#08 Bad Conditions Turned Perfect

See, anyone can shoot when conditions are perfect. 

But the ones who grow are the ones who turn misfortune into their best frame. 

So, the first step in becoming more than just some schmuck with a camera is to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start shooting the ugly, the hard, the impossible.

Because that’s where the real photographs… and the real photographers… are born.

#07 Personal

Lightroom Presets

When the light is trash. When the subject won’t cooperate. When the gear fails, the rain pours, and you’re left cursing the sky.

That’s where you learn. 

That’s where you become more than just a shutter-clicker.

Because if you can wrestle a photograph out of those brutal conditions… every easy shot after that feels like stealing candy from a baby.

One way to do that is by using Lightroom presets. 

Want mine?

Comment “Lightroom” and I’ll send you my favorites.

#06 Moments Last Forever

The best journeys are measured not in miles but in moments captured along the way.

#05 Deer

The second you stop trying to force the shot, the picture shows up. The magic happens.

Great photographs don’t need control. They need you to notice.

So loosen your grip. 

Let go.

#04 Do Whatever You Want

I do whatever I want with my photographs. If, I were a painter, I would be allowed to do as I wish.  

By the way this is the quickest way to find out what you like and what you don’t.  

And so… go out and shoot. Try different settings on your camera, try different compositions, shoot in the morning, late in the evening. 

Edit your photos in Lightroom, Luminar Neo…

You’re FREE to do whatever you want. 

Let your creativity shine. 

#03 Switched Off

Way to many times I sit on this spot, looking into the space with my mind switched off… 

No phone, no idea of time, just me and the calm water and peace in the air.

And every time I go there I search for nothing. 

I don’t want anything. 

I don’t want you to be around. 

It’s simple as that. 

That’s how I recharge!

#02 After Morning Ride

Washing MTB Bike At Sunset

A photograph of my bike at the washing station.

I took it for a quick morning spin and got some awesome photos from the session. This gotta be my favorite.

Taken on my old Sony NEX system so that I don’t have to worry about damaging my camera.

Edited in Lightroom.

If you’re like me and like to edit your photos in Lightroom, soon I’ll be releasing my set of presets.

Nothing in the air as of now, but you can comment below and I’ll send it to you when it’s ready.
