Timeless Egypt https://journals.worldnomads.com/franciscollins/ Sat, 18 Apr 2026 13:01:28 GMT World Nomads Adventures I love travelling to areas largely untouched by modern living and where local traditions prevail and natural beauty is unblemished. I have always viewed life as if through a lens. However I became serious about photography when I got my first digital camera in 2008 and have progressed to manual settings about which I realise I have much to learn. Whereas before my approach to taking photos was casual I now am more proactive. What I want are images that can tell a story and are enduring. My ambition is to be able to take photos with all the necessary technical knowledge deeply ingrained in my mind and not acting as a distraction. I find that many images come to me when all extraneous matters are exorcised from the mind. I so much enjoy these "purple" periods but in order to achieve them I must master the necessary expertise so that it is subconsciously at my disposal. That is my goal! https://journals.worldnomads.com/franciscollins/photos/39071/Egypt/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Egypt franciscollins https://journals.worldnomads.com/franciscollins/photos/39071/Egypt/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/franciscollins/photos/39071/Egypt/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:15:00 GMT 0
