040:365 The Snowman

Today i was bringing back my wife from college when i passed this fine fellow, so I went back later and snapped a few different shots of him.

I think he's a really jolly fellow so liked it a lot.

Not sure as yet what my plan is for tomorrow but i've got a few days this week planned out already and i'm trying to do around a weeks plan so that i'm much more prepared.

033:365 Winter at Last

It's happened at last, we've finally managed to get some winter weather... and in Scotland too.

We did have a wee flutter of snow a month or so back but it was gone as quick as it arrived and there was no chance of getting any images done at the time.

Today was different as we joined pretty much the rest of the UK in getting blasted with snow. I decided today to talk a wee walk out to the local park and have a wander about in the snow.

This image was my own favourite from the set, although probably not to every ones taste I really like the portrait format and lots of empty sky detail, it has, to me anyway, a real feeling of emptiness and solitude, which is how i feel over the winter months anyway.

You can see a couple more from this on my Flickr account.

I was also out with the Mamiya so hopefully get some of them up later in the week also.

004:365 Seaweed and Ice

Todays offering comes from South Queensferry, Scott, Drew and I had a wee trip out to South Queensferry. The original plan was to try to get some nice landscape type pics but with rubbish grey sky's and not a lot of anything else we generally all concentrated on the smaller things around us.

This little iced over bit of water in a rock formation took my eye and i decided to focus on the seaweed and I'm pretty pleased with how it has come out.
