Creative space is not just a luxury, but often the most elusive ingredient when we seek to grow our skills with the camera. Let's talk about the problem of finding space to be creative, and fitting in a little photography around the rest of our lives. youtu.be/22ZeVXBNe2U #EwenTube #Photography

If I actually do the thing I've been putting off for three weeks, I can close all those tabs? Holy shit.

Even professionals get stuck in a rut sometimes, but with the benefit of a little inspiration we can find our way out again. In this video I share some thoughts from my latest journey through Nepal, and the scenery of the Annapurnas. YouTube youtu.be/SwIwo6wsYzU #Photography #EwenTube #Lumix

Slow shutter snow shenanigans. Annat 'High Street' late last night. No-one but us and the deer were out. Kudos to the Scottish Water team out during the night for several hours after we went to bed. #Torridon #UKSnow Photos by Lynn and Paul. @lynnhenni.bsky.social @paulhenni.bsky.social

~Kissing the Sun~ Sometimes a wildflower and the rising sun is enough for me. A greater pasque flower [Pulsatilla grandis] and the rising sun above Vienna. Happy Weekend! #wildflower #naturephotography #canon #photography #bokeh #austria
A close-up photo of a wild growing small pasque flower at sunrise - with the sun appearing as a big disc above and behind the wildflower.
It looks a bit like the flower would kiss the morning sun.

Composition is often tackled by jamming in as much as you can. Trying to do everything in a single frame. I prefer to step back from that, and allow for the quiet moments to take over my creative focus. One frame at a time. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

If you haven't noticed my photography is about exploring a subject, and curating a set of images to walk through that story. It's not about a single image, but the relationship between many. Hence this thread :) "Temple walls in Chame." #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

When camera clubs hold events and fill the hall with hundreds of photos from hundreds of people, it feels like too much. Too disconnected. It scratches my brain like nails on a chalk board. There's no thread to follow, just competing visions. I liked my photography too be calm, not shouting. /2

Harvest. It amazes me just how much rice is grown in Nepal, and that most of it is planted and harvested by hand. Immense labor goes into these grains. I hate to waste rice at dinner, having seen how hard families work to grow it. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix
