A recent customer purchased the digital version before visiting Istanbul, and he wrote me then: "To be honest the book was perfect, it included the best amount of pictures and text. I would be very happy if you offered more photobooks for other cities, because they are high quality and helpful." ๐๐ป

It's taken a while to find a very good publisher who would allow me to sell at a more affordable price, but I've finally found one! So, my Istanbul Guide and Photobook is now available as a hardcover print as well: fabienb.blog/the-wait-is-...

The sun setting behind the Sky Garden in London, beautiful orange sky
To me it's not even much about taking the photo: I get most of the excitement from researching, planning, scouting locations, meeting people along the way...
Then, I am of course very happy when it goes to plan. But every one of these photos is so much more than a snap ๐ฅฐ

Partial solar eclipse earlier today. The British weather had a timid attempt at bringing the clouds... Not on my watch!

The partial lunar eclipse of the Worm Moon behind the Shard skyscraper in London, photographed by Fabien Butazzi - @fabien
A grey wall of clouds before and after.
Just enough gap right on time to get the photo I wanted.
Lucky, yes. But you make your own luck by keep trying, again and again. And again.

Apple's AI photo editing revolution is coming! ๐ผ๏ธโจ
Voice commands will soon let you edit photos on iPhone just by speaking. Say "Apply cinematic preset" and it's done.
How will this change your photo editing workflow?

I experienced my first server crash caused by too many visitors at once on my blog. All because of this post: "#AI at #Meta, How to Object and Deny Consent".
I wish more people would come to my blog to enjoy my photography, but it's a start ๐
