365 Day17

I went to the Edinburgh crop today in it's new home.
It's a church hall, and this meant being able to go into the empty church
and taking these photos.
I chose the photo of the day just because I like the way the light falls on the wall next to the window.



Here are some other photos of the windows:





And lastly, there is a cemetry next to the church where I took this little cherub!

365 Day 16

Another day of taking photos as I was stationary at traffic lights. The photo of the day is a zoom view, so the Scottish Poetry Library building on the left is not well focused. It is not the best photo-but I think the juxtaposition of the modern and tradional architecture, interesting.



Further down the road, at the next set of lights, I just aimed the camera up blindly and got these three views of the Poetry Library.

Then at another set of lights I took these 3 photos of the same house. these dormer windows in the roof are typically Scottish traditional style.

365 Day 14

I was feeling very lazy tonight-
sitting by the fire all warm and cosy with a glass of wine,
so the fire is my photo of the day:

365 DAY 13

This is my photo of the day-the moon this morning as I left for work.
It was taken very quickly. I think I need to use a tripod to get a crisp image:

365 Day12

Today's photo is of the primary school next to my workbase. The photo is taken from the car park. It is a sad comment on our society that our schools look more like prisons than places where children go to learn.

365 Day11

What a horrible wet and windy day we've had today! As a result I have not been out and about, so my photos today are indoor shots. Evidence of Emily, I'd call them. I'm not sure how I managed to get a daughter like Emily. She takes such pride in her room, everything is always tidy and she has little collections of her favourite things. I chose the photo of the day because I liked the colour against the white walls, and also because I like the perspective:



Here are some more of her favourite things:





AND finally-what I learned about today was White Balance. I has it set on auto, but was getting an awful yellow colour cast to the photos. So here's what a difference it makes just by adjusting the white balance to tungsten. These photos are unedited, I know the focus is not good, but it's the difference in colour that I'm interested in. the top photo is auto white balance, the bottom is the tungsten setting.
