Happy World Tourism Day!

This year’s theme is “Tourism and Sustainable Transformation” to highlight tourism’s transformative potential to bring about positive change.

This video shows some of the places where I take clients when they come on a trip with me in Scotland.

It was in the next post but thanks for pointing out that I forgot to include it here as well 🤦🏻‍♀️

The difference is that the first shot was taken using the NiSi CPL filter and the second one was without it 🙂

You can also watch the podcast on @grantswinbournephotography.com YouTube channel.

It’s out!

That’s a wrap for this year’s Edinburgh Festival.

The Tattoo finished on Saturday, the Festival finished yesterday, and the Fringe finishes today.

I missed most of it but got to take clients to see the pipers coming down the Royal Mile after their performance at the Tattoo.

Thanks so much 😊

A little bit of urban ICM (intentional camera movement) from Montreal when I was there last September/October. I love how the modern architecture there lends itself so well to ICM.

Beautiful shot Paul. I love the tones 😍

The water is actually extremely shallow so there wouldn’t be enough to swim in unfortunately. I went to a few other falls where there were people swimming under them. It was during a heatwave and was very hot so it must have been glorious 🥰

Thanks so much ☺️

Waterfall shot using long exposure technique and NiSi filters - CPL, 4-stop ND, and soft GND

Oops! I missed sharing this yesterday for Waterfall Wednesday.

I found this gorgeous little waterfall last summer while in northern Italy for a few days after a scouting trip in Slovenia and Croatia. It was one of my faves.

You’re welcome Steve 😊

Ah! I was thinking it was somewhere around Tofino or Ucluelet. Not too far away though. I had planned on getting there when I was over on the Island in late Jan/early Feb but the snow during the cold snap messed up my plans 😢

How gorgeous is the west coast of BC?! 🥰

Beautiful 😍 I knew as soon as I saw it that it had to be Vancouver Island. No matter how much time I spend there, it’s never enough.

An image of waves hitting the beach in Vancouver during sunset with golden pink light reflecting on the water. Shot in long exposure using ICM technique (Intentional Camera Movement) with NiSi filters.

One of my favourite moments from the winter was an afternoon in mid-Jan spent at one of the beaches in Vancouver. It was just before sunset with the golden pink of the clouds above reflecting on the waves.

If you saw my last post where I asked about the difference between two similar looking images, here’s what made them different.

The NiSi True Color circular polariser. The first image was with the polariser, the second one was without it.

#longexposure #landscapephotography #femalephotographer

Good guess but it’s not that. The shots were taken a couple of minutes apart with the same light and conditions on the same camera and on the same tripod.

What’s the difference between these two images?

They were shot at exactly the same settings and I edited them exactly the same.

Seven years ago today we lost my mum to breast cancer. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her and miss her ❤️‍🩹

We just had another earthquake in Vancouver at 5am PST. I was lying in bed about to get up. I thought at first it was a big truck driving by. Then I realized it was another earthquake, but not as strong or as long as the one a couple of weeks ago. This is becoming a bit too frequent! #vancouver #bc

Beautiful shot Sophie 👏

Love this! ☺️

The City of Vancouver is totally ignoring what the public wants. There is a meeting this evening at 6:30pm PST with the City and Vancouver Park Board where this is on the agenda.

Please sign the petition to show your support for keeping the Aquatic Centre as is and spread the petition around. /end

The architects/consultants, who have already been paid more than $10 million, have not included the 50 metre pool in their plans even though this was originally supposed to be a top priority. /3
