Dear Flickr Friends,
I wanted to let you know that I’ll be re-uploading some of my older photo albums. Many of these were previously removed when I cancelled my Pro subscription. If you do browse through them, please keep in mind that when I began my photography journey in 2015, I had very little knowledge about cameras, photography, or post-processing.
At the time, I came across some HDR images and thought they looked impressive—though, in hindsight, they really weren’t. Eager to try it myself, I purchased a program called Photomatix (still available today for £79 at HDRsoft).
Looking back 11 years later, I now consider it a poor choice. I would have achieved better results by simply sticking to standard photography. While I no longer use HDR techniques, I do occasionally use Aurora HDR, but only for processing single images.
From the beginning, I’ve always aimed to make my photos stand out and have a unique touch—though admittedly, many of my early attempts were quite shocking! Even today, I strive to develop a recognizable personal style, inspired by the likes of Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Annie Leibovitz.
Some of the images I’m re-uploading are far from perfect, but we all have to start somewhere. What’s puzzling, though, is that back in 2015, I didn’t realize just how much I still had to learn!
But if nothing else they will give you some kind of insight to these places and countries around the world and places I have really enjoyed visiting.
Warm regards,
Kevin
