Creative space is not just a luxury, but often the most elusive ingredient when we seek to grow our skills with the camera. Let's talk about the problem of finding space to be creative, and fitting in a little photography around the rest of our lives. youtu.be/22ZeVXBNe2U #EwenTube #Photography

If I actually do the thing I've been putting off for three weeks, I can close all those tabs? Holy shit.

Even professionals get stuck in a rut sometimes, but with the benefit of a little inspiration we can find our way out again. In this video I share some thoughts from my latest journey through Nepal, and the scenery of the Annapurnas. YouTube youtu.be/SwIwo6wsYzU #Photography #EwenTube #Lumix

I took the Peak Design Outdoor 45L Backpack deep into the Himalayas to find out how well this performs as a camera bag, and how tough it stacks up compared to my older and trusted Peak Design Travel Pack. YouTube Version: youtu.be/EW8Xv0avTiY #PeakDesign #CameraBag #Outdoor45L #EwenTube

It's the tiny flecks of silvery blue on the wing tips and eyespots that make it special for me. And that little rhino snout :) #ScalyWings #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix #Butterflies #HelloPetal

Slow shutter snow shenanigans. Annat 'High Street' late last night. No-one but us and the deer were out. Kudos to the Scottish Water team out during the night for several hours after we went to bed. #Torridon #UKSnow Photos by Lynn and Paul. @lynnhenni.bsky.social @paulhenni.bsky.social

~Kissing the Sun~ Sometimes a wildflower and the rising sun is enough for me. A greater pasque flower [Pulsatilla grandis] and the rising sun above Vienna. Happy Weekend! #wildflower #naturephotography #canon #photography #bokeh #austria

CERT in Poland (Computer Emergency Response Team) published its report about how social media companies refuse to cooperate in the fight with scams and false advertising. Not hard to work out why! Facebook now blocks posts that link to this report. cert.pl/posts/2024/1...

Shellie and I are spending this week making final preparations for our winter in the Arctic. I love being up there, for the auroras, the snow, the reindeer... And to spend time with my favourite person in the world :) ewenbell.com/blog/ #photography #auroras

For the 1st time ever i'm dowsing imposter syndrome & I am immensely proud of my calendar 2025. Saw the proofs in ChCh on Weds, honestly I could have hugged the rep, they are that good. Site live this morning! World's shortest turn around & limited print run. paullecomtephoto.nz/products/202...

I get overwhelmed sometimes. Like at art museums. I remember walking into the Monet room in Chicago and my head nearly exploded. Even the gift shop was sensory overload. I enjoy small connections of work, like a photography exhibition but a single person. /1

If you wanna see a bunch of lovely pics from the Annapurnas in Nepal, or maybe you've been to Nepal yourself some years ago and wished you'd taken the camera... Am sharing this blog post to celebrate why this is such a special part of the world for photographers. ewenbell.com/blog/Photogr...

I made a longer video on the same theme, looking at the long term picture of what it means to work for yourself and try to keep the wheels turning when you're self-employed. "What does a sustainable photography career look like?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKK3...

Last year I penned an essay about the perils of being self-employed and the importance of self-care when it comes to dumping the clients that ruin your mojo. It's a lesson I often have to relearn. #Freelance #Blogging ewenbell.com/blog/Creativ...

This was from the first time Shellie came to Nepal with me. She's my favourite person in the world. Ever. Everything's better with Shellie :)

I did it. If you also say "thank you" to the bus driver when you get off the bus, please let me know and I will add you. Please follow these driver thankers who are probably also good community members in other ways. go.bsky.app/6FDjhev

There’s nothing quite like supercells in the High Plains

Other corvids are nice too. 🪶

Composition is often tackled by jamming in as much as you can. Trying to do everything in a single frame. I prefer to step back from that, and allow for the quiet moments to take over my creative focus. One frame at a time. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

If you haven't noticed my photography is about exploring a subject, and curating a set of images to walk through that story. It's not about a single image, but the relationship between many. Hence this thread :) "Temple walls in Chame." #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

Tuck stop in Timang. I love the rooftop seating, with 360° views to mountains and a basket of friend momos for lunch. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

Sky high in the Himalayas. Timang, on the way to Manang. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

🌊 "Nowhere on Earth is there a greater cause of uncertainty in sea-level rise projections than from East Antarctica, in Australia’s backyard. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet alone holds enough water to raise global sea levels by approximately 50m if completely melted." www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

I am a living example of planned obsolescence.

Whenever I hear folks tell me how hard they work (and that's why they're so wealthy) I think about all those other people who also work really hard but didn't end up with views of Sydney Harbour. I struggle to reconcile my good fortune in life. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

Have been thinking about my photography a lot lately, and what it means to me on a personal level. Because so much of my life revolves around other people, and clients and everything other than what I want. #Photography #Nepal #EwenInNepal #Lumix #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite

'Rain In Keem Bay' I’ve had a heavy cold all week and this morning I got drenched on the way into a twelve hour shift. Immediately I thought back to standing under an umbrella as waves of rain fell from the sky. Good times! #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Nature #NaturePhotography #Ireland

Good morning all. Here's a local traffic jam... #Photography #Sheep #NorthPennines

Riding high. Prayer flags on the handle bars of a motorcycle. Upper Pisang on the way to Manang. 3200m elevation. "Om mani padme hum" #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite

Happy #portfolioday 🩷 I’m Brittany, and I love cute, color, whimsy, and joy ! Nature scenes and magic, talking animals and starry skies. Interested in #kidlit opportunities, discover more at britspixels.com !

Some of my most sentimental shots from 2024 📸

The streets of Besisahar. Tuk Tuks are everywhere in this part of Nepal. And not just left over tuk tuks from somewhere else, but brand new ones. In cool colours. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix #TukTukLove

Morning light across the town of Besisahar. The problem with getting up for the best light of the day is that the rest of the light of day seems not nearly as lovely! Perhaps I should stay in bed longer :) #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix

From my Horse series. I worked with these horses for over a year before I photographed them. This is Toby - a very nervous horse that I worked closely with in order for him to gain my trust - all photos are taken in a field & close up - I am lying on the floor next to him. It was freezing rain.

Having to block accounts that are posting AI slop as if it's photography or art. A report option for it would,unfortunately, be pointless but you should be able to flag it as AI and it gets a label so that other people don't share it thinking it's real.

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Photography is often a form of meditation for me. I focus on what is beautiful, and what draws my energy in a positive way, and how to express that within the confines of a camera. Petals and pixels. #EwenInNepal #Photography #Nepal #Lumix #HelloPetal

Do you think you can identify a snake by its colour alone? Check out this bunch of Spotted Blacksnakes Pseudechis guttatus from the north-west slopes of NSW! These snakes enjoy their personal space and are best admired from a distance #WildOz #herps #Oznature

Today I found this beautiful Long Green Crab Spider (Cetratus rubropunctatus) marooned on a water lily bud. My guess is it fell from overhanging branches. It seemed happy - almost eager - to climb onto my finger, pose for a few photos, and then be carried to a nearby bush. #spidersky #spiders

In case you didn’t know, I am also a huge Moo Deng fan.

I hope this helps explain why I don’t base my opinions on 9th grade biology.
