365 Day 8

Today I drove to work with my point 'n shoot camera around my neck. Everytime I sat at a red light I took a quick snap through the window. My photo of the day is my favourite-a crane in the city centre-I did try this on in black and white-but I really like the brown tones and the lights!


Here are some more. Remember to click on the image if you want to see it closer.

365 DAY 7

Just another quick point and shoot today. This is the view up my street when I left for work this morning. I just stopped the car and stuck the camera out the window. There are large hills at the top of the street, but they were hidden by the mist today.



Here is another shot- I like the black and white version best-it's more atmospheric, don't you think?

365 Day 6

I was playing with my shutter speed today, trying to freeze the action by using a faster shutter speed. I chose the kitchen sink because I'm following Flylady.com guide to being more organised around the house, and keeping a shiny sink is the first commandment!



These sleek surfaces definitely look better in black and white, although I do like the blue reflection in one of the tap drips.

365 Day 5

I'm back at work today so I just managed a few point and shoots today. I am so lucky to live in Edinburgh-it's such a beautiful city, and on my work today the sun was rising over Holyrood Palace. Now there is not really anywhere legal to park so I just pulled over and took these quick shots. I'm sure if I had more time to walk and compose the shot it would be better, but it does give a brief view of my great route to work- past Arthur's Seat (the big hill in the background) and past the palace. And all this virtually smack bang in the middle of the city!

This is the traffic on my way home-
and the bus parked across the road from our house!
