Edinburgh Street Photography Workshop

  After almost a year hibernating from photography, finally I decided to get back and do more workshops. I’ve been busy doing my soul works since end of 2017, now I’m back doing both soul works and photography.

I’d like to start with Edinburgh for next year workshop, hopefully I’ll be able to expand it outside Scotland, well…I did York last March and it was good, busy place and nice to see other…

I think I’m late to post this news that happened in last October. I had a tremendous time in Hull as a Photowalk leader.

I was so excited that I I enjoy spending 8 hours Journey from where live to Hull.

Talking about the event, I couldn’t believe how I got there but I’m sure it something to do with Matt Hart that being generous invited me and his trust in my ability.

To me personally it was such…

Hi everyone I apologise for the delay in posting some of my results from the Edinburgh Photowalk in November 2017 By the way, I received some images and these three are my favourite by far, not being picky though, I like to see pictures with some effort made, a nice composition and “something” in them. Street Photography is not a matter of snapping your camera on the street, you have to focus on…

I know there are many blogs out there about this specific camera but my one is special, why? because I am using this camera to death in order to understand it inside out. This camera is amazing for Street Photographer. But, only if you have the passion. This blog is 100% based on my experience. Read along if you are interested, or you can stop here.

Why I bought this camera? To be honest, I tried…

When I started Street Photography 7 or 8 years ago, I was just snapping people, their movements and their behaviour in everyday life, as simple as that. But I was a beginner then.

The city that I do most of my Street Photography in is Edinburgh, we have so little light here and that makes it very difficult. But I love Street so much, I don’t want to give up because of the lack of light, I’m…

This is my 3rd Edinburgh Photowalk, unlike previous ones, from now on, my Photowalk will focus on Street Photography only.

The theme for this photowalk is “shadows”, unfortunately the sun appeared in the morning before we started the Photowalk and reappeared 30 minutes before the walk ended, luckily me and Pamela were at the right place and the right time, we spotted a dapple light and decided to…

I’m craving for a new technique in Street Photography,  after searching for some tips and tricks online, I decided to try using a flash.

I’m not familiar with using a flash and my intention was to use the EF X20, but for some reason it took too long to switch on and I didn’t have the the patience as it was getting chilly outside, I decided to use a built in flash.

Well, it was tricky at the…

Lisbon trip with Fuji X100T

Shooting in Lisbon ©Fidalgo Pedrosa

I’ve heard this many times before, Lisbonis one of the best cities for Street photography and I agree! I witnessed the beautiful light and friendly people during my visit and I am lucky to have many good photographer friends that lives in Lisbon. We walked for miles in the hot sun, it was 42° but somehow we had fun! This is our journal on our PhotoWalks day…

Various lens for Street Photography (My journey)

I remember when I started Street photography, I used a zoom lens 18-200mm and a kit lens. Yes the zoom lens was heavy to carry around. The good thing in using a zoom lens in learning Street photography,  I was able to visualise seeing something  unusual, I was a learner then (I still am now).  Here is my favourite image taken with a 18-200mm:

What interested me…

Glasgow…

It wasn’t my plan until a friend sent me a message inviting me for a hot pot lunch in Glasgow. I said why not, I haven’t seen them for quite a while, and I miss Glasgow for it’s crowds. I need a change from Edinburgh.

I arrived in Glasgow just after 10 am, I don’t really do shopping unless I have to, I told my friends to meet them at lunch time so I can have a couple hours meandering around…

Visited Madrid with Fuji X100T

This is our second time we have visited Madrid, but this time I’ve done so many things during our 4 days visit. After nearly 2 years using Fuji X100T I finally feel confident using this camera for the whole Madrid visit.

Our first day, we went strolling around the local area enjoying some beers and tapas (tapas often comes free with drink orders). Nothing can’t beat the cold beer in hot weather,…
