The lower angle of the sun lent a certain starkness to the light and shadows of the streets of Edinburgh, and I like what it did to the architecture

Beach Furniture
I liked the look of what appeared to be a roughly made chair by the water’s edge; in the stark morning light it looked like a marker or monument of some kind.

Outside the Gallery
As part of our recent trip to Scotland we spent a day in Glasgow, and the city looked more interesting than I expected! We had a couple of hours at an art gallery, whose exterior I found quite interesting.

The Soul of Scotland
I took a picture of this gentleman outside of Edinburgh Castle. He is not wearing a kilt or playing bagpipes, but to me his expression seems to show the essence of the Scottish character.

On My Feet Again!
A break from my Scotland images š I was finally well enough after my back injury a couple of weeks ago to go out for a shoot, so it was off to the Beaches.

Overcoming a Grey Day
Rollei Retro 80s is an amazing film! When we visited Armadale castle it was a very grey, soggy day, but the inherent contrastiness and bite of the Rollei Retro 80s film turned the light into something special. All images taken with Voigtlander R body, 15mm/4.5 Superwide Heliar lens.
A Pleasant Jumble
After the glass and steel grid that makes up so much of Toronto, the town of Lerwick in the Scottish Shetland Islands is such a delightful change! All these images were taken with my Rolleiflex E3 camera, on some of my final rolls of Kodak Plus-X film
On the Jacobite Train
This image was taken on the Jacobite train in Scotland. Even with the tremendous depth of field of the 15mm lens I knew not everything would be perfectly in focus but it wasn’t far off!

An Edinburgh Album
Our first day in Edinburgh was windy and rainy, and the weather changed every five minutes during the second day but that wasn’t going to stop us! These images were created with my Voigtlander R 35mm rangefinder, with the Super Wide Heliar 15mm/4.5 mounted, loaded with Kentmere 400 film.
Calton Hill
On our first day in Edinburgh (rather rainy and windy most of the time) one of the places we went was Calton Hill Park: an interesting location containing an offbeat collection of structures. This Greek-inspired structure caught my eye.
