Traditionally, this is the time of year that people reflect on the year just passed and the year ahead. Who am I to break with tradition? I thought I’d start with looking forward first, reflecting [...]

It’s been quite a while since my last 365 project update, I’m not left with as much of a huge task as I might have been as I’ve managed to miss quite a few days……oh well, onwards and upwards!!

We went out for a walk in Stonehaven today, its lovely walking round the harbor. I’ve always wanted to get a nice photo of an old, heavy chain, think the B&W makes it look that bit better!

The photo for today is ne of my first attempts at a new technique for me: Panning. Photographing a moving object sharply while the background comes out kinda blurry to give the look of motion. I took about 20 photos, and I reckon this is the closest to what I was aiming for, not bad [...]

Yet another beautiful day in Aberdeen!
I’d been hoping that the fog would be a bit thicker at the beach, a shot of the tanker looming out of the mist would have been cool, but this one is still quite cool!

As we were leaving to head back up to Aberdeen after a lovely weekend in Penicuik, I noticed some hangliders coming off the top of Hillend. Something I’ve always wanted to try. This photo will have to suffice for now!
