We’ve not killed it – this is good!
Day 48 – MacArthur Glen
I despise shopping, but when you absolutely have to do it, MacArthur Glen at opening time on a Sunday isn’t the worst experience.
The roof is amazing and this photo doesn’t actually do it justice … These metal sculptures suspended from the top of the dome slowly rotate and go round in a circle, and sprays of water go everywhere. It’s exceedingly hypnotic and standing gawping at that for a while is a good way to brace yourself for the hell that is shopping!
cameraphone, and edited in Picnik
Day 47 – I couldn’t be a veggie
f/1.4, 1/50, ISO 100, 50mm
First barbecue of the year …
Day 46 – Edinburgh Park
Okay, this is a bit weird I know. It reminds me of something by Escher, in a way… Taken by the lochans in Edinburgh Park, and tinkered all to hell with in Picnik.
cameraphone
Day 45 – The Braids Road, Edinburgh
More gothicky horrory type stuff. Having this pillar dead upright in the centre of the shot just looked staid and boring, so tilting it and giving it the holga-ish treatment in Picnik improved things somewhat. It jumps out at you more now!
Day 44 – Biobull, 1925
Salmaibh Dhaibhidh – Psalms of David
This is the only bible I’d ever have in the house: my grandfather’s. Inside the front cover he’s written his name and “Lional Schoolhouse, 1925″. Funny, he wrote these details, even in his name, in English. A definite sign of the times.
It’s a battered old thing this, and the Gaelic is very odd. Full of technical religious words I don’t understand. Full of “a Thighearna”s (oh lord) which I do understand – and remember, hmmm.
I don’t understand why so many apparently random words are italicised either. This I will have to find out, I think …
Taken with the cameraphone and sepia’d/vignetted in Picnik.
Day 43 – Edinburgh Park
A wee walk from the car park at Edinburgh Park train station to the office on your exclusion day does no harm. And even though it was so bright I could hardly see the screen of my phone, I was quite pleased with the way this came out.
A wee spot of lomo’ing in Picnik and you have a shot with a strong perspective and muted colours.
Day 42 – Grain
A desperation shot which didn’t turn out too horrendously I guess. I like the grain of the wood and desaturating and sharpening it seemed to work okay. That prime f1/4 50mm lens is great for stuff like this – so glad I got it.
