Under the City of Edinburgh on a cold, wet Saturday night. Click on the image to enlarge.

Under the City

It was a cold wet night.....people were above, running in all directions.
I could hear ghastly screams...explosions could be heard nearby and also in the distance.
Under ground, below City level, lived the poor. People who would struggle from day to day trying to survive, to feed themselves, to shelter from the elements. Whilst all the time the rich folks above were basking in luxury, oblivious through choice I may add to all that was going on beneath them. Yes, 'beneath them'. For so many years the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. The tax paying public, of all varieties of wealth and poverty, had been drained completely over the years.

Forth Road Bridge

Found nearby the grounds of the Abbey on Iona.

A beatiful day with gorgeous scenery.

Tide Out.

This old boat was found on route to the Iona ferry.

A popular subject for photographers visiting the area.

Tide out, Salen.

Footpath to one of the many white sandy beaches on Iona.

This is one of many shots of the old pier at Salen on the Isle of Mull.

I took many at different tides using different techniques but this one works for me.

Just an out of focus picture with no rlevance at all.

Ma Tay is freezin!

A shot of the River Tay during a bleak winter spell.

Defenders of Arbroath

Numan & Wild 30 years on.

30 years on and we meet again. I went to see Gary Numan in Glasgow last night. Great to see him again, we had a blether and a laugh, a great night.

HDR - High Dynamic Range

Taken today from under the Friarton Bridge just outside Perth.

A9 Cloud formation.

Sadly I couldn't find anything for foreground interest to set this picture but I do love the cloud formation.



Taken from the dual carriageway between Dundee and Perth.

Classic Cars.

I found these pictures I'd taken from a couple of years ago and only today did I work them out.....
They were 'nice' pics originally, but I think after a couple of years they have improved with knowledge of processing.


And finally......Christine.

Tay Bridge - Day Seven.

So a nicotine free day seven has arrived....a beautiful morning in Tayside. So off I went in search of an image capture. I found myself in Wormit opposite Dundee on the other side of the River Tay. I took some shots of the Tay Rail Bridge, I've been after this location for a while now. I finally got there.
Just click on the picture to see a larger view.

I'll post a few other shots later.....

The above image was bracketed using 6 different exposures, I then combined them using HDR processing in Photomatix.

There you go...now you know!

......and finally, the shot below from a slightly different angle.

Day Six

So day six and I'm kicking the ass of nicotine. Not missing it at all, not in the slightest!
Got the day off from work so will try and get some photos maybe?



I don't have a ND10 filter so I dismanteld my welding mask and removed the glass.
I found a way to attach the glass to the lens hood using elastic bands. Hey Presto..an ND12 filter.
The above image and the ones below were shot using the welding glass, it does leave a green colour cast but that can easily be balanced out in Lightroom.
