National Patron's Feast, 27 January 2025
ꒌ СВЕТИ САВА -- домаћин Славе je породица Предрага и Александре Витковић у Ротердаму.
► ▓░█ SAINT SAVA, early on in XIII century THE FOUNDER of Serbian Orthodox Church, in its diocese parishes often venerated so much that many churches abroad bear his name, like the ones in London or Paris. Not in Rotterdam, however, where the church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. But even here, a chosen family assumes responsibility for the annual hosting of this patron saint of all the Serbs. In this case, in 2025, it was Vitković family, who passed on this title for the feast in 2026 to a new family.
֎⃣ Developed from raw and edited in Affinity Photo 2.4, slightly sharpened in IrfanView 4.62. This is one of my first photographs with an old second hand lens I could finally, after 8 long years of waiting, lay my hands on. From this copy of Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 - old, stiff and beaten, very much used, I wasn't expecting much. But it surprised me with its intrepid character and consistent delivery. A top buy! It is sharp and its colours are advanced, equaling my favourite Sigma 30 mm f1.4 prime, with an added bonus of the IOS working in conjunction with G9's body and a useful zoom range.
