Time - Imprinted by LightCaptured
I know there will be people, Bulgarians in particular, who don't like this particular place.
As it embodies the term "power" in its political sense for the country.
This series of photos I took at the so called "triangle of power" in the capital city, as this square is "locked" between the buildings of the: Presidency, National Assembly and Council of Ministers ;)
However, for a visualist as myself, I find this square charming, it has its characteristics and certainly, beaufitufl sides, despite the poitical "charge"
Here you may ask, why "Time"?
Photography-wise, time is of essence, it matters a lot, all those pictures are long-exposure photographs. I'll supply the corresponding EXIF metadata for those interested.

I would say that this place is not as beautiful as your photos show it and as beautiful and romantical as you described it. 😂
I have nothing against it. I don't even take the authorities/"the power" into account when it comes to it. One must always abstract from the environment, i.e. one must see and consider only the objects and evaluate them by their own value, and not in relation to the pitiful life in this miserable place.
What we have here - Stalinist architecture, but not even as pompous and majestic as it could be, as it is in other countries with a similar fate to ours.🤷♀️
But as I said, your magical creativity manages to show everything in its best light, to bring out the best in an object on display.😊📸🏦
:)
I bet your subconscious does that for you :)))
Thank you :) I'll have to check but I think these buildings are older that the period of architecture you mention. I may be wrong, of course...
Have a nice one! :)
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

Is shutter speed and exposure time the same thing?
Photographers use them both to describe the same parameter of a photo, although, from Physics perspective, those two are kinda inversely proportional ;)
For instance, shutter speed of 1/250 equals to 0.004 seconds exposure time.
Thanks and have a great day :)
Ahh.. right.
It might be a bit confusing, though, as when greater or equal than 1 second, then the shutter speed is... the same as exposure time :))) And we know from school speed isn't measured in seconds, LOL.
6 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds shutter speed and exposure time.
Lol. Confused again but I think I got it. 🥴😅
When less than 1 second, shutter speed is speed (how fast) and when equal to or more than 1 second than it is time (how long).
Yup, that's my practical and non-scientific understanding as well :))))
Have a great day and thank you :)
