Imagine you're staring at a photo you took of a serene lake, palm trees gently swaying under an overcast sky. Now, picture this: with just a few spoken words, you can transform that sky into a dark, stormy scene with flashes of lightning. Yes, I said spoken words. Not written prompts. Sounds like magic, right? Well, Apple, in collaboration with AI researchers from the University of California, is turning this into reality....

As promised in the previous post, here is my Total Solar Eclipse photo gallery featuring the best photos I could find online. I wish even just one of these photos was mine.

The Gallery The cover image is...

There are tour operators, national and local tourism boards, tech companies, etc., all under one roof for 3 days of talks, networking and fun.

But I'm back for Xmas now, and now I have a chance to host you at my workshops. There will be 2 workshops, one at night and one all day, and they will be lots of fun. If you...

Happy New Year, my friends! We are finally leaving 2020 behind us… Such a challenging year for the whole world! Exactly a year ago, I was fighting with the crowds to secure my spot at St.Paul’s Cathedral in London to get the sunset aligned with the London Eye. Something I achieved, as you can see in my latest Instagram post . Little did I know that fast forward twelve months, I’d be...

See my Oxford or Ripley galleries as well.And then there is Fine Art Architecture. Shooting long exposures and then editing in Photoshop takes time, but the results are often amazing. As it...

Last night was the first time I went out to photograph London's New Year fireworks. In previous years, either I was not even in London, or I decided to enjoy a better view and not wait in the cold from the comfort of my sofa. But not last night. I teamed up with my friend Martyn to scout a place South of London. The main idea was to find an elevated viewpoint...
