Spring skyline

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I was out yesterday taking loads of photos for a mini project that I’m doing. Have you ever seen those fake miniature tilt and shift photos? There’s a big craze for them at the moment, and I don’t want to feel left out. The only problems is that it’s going to take me a little while to get it right, but I hope that by the end of today I’ll have managed to create one successfully, and so I’ll post it up when I do.

In the meantime, here’s a pretty skyline (reminds me to get the dust off my sensor):

The finishing line

Taken at the end of Rocca’s show, which was amazing by the way. See my
links for Rocca’s site. She asked me to take photos for her, but
having lugged my camera bag all the way to Glasgow, I turned up with
about 15 empty batteries. Dufus.

I will learn.

New eyes in old places

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

All part of seeing with new eyes. I’ve lived here for more than three years, and its only just occurred to me that the light that filters down from the roof light and squeezes past the front door is rather beautiful.

Taken on a camera phone.

WOW! What an incredible gig. This lady is like no other, and the gig
was a theatrical splendour. Anthony of ‘Anthony and the Johnsons’ made
a guest appearance and did a beautiful duet with bjork. What a voice!

Daffodils on Princes Street

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I was out with my camera yesterday trying to catch some of the daylight, and was cheered (on such a miserable day) to see whole beds full to the brim with all sorts of coloured flowers. I take my hat off to the groundsman of Princes Street Gardens. It’s a shame that the gates were locked so that I couldn’t get inside.
