I generally don’t have much luck with photographing bees, butterflies and the like. However, I seem to have been lucky when I noticed a hoverfly hanging around the honeysuckle in our gardden.  It had just come into flower and it was a case of being at the right place at the right time with a […]


Cycling Home

17Jun10

It was a beautiful summer evening on the Broomielaw next to the Clyde in Glasgow.  Lots of people were sunbathing on the new pedestrianised area: a good evening to be cycling home: A GX200 image, this was converted from raw in RPP and imported as a jpeg to Aperture, where all subsequent adjustments were carried […]


Twisted Bridge

09Jun10

I hadn’t even spotted this bridge between the Royal Opera House and its neighbouring building across the street until I saw some one standing back and shooting up.  I tried that, but I thought a better sense of the unusual architecture was gained by shooting pretty much straight up.  This twisted bridge connects the Royal […]


He doesn’t look too happy to be there either, possibly because he was originally advertising the fact the tobacconist shop stocked Scottish snuff while successfully avoiding the laws prohibiting shopkeepers from having overhead signs.  This chap is gracing a traditional tobacconist’s shop in Covent Garden and is distinctly not amused by all the high jinks […]


… on my head, or at least they were when I took this photograph.  I have been trying to capture images of rain this year, which is a lot more difficult than it sounds.  Low light on some occasions led to blur and it has been a cold but dry spring; so, the opportunities have been […]


Woebegone Poppy

06Jun10

The weather has performed its customary volte face now that summer has arrived.  Leaden skies preceded persistent rain, which, to be fair, we could do with.  However, the rain has put its customary damper on joie de vivre.  Even the flowers seem affected. A GX200 shot, given a very straight development in RPP before being […]


I have been looking for a different local viewpoint of our village.  It is too easy to take a picture from the Lomond Hills to the south, but really wanted to find a viewpoint to allow a view of the village with the hills behind.  Out for a cycle in between showers this afternoon we […]


Low water

31May10

I spent a beautiful Bank Holiday along the banks of the River Earn between Crieff and Comrie in Perthshire.  Unusually, it was warm and sunny and I saw a good deal of wildlife ranging from deer in the woods to the first ducklings.  In common with almost all Scottish rivers the Earn is a spate […]


Evening chives

27May10

The chives in our garden are starting to develop their pretty flowers and I snapped this shot as they were back lit by the evening sun: Taken with the GF1, this shot was developed in RPP and imported into Aperture in the normal way.  It required some highlight recovery on the backlit petals and a […]


I spotted these three trees, all in different colours, in the garden at Falkland Palace.  Not quite red, white and blue – but it will keep the Italians happy: This was shot into the light, which gave some translucence to the colour of the leaves, but caused other problems.  It was a E-520 shot and […]
