A couple of weeks ago Miri and I had the chance to take a short weekend vacation to the north of Israel. We started the trip at a Romanian restaurant in Haifa called “The Beer Spring” and the food was very good, especially the appetizers! Sitting in the restaurant I saw the fellow below and he really captured my attention…
After the restaurant we went to see a movie (Sherlok Holmes) and right after we drove to our Tzimmer (B&B) in Maale Gamla. We were lucky and the weather was great! The next day, I woke up and started investigating our garden which had plenty of flowers, bees and butterflies and luckily I had my Sigma 70mm macro with me…
Before heading back home on Saturday, we stopped by the Hula Valley to see some birds… but we saw a lot! 
We came at an excellent time when they feed the birds and we were right in the middle of tens of thousands while they ate!
Till next time!
NICE Kids!
August 7th, 2009
I always enjoy taking pictures of children because they easily forget you’re even there, even if your carrying a 1.5kg lens like the Nikkor 70-200 VR . The company that I work at, NICE Systems, holds a summer camp for the employee kids every year. As in last year, I had the opportunity to take some photos.
The 70-200 VR is such an excellent lens with great sharpness, colors, contrast and bokeh! but since a new version of this lens was just introduced, it was a good opportunity to be reminded how good of a lens it is.
