As you may know, I've been chasing this epic London sunrise holy grail timelapse for about a month. To the point it had almost become an obsession. And of course it was never guaranteed that I would get it! But the efforts finally paid off. You can find all about it in my latest YouTube video
First (and so far only) day of snow of 2021 so of course I had to go out for a Snow In London photowalk! I love the snow, maybe because it is always been so rare in every city I have lived in. In Florence for example, people still talk about the snow of 1985
Happy New Year my friends! We are finally leaving 2020 behind us
I'm publishing a video editing breakdown of my latest YouTube video, "Fog", to thank you all. The feedback you are giving me on these latest cinematic vlogs and the response on YouTube have been incredible. I am still a very small channel and seeing that my recent videos are watched by thousands of you means a lot. A lot. So, thank you all very much! This video editing breakdown is
Today we're looking at fog photography in London. In particular, a lot of cityscape and some street "fog photography".

Time for some rain photography! Street photography to be exact. Most foreigners think it always rains in London but in reality it's mostly cloudy or just drizzling (and we do have sunny days, harsh ones too). Now, coming from Italy, I don't really fancy going out when it's grey, let alone pouring rain. But I do appreciate it's a very good opportunity for photography. And so I force myself to
I decided I'd try a different format for my YouTube vlog and embark in a Photo Mission to shoot the moonrise in London. To be completely honest, the idea came up while I was editing my footage. But all I filmed made perfect sense in such format, so I decide to put it together this way. I had not really decided to go out to take the resulting shot, mainly
I wrote about Luminosity Masks in Photoshop already on this blog. It's a very powerful technique that I use a lot in my landscape and cityscape photography. I find it a lot more efficacious than letting my camera or a software decide what a good HDR photo is automatically. Yes, it may take a bit longer. But the results a far more satisfactory.
