The Richard Flint Photography Podcast Richard Flint Photography

A location podcast from a wet and windy Campbeltown (Mull of Kintyre) looking back at two weeks of travels around the Isle of Arran and the Mull of Kintyre.

Lots of photography with the weather adding some drama to the skies and coastline.

Check out the websites and the richardflintphoto Instagram feed for some images from my travels.

In the podcast: With Twitter, now called X, making further changes to its platform and its lifespan up for debate, is it time to move back to blogging? Four great photography links including a history of photography TV series via YouTube.
