Closed Door
I have been at this blog for about eight months now and bar a day here of there missed while I have been travelling I have pretty much managed a picture a day. Rather reluctantly, but definitely, I have decided that I need to draw this to an end for now. It has been very […]

Sunday Lunch
Walking into a village in Catalonia around lunch time in summer sometimes seems like re-enacting a Clint Eastwood film: the streets are completely empty … The attractive Catalonian village of Monells has a thirteenth century square which these days is set out for that attractive southern European habit of having family Sunday lunches. Not being […]

Summer’s End
The end of summer is in sight – at least so far as the weather is concerned, it seem s more like autumn than summer. The flowers seem to think so as well. These Shasta Daisies are reminders of how ephemeral all life is. I find these fading flowers rather moving. Both these shots were […]

Half Tide
The Forth Bridges are normally photographed from the larger town of South Queensferry; however, its smaller and less well-known equivalent on the north shore of the Firth offers some interesting and different perspectives – particularly of the Victorian rail bridge, where you can get a real sense of the massive iron structure. North Queensferry, like […]

Lion Couchant
We haven’t been in St Andrews Square Gardens in Edinburgh for some time. The gardens in the centre of the square are open to the public (not the case for most of my life). This striking statue of a lion is a new addition. I love the way that the animal emerges from the stone. […]

Broom Pod
Brooms are legumes, which is to say that they are related to beans and similar plants. This is easy to see when the seed pods have formed. I was experimenting with a new B&W setting on my GX200 when I took this macro on the shores of Loch Leven. Since this was a jpeg there […]

Bumble Bee
This bee was seen clinging on to the Ragged Robin in breezy conditions. However, as it just clung there and didn’t move at all I wonder if it had died while feeding on the plant and remained locked in place by rigor mortis. Cropped square from a file converted in RPP, the principal adjustments were […]

Harvest Time
Another lucky shot from the train to Glasgow, this was taken in the early morning (hence the colours). Even in Scotland the harvest has started. Cropped to 16:9 to remove the inevitable reflection from the window (but better compositionally as well), this has had its colours balanced (auto curves separate), exposure and contrast slightly increased, […]

Old Door
I passed this old wooden door in Perth this morning. The peeling paint and distressed look was what appealed to me. A little highlight recovery was needed. However, the principal editing was to emphasise the distressed nature of the paint. Definition to maximum and additional Definition along the peeling paint and cracks brought this detail […]

Through the train window
It is very frustrating to travel into Glasgow daily past splendid countryside and often with marvellous light and not be in a position to take pictures easily. Too often they are spoiled by blur from the train’s vibrations or the internal reflections from the windows. This was a rare example where things worked out – […]
