Hello Everyone!
It is my first post here so I would like to introduce myself a bit...
My name is Tomasz Szatewicz, around 40 years old, I was born in Mragowo, small town in north-east part of Poland but these days I live and work in Inverness - the heart of Scottish Highlands. I am mainly a landscape and nature photographer but I like to shoot other subjects too - portraits, animals, macro, abstract works ...
If/when time allows I also compose and release electronic/ambient/experimental music under the moniker Subradial and few others Nitesky, electrees ...
I also record and collect various sounds (sounds of nature, cities, all sort of 'found sounds' etc...) that I often mix with my music...
My interest in photography began during primary school when I used to take photographs with analogue cameras and spent many hours processing films and prints in old fashioned darkrooms. I have gained a MA degree in Fine Arts and worked for years as a graphic designer but always felt photography was the medium that fascinates me the most.
This passion grew in me over the years and lead to a professional photography business under the name Land of Light Photography
International recognition, few awards in landscape photography competitions, great responses from fellow photographers and followers convinced me to focus entirely on photography and continue the path I have chosen...
I run individually tailored landscape photography workshops and photo tours across Scottish Highlands and Moray that help people improve their photo skills, learn about shooting with filters and also visit spectacular, often hidden and remote spots around Scotland. I do it all by myself and on a small scale but so far it works very well and I can do what I love - explore great outdoors and photograph spectacular landscapes under unique and ever-changing light and weather conditions.
Here on Steemit I will share stories and photographs from my workshops and photo tours across Scotland, tips, tricks and thoughts about photography in general, compositions, shooting various exposures, using filters and other gear so anyone who enjoy photography, nature, landscapes and Scotland should find something interesting and hopefully useful as well...
Please scroll down to see few samples of the photographs that I will often share here...
I hope you like the shots and my first post, if you do - please follow my profile / up vote / share...
Many thanks!

You have some great pics! You can go far in Steemit with great photography. I upvoted and followed you. I cant wait to see what kinds of post you make here. FYI Steem is at a really great price (to buy) right now, so if you can save your rewards you get right now, it could be worth a lot down the road a little bit! Anyway Welcome and enjoy your time here!
Oh I also do music, I was a DJ for a longtime, now more just for fun, but I love recording sounds and turning them into different things too. I would like to get a better mobil recorder maybe the ZOOM H6 I was thinking.
Here is a pic of my studio
Excellent, many thanks for the kind words @adamdonmez ZOOM should work well, I always thought Sony has excellent sounding recorders, mixed feelings about Tascam (I had one to try and the sound wasn't as clear as others), I own Olympus recorder and take it with me everywhere, I hope you will enjoy my feed here, I will post more when time allows, heading for a photo workshop to Glencoe area tomorrow, best regards!
Welcome Tomasz! Amazing photos you shared with us.
I am as well a photographer but as a hobby, not at the level you are :D
Looking forward to more of your content!

Will definitely look at them for some inspiration :D

Welcome to Steemit! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! I explain this initiative on one of my previous post.
There are a number of great content creators on the platform to help you on your journey. I have used @gold84 guide as a starting reference for many tasks that can be done here on #Steemit. As I continued to expand this initiative, I continue to find great content and guides for new users such as this post from @finnian who not only includes a great step-by-step process of registering for #Steemit but also provides great security and engagement tips as well to help you on your journey.
Keep your eyes out for these tips and references to help you on your journey to becoming a minnow! It is also a great idea to follow some of the great projects being built on the #STEEM blockchain. You can see these projects here. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!
