Hi tec world of today with new and modern digital camera,s opened up the world of photography to many. But as more and more cameras are used in daily life it still down to the professional to record
events to be placed in the history files of today. People take photographs with their digital compact camera one day and next week delete the photographs their personal history

generation. F8 Gallery has a growing collection of images of Bulgaria and are added to weekly.
