059:265 Steaming Again

Today was another press job for UNS, this time a trip to Edinburgh Waverley for the arrival of Tornado, the first steam locomotive to be built in Scotland for over 50 years.

This was Tornado's first trip to Scotland, arriving at Edinburgh from York,

Lots of other shots but i liked this one personally.

The place was manic - i really couldn't be a train spotter though.

Decided to take a wander up to Deer Park tonight to try to get the cars going round the roundabout.

I was pretty sure that the sculpture on the roundabout was lit up at night but it turns out not to be!

A lot of the images were ruined by some cars parking at the junction next to where I was.

I'm pretty happy with this image, lots of nice colours and light patterns in here.

Today was a nightmare for trying to get my image to update here. My first plan was to nip out to Binny Craig/North Mains area to get some sunset type images.

I've got a few but i was a bit rushed and the sunset was bland and minging and really didn't work. I then tried some images of the trees against the dull background with the idea that i may just convert them to B&W but again they didn't work.

It had been a little snowy so i thought that i would wait and see how deep the snow would get, but again that was up the spout as it was more rain than snow.

So i took to hunting the house for some stuff to do and ended up with some of Kyle's 1:18 cars and my motorbikes.

More from this on my main blog here.

005:365 A Policital Decision

Today's photo was an easy choice and not a huge amount of thinking needed as i was asked to do some pictures for a press agency of Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon MSP.

All to do with the removal of car parking charges in Livingston.
