2011 A-Z Challenge #B

So we are onto the next letter 'B'. I was going to do BOKEH-and set up some shots, but I didn't have time. So yesterday I met up with some other Edinburgh photographers to do the BURNS walk-a walk looking at places in Edinburgh associated with Robbie Burns, Scotland's most famous poet. (Auld Lang Syne, for one).It is Burn's night on the 25th January. So these photos are from that walk:
1, The Writer's Museum

 2. Beer barrels in Ladystairs Close

 3. The Burns Window in St Giles Cathedral

 4. Deacon Brodie-Burns was thought to have lived where the Deacon Brodie Tavern now stands. This photo also has some nice Bokeh!

Project 52- #1

In addition to my A-Z 2011 challenge I have joined Project 52 at Lighting Essentials. I am hoping this project will help me to develop my lighting skills. For the first assignment we had to write a mission statement, and take a photo from around our home to illustrate it.

 Here is mine:

2011 A New Challenge

Well, I finished the 52 walks in 2010 challenge-although my blogging did get behind!
So this year I have started a new challenge A-Z 2011. This is a fortnightly challenge-a letter every two weeks. So for A I decided on Angles. I 'm looking around when I'm out and about for things with interesting angles, as well as maybe taking photos from unusual angles.
Here are some:

 

Week #52 St Mary's Loch, Edinburgh

Week #51 Christmas Market Edinburgh

Week #50 German Market Edinburgh

Week #49 Holyrood, Edinburgh
