038:365 Cowal Penisula

Todays image comes, once again, from sunny Greenock via Mobile Broadband.

Bruce, Scott and I had a great days shooting, getting the 8:20 ferry from Gourock to Dunoon, shooting around the Cowal Penisula, before getting another ferry to Bute for more photographic opportunities. The Last Leg of the journey was from Bute to Wemyss Bay.

During the 100 odd mile journey we stopped numerous times to fire off some shots.

This particular shot features the top end of the Kyle's of Bute, i've also shot this same scene using FP4 and Provia on the 5x4. I will post more pictures on my main blog over the days to come along with some scans of the film shots.

018:365 The Clouds Roll In

An absolutely awful day for me today, i went out with Scott to do some shooting today, firstly to the airport for some plane shots then over the forth bridges.

The light on them was awesome and i was really really happy with what i had seen on the camera LCD.

Got home and soemthign went wrong, i'm still not 100% what but it looks increasingly like issues with my USB2 card reader which meant when trying to rescue images and formating it got worse.

After some recovery software and another card reader i found some of the images but there were still issues and none of them would open at all.

so after kicking it up and down the street i took some of the roling in clouds at around 4:30 pm and have darkened them down a little in PS.

016:365 Corston

Today Scott and I took a wee trip up to Corston Farm and shot some of the landscape and farm up there.

We then had a wee trip down to the Almond and shot some around the bridge and the A899 flyover.

Then we went over to Starbucks to meet Simon for a coffee and a blether.

013:365 Sunset over Livingston

I got to go out for a little while earlier around 3:30 to get this with my new bits and bobs of kit.

I spent most of the rest of the day in the house waiting on the delivery man - always takes ages when you're waiting don't they.

They delivered my new Redsnapper Tripod and 3-way head, my new Sigma 28-70 f2.8 lens and my new Battery Grip for the camera.

I had a whole lot of drama with the battery grip caused by my old tripod and the grip is now firmly stuck in place and will NOT EVER be able to come off, but hey it's all good.

Picture taken from the new tripod (with grip attached to the camera) and using the new lens.

009:365 Yup Another Moon Shot

Yup...it's another Moon shot... but I really like this one today.

Lynn bought me a Tamron 55-200mm lens yesterday which arrived today so i decided to have a bit of a redo of yesterdays feeble attempt at a moon.

This time i waited til it was darker and shot at 200mm from the tripod.

The white streaks are cloud movement as it was shot at f5.6 4.5 sec ISO100 then desaturated in PS.

008:365 Moon Walking

Today I really wasn't sure what to do for the picture, i think i need to start taking my camera with me to places just in case anything crops up that would be cool.

Anyway at college today i editted a different image from yesterday to post as i wasn't happy with the image, mainly due to monitor issues and dodgy editting i think, although much happoer with the one there now.

Coming home from college wondering what to do i seen the moon beginning to rise up over the trees and although shot at 50mm and cropped i really do like this shot.
