Exploring Adventure Through the Lens: Discovering the Extraordinary in the Everyday

As the seasons turn and the world around us transforms, the team at View From My Lens invites you to step into a realm of wonder and adventure. While far-flung travels may capture our imagination, the true magic often lies in the quiet moments and hidden gems we discover close to home.

Through our captivating videos and photography, we share a unique perspective - one that reveals the extraordinary woven into the fabric of the everyday. Whether it's the mischievous antics of our furry companion Monty, the ethereal glow of a summer sunset, or the serene beauty of a local trail, each moment we capture holds the power to transport and inspire.

Join us as we venture beyond the beaten path and uncover the stories that make every journey unforgettable. From the bustling streets of a city at dusk to the whispered secrets of a secluded forest, our lens becomes a window into worlds waiting to be explored.

Immerse yourself in the rhythm of a local market, the dance of light and shadow, the thrill of discovering something new. Allow your senses to be awakened, your curiosity piqued, your spirit stirred by the rich tapestry of experiences we share.

At Monty Photo Studios, part of the View From My Lens family, we believe that true adventure lies not just in far-flung destinations but in the art of seeing the world anew, one moment at a time. With Monty, our irrepressible Shih Tzu, as our constant companion, we embark on journeys that blend the whimsical and the sublime, capturing the essence of each experience through our lens.

From the streets of Goczałkowice-Zdrój, where shadows play across the deserted trails, to the tranquil lakes and winding paths right in our own backyard, we've learned that the most transformative photography can happen when we master the fundamentals of our craft, no matter where we stand. The hidden gift of shorter days and the approaching embrace of winter challenges us to see the world with fresh eyes, to find inspiration in the familiar and uncover the stories that exist all around us.

So come, let us be your guides as we explore the echoes of adventure, uncovering the magic that exists all around us. Whether it's the bustling energy of a city at night or the peaceful solitude of a mountain sunrise, join us on a journey that celebrates the beauty in the everyday and the extraordinary within the familiar.

At View From My Lens, we believe that the true essence of travel lies not just in the destination, but in the way we experience it. So let us share our unique perspective with you, one captivating moment at a time. Allow your senses to be awakened, your curiosity piqued, and your spirit stirred by the rich tapestry of experiences we have to offer.

Redesigning MontyPix: A Reflection on Purpose and Presence

Image
Websites, even the smallest of them, have a way of telling a story. For us, MontyPix began as something purely functional—a digital signpost pointing people towards our photography and studios. Useful, yes, but it always felt like it was missing something. Over time, I realised that a link site is often the first encounter people have with our work. It is the doorway. And like any doorway, it should give you a sense of what lies beyond. Ours wasn’t doing that—it was practical, but it didn’t speak. The redesign was born out of a desire to make MontyPix more than just a collection of links. It became about creating an experience. When shaping the new design, three principles guided me: Clarity — Visitors shouldn’t have to think twice about where to click. Simplicity is powerful, and reducing friction makes the journey effortless. Visual presence — As photographers, we live and breathe aesthetics. The site needed to echo that, with visuals that engage without overwhelming. ...

Zbiornik Retencyjny Gańczorka – Reflections Beneath a Summer Sky

Image
Beneath the kind of summer sky that seems impossibly blue and heavy with light, we set out for Zbiornik retencyjny „Gańczorka”. The road wound steadily upward through stretches of pine and birch, the air shifting from the heat of the valleys to the cooler whispers of the hills. Even before we caught sight of the water, there was a sense that the day would leave its mark. When we arrived, the reservoir lay before us like a sheet of liquid glass, its stillness disturbed only by the faintest ripple. Here, engineering and nature share an uneasy alliance — the concrete walls and channels holding back a body of water that seems too wild to be contained. The sun poured gold over the surface, and every shift of the breeze sent waves of light dancing into the trees that guard its edges. Dorota and I wandered the winding paths, sometimes close to the water’s edge, other times climbing to look down upon it from above. The forest was alive with soft rustlings — the sound of leaves stirred by the...

Beneath the Trees Beside the Water Lake Paprocany in Fragments

Image
A 6.5-kilometre circular walk around Lake Paprocany unfolds as a journey of quiet discovery, where every step reveals subtle moments often overlooked. Shadows stretch across wooden walkways, sunlight glimmers on rippling water, and the gentle rustle of leaves provides a soft soundtrack for contemplation. Monty, nestled comfortably in his little Monty truck, pauses between short explorations, enjoying treats and water, while we, too, take frequent breaks to savour the shade, breathe in the scent of the forest, and notice the distant calls of birds echoing across the lake. The day was documented through multiple perspectives. The Nikon D7200 captured intricate textures and fleeting details of the path, the DJI Pocket 2 recorded intimate close-ups that reveal hidden corners, and the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone offered sweeping aerial views of the lake, the surrounding forest, and the winding paths, presenting familiar landscapes in a new light. Each photograph becomes a meditation on the interpl...
