Sunny day out in Edinburgh

[kernowbhoy]

Had a wander around Edinburgh in the sunshine with my Lumix TS100, a handy wee camera to have in your pocket !

You've certainly captured Edinburgh - makes one wonder where its nickname of "Auld Reekie" went to.

The last one stands out for me as being the most intrinsically interesting.

The first six images are nice enough, but get me wondering what the shots would have looked like with better lighting (i.e. the soft and diffuse light of Golden Hour). The lighting is too hard to work well.

The last image, on the other hand, is very effective. You might want to see what you get by cropping off most if not all of the railing along the bottom of the frame.

Nice series.

I like the first shot. I don't know where it is or what it is but I've heard your royal family is renovating one of their palaces and I assumed this is it and the cranes are forming a crown on top of it.

My only suggestion is that number 5 looks better after a slight clockwise rotation. I like the compositions and the light helps to bring out the shape and detail in the structures so they work well for me.

Cheers.

It was the site of the King James Centre, a concrete monstrosity from the late seventies recently demolished.

The pure 'toggers do not complain, but enjoy the nice weather. They also head out with their cameras at Golden Hour to get the shots when the light is great.

By the time Golden hour came around I was in the airport !

That is what/who this forum is for. If we just want to post snapshots we can use social media. This is a forum for photographers.

That said, I thought these were quite a bit above being snapshots.

Been there done that, unfortunately.

I was at a photography exhibition at a local gallery and had a chance to chat with a photographer who is one of the top in the field of photographing mountains and glaciers. The highlight of the show was a print that was about 10ft long and 3 ft high (a 6 or 7 shot pano) showing the mountains of Patagonia, taken in early 2017. It was taken at morning Golden Hour.

I asked him how long it took him to get the shot. Answer - Three weeks of getting up at 4:00AM.... He was in Patagonia for a total of five weeks.
