Wow, 400 followers. A lovely surprise after the Christmas and NY break. I probably should post some more photos…. #onit

My London Town. St Paul’s through a fence, with some Photoshop style trickery creating some buttery bokeh. #FramedPerspective #StPaulsCathedral #LondonViews #CreativeAngles #UrbanPhotography #ArchitectureFocus #Cityscape #ThroughTheLens #TravelPhotography #HiddenDetails

Antalya, Turkey. Sunset. Glass ball. Beautiful. #CrystalBallPhotography #SunsetMagic #Reflections #GoldenHourGlow #LensballArt #SunsetVibes #CreativePerspective #OceanViews #ArtisticShot #EveningBliss #turkey #antalya #alphabetchallenge #weekVforvibrant

A sunset photo on the coastline of Kusadasi, Turkey. Here the statue of El Heykeli sits looking out to sea, a symbol of peace. #photography #turkiye #turkey #SunsetSilhouette #GoldenHourGlow #ArtisticShot #SunsetVibes #Sunset #NatureAndArt #EveningBliss

Going underground. Under the Hoover Dam to be precise. Dark, gloomy and mysterious. I love disappearing point photography, which manifests in alleyway and street view photos. You’ll see a lot of these. #AlphabetChallenge #weekUforunder #hooverdam #photography

More looking up. Here at MoMA, NYC. The swirls work just wonderfully into the glass roof. Whilst this is no doubt a common photo, I do enjoy seeing others looking at what I’m shooting and then getting their own version. Brings a smile to my face like #photography should. #weekUforunder #moma #nyc

My true love lies in cityscapes at night. From the top of the Rockefeller a few years ago, the long exposure creates writing style squiggles in the sky. #NYCAtNight #EmpireStateBuilding #CityLights #ManhattanViews #SkylineMagic #UrbanNightscape #NewYorkCity #CityThatNeverSleeps #NightPhotography

Sunset 😊 Baltic sea Latvia 🇱🇻

100 followers in less than a week! In the grand scheme of things, that’s not exactly an achievement but for someone who struggled to break double figures in the other place, it feels good that the #photography community is here. Thanks to all! I’ll be sharing my photos regularly.

I do love an old town vibe. Here in Toledo, Spain, the Alcazar looks out over its city. A wonderful town with wonderful people. #ToledoSpain #HistoricCity #MedievalArchitecture #SpainTravel #CulturalHeritage #Cityscape #AncientStreets #TravelToSpain #SpanishHistory #ScenicViews

Another Turkish kitty. This one in Manavgat, a lovely town near Side, Turkey. #TurkishCat #Manavgat #StreetCatLove #FelineFriend #TurkishVanLife #Purrfection #CatInTurkey #CaturdayVibes #HappyCat #WhiskerWednesday #CatsOfBlueSky

Sunrise in #Pittsburgh yesterday was awesome. Second one last week where the sky really lit up, which was so much fun to capture. I bounced back and forth between the Mr. Rogers statue and river, with these being from the latter. Crazy how much the sky can change in five minutes.

Another light fitting. Here at the New York Public Library. Always look up. #OrnateCeiling #ArchitecturalDetails #CeilingArt #GeometricDesign #GoldAndBlue #InteriorArchitecture #HistoricDesign #ArtisticPatterns #weekUforunder #NewYork #NYC

You’ll see a lot of cats on this feed. Here in Antalya, one of the many maintained colonies. The most picturesque kitten in the world and their mum. I often wonder where they are now. #CatsOfTheDay #KittenLove #CatFamily #FurryFriends #CuddlyCats #GingerKitten #CatsOfBlueSky #CatPhotography

Hello Bluesky gang! Only heard good things about this platform, how does it work? I'll start off with a few of my images from the Eyðimörk mini series - all photographed in Iceland n September 2023. #iceland #landscapephotography #blackandwhite #monochrome #bw #fujifilm

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content. That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

My beautiful Valencia. The City Of Arts and Sciences. #Valencia #CityOfArtsAndSciences #Architecture #ModernDesign #Futuristic #TravelPhotography #Spain #Reflection #InnovativeDesign #BlueSkyVibes

Trying this out, escaping from X. Picture I took on my iPhone up in London earlier this week. #london #photography #shard

Another light fitting! #photography #chandelier #art

BT Tower, 2020 Olympus XA2.. before I broke it #IlfordOrtho / Perceptol #ilfordphoto #BelieveInFilm #photography

And that McDonalds in Zaragoza plagued me for years. I connected to the WiFi and my phone would FOREVER default to it whenever I tried to connect to a new WiFi. Even resetting it didn’t help. Only a new phone ended the nightmare. ‘McDonalds Zaragoza Gratis WiFi’ will live forever in my mind.

Another lucky find. Here in Zaragoza, the craziest pedestrian bridge you’ll ever see. Like a Time Tunnel vibe. There was a McDonalds on the other side, obvs. #photography #art #zaragoza #Architecture #ModernDesign #BridgePhotography #UrbanExploration #Futuristic #TravelPhotography #LinesAndCurves

Certainly one of my favourite ever shots—a golden Turkish sunset illuminating green fields and a rustic old cottage against a rolling hillside. The dramatic clouds create an unforgettable, serene landscape. Got lucky with this one. #TurkishSunset #NaturePhotography #Countryside #Landscape #Serenity

Looking up at a transmission tower near Hoover Dam, an impressive display of geometry and industrial design against a deep blue sky. The lines and angles create striking symmetry, blending engineering with artistry. #HooverDam #Geometry #IndustrialDesign #LookUp #Engineering #StructurePhotography

Sunsets are my kinda thing too. Actively pursuing them wherever I am. I love the unwritten rule of silence amongst the watchers as the sun disappears. #SunsetMagic #GoldenHour #SkyOnFire #SunsetLovers #EveningGlow #SunsetVibes #ColorfulSky #NatureBrilliance #DuskColors #ChasingSunsets

Corridors. A guilty pleasure if you will. Like snowflakes, every single one is different. Some have a ‘The Shining’ vibe. Like this one. Which looks like an infinity corridor. Come play with us indeed. #MoodyLighting #Symmetry #HallwayVibes #VintageAesthetic #HotelCorridor #Photography #goldenglow

I love capturing hidden geometry in objects - like chandelier details from new angles. Finding art everywhere. You’ll always see me looking in at light fittings. Whilst trying not to be thrown out. #GeometryPhotography #LookUp #AbstractArt #Symmetry #HiddenBeauty #ModernPhotography #DesignInspo

I don’t come from the other place with an existing audience, I didn’t feel like posting mattered there, especially #photography. Here’s hoping the community is welcoming on BlueSky.

So what’s my style (said no one ever)? I have a few favourites which I’ll show over the course of my time here. First I love a dramatic ‘up through the buildings look”. Here in NYC’s financial district. #NYC #Manhattan #Skyscrapers #LookUpNYC #UrbanPerspective #NYCBuildings #Cityscape #ExploreNYC

To the people I’ve just followed, I did the photography starter pack thingy so you know, that’s to blame!

My first BlueSky post! Manhattan skyline, the iconic One World Trade Center standing tall against a serene, clear blue sky. The waters reflect the city lights as day transitions into night. #Manhattan #NYCSkyline #GoldenHour #SunsetViews #OneWorldTrade #Cityscape #Waterfront #SkylinePhotography
