A talk about Walter Russell’s “The Universal One” book

In today’s Episode, our AI hosts are talking about Walter Russell’s “The Universal One” (1926), a book that attempts to describe the universe using a scientific and philosophical framework. Russell, a self-taught artist and architect, believed that the universe is a single, unified system governed by a set of fundamental principles. He proposed a cosmogony based on the concept of “Mind” as the underlying substance of all that exists, with light as the fundamental force that acts as the creative principle of the universe. Russell’s theory focuses on the dynamic interplay of opposing forces— electricity and magnetism – which he […]

Atmospheric Energy A Retrospective

INTRODUCTION The main goal of this project is to revive old time technologies used for atmospheric energy production and applying said technologies in different areas of human life. The advent of such technologies was a result of development of a prehistoric civilisation occupying territories of modern Siberia, Central Asia and Middle East. The regretful worldwide destruction of atmospheric energy technologies took place later due to political reasons. In order to restore them we need to divide our work into several stages. The whole restoration process is quite unique because it implies the application of now forgotten old sciences as well […]

My Approach to Event Photography: Sustainable Growth Lecture

As an event photographer, I recently had the pleasure of covering the “Sustainable Growth” inaugural lecture by Bina Mehta MBE at Bayes Business School. Here’s an inside look at my approach to capturing this special event: Pre-Event Preparation Normally I would arrive early to scout the location, but since I was familiar with it, I checked it off the list. I did notice that the venue updated the lighting in the auditorium, so a few test shots were necessary to make sure the lighting is consistent or if external flash is required. Staff and technicians usually are happy to help. […]

Capturing the Joy of George’s Christening at St. John’s Church, Epping

As a photographer, I’m often tasked with capturing life’s most precious moments. George’s christening at St. John’s Church was no exception. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was filled with joy, and the church’s beautiful stained glass windows provided a stunning backdrop for this special occasion. My goal was to capture the raw emotion and love that filled the room. I focused on the details: the tiny hands, the proud faces of the parents, the laughter of the guests. I wanted to create images that would transport the family back to this magical day for years to come. One of […]

Use AI to better your Photography

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized photography, fundamentally changing how we approach image capture. While much attention has been given to AI’s ability to generate images, this post will focus on how AI can empower beginner photographers and boost their confidence to participate in photography competitions. Reflecting on my past experiences as a member of the Preston Photography Society (2008-2010) and the Romford Camera Club (2015-2016), I recall the excitement of photography competitions. Back then, I often wished for an AI companion to provide feedback on my photos—whether it was about improving framing, enhancing colours, or adjusting contrast. With […]

Bee collecting nectar

This delightful insect is a bee! It’s busy collecting nectar from the white daisy-like flower with its brown and black banded body. The slightly transparent wings allow it to hover gracefully as it goes about its important work. The vibrant yellow center of the flower provides a sweet reward for our hardworking bee friend. Remember, bees play a crucial role in pollination, helping plants reproduce and ensuring a healthy ecosystem. So let’s appreciate and protect these little pollinators! For those interested, I used a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-70mm L lens and a 31mm Extension Tube Set for […]

New art installation outside Liverpool Street Station Elizabeth Line entrance

This new art installation erected outside Liverpool Street Station Elizabeth Line entrance makes me wonder – big and small stainless-steel balls on a string. What could it be?! I don’t know who the artist is or what he/she is trying to say with this, but considering that most of them are perverts, I’m guessing: ‘anal beads’. Feel free to come up with your own interpretation. Update 16/09/2024

Capturing the Magic of Childhood – A Sunset Family Photo Session

As a family photographer, I love capturing those special, unscripted moments of childhood wonder and imagination. Recently, I had the joy of photographing a session with a mom and her two kids, a boy and a girl, playing together in the sunset glow of Rise Park in Basildon. It was a fun, active shoot full of laughter, magic, and togetherness. The golden sunlight filtering through the trees set a beautiful scene. Both kids were thrilled to run around and explore.

Teaching My 6-Year-Old Daughter The Art of Photography: A Cozy Home Studio Experience

As a parent, there’s nothing quite as rewarding as sharing a passion with your child. For me, that passion is photography, and I recently had the pleasure of teaching my 6-year-old daughter the basics of using a camera. We set up our cozy home studio at Ozgo Productions and got to work. I started by taking photos of her and my wife, trying out different outfits. Shortly after, she took over. I showed her how to zoom in and out, adjust the aperture, and frame a subject. It was amazing to see how quickly she picked up on everything and […]

The intimate ceremony was followed by a picturesque photo shoot in the Bell Meadow park on a cloudy day, where we were able to capture some stunning group shots and romantic portraits of the newlyweds. With my trusty drone, I was able to capture some truly breathtaking shots, highlighting the natural beauty of the […]
