A couple of sunset pictures. The top one from my living room window in Edinburgh and the other from my parents house over looking the Pentland Hills in Juniper Green.

Today I have mostly been taking picture of the beautiful Cherry blossoms in the sunshine in the gardens on Princes Street. I was desperate to catch a sunny day before all the blossoms disappeared and caught a break today. My favourite picture that I've taken recently is the top one with the railings and the passerby.

Enjoyed a day off in the sunshine today and had a wander round the town - up Calton Hill and around the Botanic Gardens. The colours really stan out in the sun. Really hope the squirrel remembers where to find his dinner come winter time!

 

 

Spent a lovely afternoon wandering around the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh admiring the signs that say Spring has sprung - the snowdrops and the squirrels are out and looking beautiful. 

I recently bough t a speedlight for the top of my camera and theresults are fantastic! I'm hoping to do some product photography soon and these are just some of the pratice shots using the seepdlight - hopefully they'll get a bit better but I'm liking the initial results and enjoying practicing.

Yesterday I was out and about playing with a new fish-eye lense - the light wasn't great so I didn't get much of great quality but I like this one of the Castle and fountain in Princes Street Gardens. I like the 3D effect of a fish eye lense and look forward to playing with it on a sunny day!!

We went for a walk along the beach at Cramond today and managed to blow away some cobwebs and enjoy the fresh air while at the same time having some fun trying out a new macro lense.
