Dive into an endless ocean

I have been digging through my hard drive lately, looking at the endless stream of pictures I’ve taken the last couple of years. Thought I’d try to post some of them here on my blog, think it’s interesting to look at how much my photographs have changed in the years. These pictures are filled with noise and low resolution and I never saved anything as a RAW at that time, but I still like the idea.
Pictures taken four years ago (can’t believe it’s been so long!).
Sunniva is the model. I just love the red leaves in the background, lighting up almost like a fire!
I’m sick right now, which means that the beautiful weather in Edinburgh unfortunately is not getting documented with my camera. Going on a weekend trip to Dublin on Friday, so hopefully both weather and health will be at its best then, and I can return with a bunch of great photos!
I’ve got lots of pieces that I set in place

Recommend a walk up Calton Hill for everyone either visiting or staying in Edinburgh! Forget about Arthur’s seat, this is where the view is breathtaking! Had such a lovely day, walking around taking pictures. Hoping for more sunny days in the near future!
Turned 22 a couple of days ago. My birthday was above all expectations, I have so many amazing friends here that made sure I had a great time! Feels so good to be here in Edinburgh, studying what I’m studying and having so much fun with all my new friends. Can’t say I’d ever imagine doing anything else at this point.
The last stop

Oh my, I’ve already been back for over three weeks, and today was my first day out with my camera since I got back! Not good. The concept of time is a bit hard to grasp right now, it feels like I’ve only been back for a couple of days, but at the same time it feels like I never left.
My new courses at Uni are so interesting, I’ve met a lot of amazing people, started a new and healthier life style which include exercise a couple of times a week, and made a proper budget to stick to for this semester. Also passed my exams for the first semester, which was a huge relieve!

The weather today was so lovely that you’d have to be a fool not to take a walk outside. So i layered up and went out with my camera, exploring all the beautiful places that Edinburgh has to offer. Today’s trip went up Regent Road, and it only took a couple of hundred meters before I found a beautiful old cemetery called Old Calton Cemetery.
It might seem a bit odd for some people that you would choose to go for a lovely afternoon walk in a cemetery, but there are just so many amazing photo opportunities there! The old graves with green moss on top of them, the details and the colors are just perfect for some nice pictures. I find the peace and quiet so relaxing, and usually imagine how peoples lives where when reading the old graves, what they did for a living, how old they were and if they had kids, wives, husbands. A cemetery reminds me more of the life that was than the actual death.
Also went up Calton Hill. Will post pictures from that later this week. Quite a busy week coming up, so it might be good to “store” some pictures! I’ll promise to keep the posts to a more frequent level than what it’s been the last three weeks!
