Teaching myself to shoot video on the A6700 in Bodrum, scene by scene. What I set, what I learned, and what I got wrong.

A field settings reference for the Sony A6700 built from real shooting in Bodrum. Scenario settings and what I learned from each.

Eighteen days in Bodrum in early March. Sun, sea swimming, training, remote work, and the routine I build when I leave London.

What started as buying a camera for AWS demo videos turned into teaching myself photography, Lightroom, and building a full gallery pipeline from scratch. Six months in, this is how it unfolded.

Everything I own for the Sony A6700. What I bought, when, where from, what it cost, and why.

A Finnish blueberry pie adapted for UK ingredients. Full method, nutrition breakdown, and notes from a second-time baker.

A vegetable bulgur pilaf, a lamb shoulder version, and a chicken thigh version built on the same base. Why bulgur earns a place in a performance diet, and how to cook all three.

How I added a full photo gallery system to my Jekyll Chirpy site. S3 and CloudFront for image hosting, custom layouts for album pages, and Fancybox for lightbox viewing. Built for travel photography and designed so anyone with a Chirpy site can replicate it.

Learning to edit RAW photos in Lightroom Classic for the first time. Profile choice, tonal adjustments, HSL, masking, preset creation, and export for CloudFront delivery.

The full culling workflow from 1,668 RAW images down to 467 intentional keeps. AI-assisted first pass, manual review, burst trimming, star ratings, and purpose-based collections.
