❤My Favourite Things

🎬YouTube Video:

Loved Peter McKinnon’s Iceland video. The sound design is just phenomenal. It’s called “Where photography takes you”. Pro tip, use good headphones to watch this, that will give you the full experience of the sounds design.

📕Book:

Reading book 3 in the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson but also flicking through Price Harry’s Memoire Spare. Both are going good. I also read Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson last week which takes place between Book 2 and Book 3 of the Stormlight Archive.

📝Quote:

"I will not be a pawn. I will not live in fear of the future. I will shape it, bend it to my will. I will not be broken. I will not falter. I will stand against the darkness, and I will burn it away." -Kaladin Stormblessed, character from the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson.

🔍I’m Learning:

I started learning photography after one year of buying a camera. Good timing, right? Send me any tips or good resources to learn from.
