EyeEm Photo of the week.

Hi guys, I haven't had so much time on my hand to take any pictures or go on any adventure cos it's exam period and  I have a lot of chemical reactions and pathways to learn. Anyways, since the last week, the most important thing that has happened was that one of my pictures made it to the EyeEm pictures of the week, they had thirty pictures put up and mine was one. I haven't sold any pictures of late anyways so yay me!

I would upload the edited (submitted) Photograph but it might just play against my ability to sell them so here you go, make lemonade with that........ or banana split.
This was one of the pictures i took during my stay in Nairobi last Christmas; i wanted to have a picture of something more natural, more like an African scene cos tesco wasn't doing it for my eyes.
 These are our most recent posts from Lens and art
I took this one sometime during the summer when all my friends left me to die from boredom. 
         ISO-100
         f/4
         Shutter speed-1/250

This shot was from last Thursday with my infrared remote control. I turned all the lights off except that one, Wanted to create a melancholic portrait but it didn't turn out as well as I thought
        Title- Hiding in the Light
         ISO-400
         f/4.5
         Shutter speed-1/50
        All picture shot with Nikon D3200
I really don't have much to say so i'm just going to end here, Wish you guys a beautiful 'rest of the week'

Welcome to Abdulrasheed HD!

Hi, I'm not really sure how to run a blog or even start one, I'm just going to introduce myself in the easiest way I possibly can....... which is usually boring. Just in case you didn't pick it up, I'm largely considered a boring person. I am Abdulrasheed Yusuf, a Nigerian, final year student studying pharmacology at the University of Liverpool. 
 I promise I am interesting if you get to know me, or maybe my friends just say so to make me feel good about myself. Anyways, I'm an amateur photographer who isn't sure if he wants to live the rest of his life as a scientist or a professional photographer. Currently, I run an EyeEm account where I sell some of my pictures and a photography account on instagram, alongside a lovely lady, we call it Lens and art (@lensandart). We post pictures of different scenes (mainly in Liverpool) that'll grab your attention.......hopefully. I also help my brother take pictures for his franchise Cold locker, you should check it out; there are so many really nice outfits on there.

I'm very comfortable taking pictures of landscape, architecture and animals; I kinda struggle with portraits cos I'm not particularly good at posing people (or myself) and I'm not sure I should be sharing my weaknesses with you now, its only our first date.......yeah, whatever. 
Both pictures above were taken during my trip to Nairobi last year. I needed to be in a different environment for some time after almost two years within school premises. Anyways I knew it wouldn't be complete if I didn't add a picture of something in Liverpool so here you go.

                         The weeping window at St.George's Hall. 
I will be posting weekly blogs about my pictures and the thought (behind the scenes, if you may) behind the pictures and some random stuffs. Anyways have a pleasant day ahead.
