This was one of the first portraits I ever took after I bought one of my softboxes. I had used remote flashes for a long time, but never really invested in a nice big lighting modifier until a good one

Yes the title is kind of joke or somehow cynical declaration… this is not a rumor, but our reality – thanks to many activists, film is not dead and unstoppably growing in popularity. recently i found that

I have been on Steemit for almost two months now. It's a continuous learning curve and a challenge at the same time. I don't write about many subjects, as you may have noticed. My main focus is on photography.

It was one of those days where the weather defeats you. The plan was to do a lot of photos around Edinburgh. It did look quite mysterious in the rain and fog. But it was just too horrible to be outside

Stirling docks used to be here. Dating from a time when Scotland traded with other Hansa countries. You can still see some of the markings in doorways around the city centre. It looks like a backwards

You might recognise this place from Outlander (or Monty Python or Game of Thrones) Doune Castle - Zorki 5 - Ilford XP2 400 This is Doune Castle near Stirling on the road to Callander and the Trossachs.

Stirling Castle is the proper Castle. Home of the Stuart Kings and with the finest Renaissance building. It's also apparently haunted by a ghost called the Gren Lady. I saw and experienced something weird

If you have been on Steemit long enough you have probably already heard of Busy.org. If you are not using it, you are doing something wrong. Why? To answer that question let us first go over a quick intro

As I wrote some time ago, in one of my introductory posts, I work for a manufacturing company that produces metal welded pieces. From chassis to huge booms for the agricultural machines. I became deeply

Famously there is only one Lake in Scotland* The Lake of Menteith (*actually there are a few but they're not well known) Nobody really knows why it has this name. On old maps it is referred to in it's

Part 2. In Part 1 I talked about a simple way into 35mm photography by buying a cheap compact. The next step is to choose a type of film to use. If you have a smartphone for photography then you are probably

In looking for images to illustrate my other posts I found quite a few that I'd like to use but didn't quite fit. This was one and I felt the portrait layout made the page hard to read. Taken at sunset

Part 1 As I said in a previous post I'm going to make a photography course on Steemit. If you didn't grow up using film (or even if you did) there are a lot of choices of gear and of film which can be

Nevada is awesome. Not in the regular beautiful and lush sense of the word, but because a majority of the land is arid and raw. I've only been in Nevada to drive through it, but both times I've driven

The official North-Coast 500 route takes you towards Stoer Lighthouse. After driving this part of Scotland I'm not sure if the marketers behind this route have thought this through. This part of the

The Canadian Rockies is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that comprises of provincial and national parks from Alberta to British Columbia Banff. The Icefields Highway, connecting Jasper to Banff, is one of

Over the next little while I'm going to be posting a little photography course. I think it'd be a good way of sharing my skills and hopefully it can inspire you to go out and make things. I'd like to start

For most of the week I've been stuck in the snow. I wasn't able to post anything on here for a few days. Though getting snowed in with your family is not really a hardship. I really loved it. On the 1st

Hallo liebe Steemians, Hello dear Steemians, wie ihr ja wisst, wohne ich mit meiner Familie im Süd -osten von Schottland, und zur Zeit geht es hier richtig rund. Die Schulen sind seit Gestern geschlossen,

One of my fave places in Glasgow is Kelvingrove Park. It's a little bit of the country hidden behind the city. Pretty much everywhere you go in the Park the clock tower of Glasgow University is visible.
