I love larger interior spaces, like these spaces in the art gallery we visited in Glasgow. all images taken with Voigtlander Bessa R Rangefinder, 15mm/4,5 Superwide Heliar lens.
Light and Shadow
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

Shores of Shetland
Back to the digital today, and another image where I created a faux-infrared effect in post, with Lightroom and Nik Efex.
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.

Whatever Works Wednesday: By the Ship
The ship Janice and I were on was not particularly large, but it did make for some dramatic lines up close!
In keeping with “Whatever Works Wednesday, no tech info š
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
