Some time ago I posted a version of this picture straight from the camera, so to speak.

The problem, from the stockphoto point of view, was that the picture included the brand name of the device.

To make it work as a stock photo I decided to replace the brand name with a generic equivalent.

It’s not that easy.

Is it an e book or e-book, with or without reader.

These are fairly new gadgets on the market and it’s not clear to me that there’s an agreed name yet.

This of course makes a problem for keywording too as potential clients searching for a picture might use a number of different variations.

Here in Bulgaria it’s been snowing since Christmas.

Yesterday I ventured out to the Boris Gardens opposite my apartment.

For this shot I used my Canon 5D Mark 11, Benro Travel angel tripod and my recently acquired 14mm Samyang Lens.

I also found a new reason to use a remote control.

It made it possible to fire the shutter while keeping my gloves on.

Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt.

This is the season for resolutions.

Over the last year I’ve been re-evaluating my backup solutions.

It’s increasingly obvious to me that a good backup policy is essential.

Still, what’s the best way fitting my workflow for now and in the future?

Here in Sofia it’s sunny and cold.

2012 Brings a new year

Time for some new thoughts on the site.

For many people last year was a bit dismal – let’s hope for better things this year.

Happy New Year

As I sat in a friend’s cabin cruiser leaving the harbour of Baltchik in Bulgaria I became fascinated by the wake patterns and took a few vertical and horizontal shots.
