I arrived in Dubrovnik from Zagreb, and if you plan to visit and are arriving at Dubrovnik Airport, I recommend organizing your transportation from the airport to your accommodation before arrival. It’s easier, and the drive to Dubrovnik around Old Town is scenic. The Airbnb was located above the Old Town, which provided a great view.

Looking back after a few weeks, and having that time to reflect on this portion of my final trip of the year, Dubrovnik was absolutely a great choice to include. Croatia has been on my list of places to visit for some time, and my days there were blessed with fantastic weather and amazing scenery. I had time to casually explore at my own pace, enjoying the early morning light on some occasions and the sunsets on others.

My trip to Zagreb was one of the most spontaneous location decisions I have made when planning travel. I do not know anyone personally who has even been to the city. I didn’t conduct much research before choosing it, nor did I do much in the period between booking and arriving in Zagreb.

I travelled when I was younger. I took a handful of trips to Montreal, Quebec, to visit my aunt or road trips across the border in Maine with my mother. Growing up in New Brunswick, Canada, cross-border drives were not uncommon. In my teens, I recall driving to Calais, Maine, to purchase CDs and cassettes that were unavailable at home. A fantastic music store just over the border had an incredible selection of hip-hop albums.

Light painting requires careful consideration of what you are capturing and how you capture it. Checking your exposures to ensure you have the intended portions of the vehicle lit as intended is essential to the success and impact of your final composition.

I took an overnight flight from Halifax, arriving in Amsterdam early this morning. I have a few hours here before my flight to Zagreb. I’ve been reflecting on my travels lately; it’s only been three months since I returned from Spain, which feels recent, yet here I am, on the move again.

Soon after I returned from Spain, I began searching for my next trip. Even though I was glad to get back, once I started going through the images and videos captured in Spain, I realized that I wanted to book something else soon. There is a lot of joy in having something to look forward to, and with this trip scheduled for early September, it would give me a chance to pay for everything over time.

When shooting with Fujifilm cameras, dynamic range can initially seem confusing, but understanding and utilizing the dynamic range (DR) settings can dramatically improve your photos, especially in challenging lighting conditions. Fujifilm’s dynamic range feature helps preserve details in the brightest and darkest highlights, allowing you to capture images with richer tonal depth and less risk of blown-out highlights or crushed shadows.

A good backpack is an essential accessory that protects your valuable gear, offers comfort during travel, provides easy access to your equipment, and hopefully provides some space for smaller purchases like souvenirs, snacks, or a bottle of water. Preferably, this backpack will be the only bag you need and the one option to carry everything for a day of exploration.

Peggy’s Cove and the iconic Peggy’s Point Lighthouse are among the most recognized and frequently visited landmarks in Nova Scotia. The area around Peggy’s Cove has some exquisite coastal scenery, a fascinating fishing village atmosphere, and the iconic Peggy’s Point lighthouse at the entrance to St. Margaret’s Bay.

Using custom film recipes on Fujifilm cameras is one of the most enticing reasons people seek out this brand. They can find a camera that suits their needs, as Fujifilm offers a wide range of diverse and fantastic options, and allows users to refine and create a look directly in-camera using film simulations and recipes.

I had the opportunity to explore and photograph Seville and Malaga during my recent travels in June. These two locations are two places I have been looking forward to visiting. Seville has been on my list for a few years now, and Malaga, with its proximity to Seville, was an easy decision to include on this trip.
