Places

Attempt 1

Loch Lomond Panorama

Oooooh, new post – first in ages!

Having been very busy looking for work for 15 months and then very busy in a new job (yay) for the last 8 months, everything photo took a back seat.

Until this week’s holiday!! A well deserved (IMHO) break at the wonderful Auchenheglish Lodges on Loch Lomond provided an ideal opportunity to have a tinker with some panoramas.

Timelapse over Granton Harbour (pt2)

Since trying timelpase a while ago (see part 1), I’ve been looking for an opportunity to do a bigger, better, longer and more interesting version and things were all set for this weekend.

Sometimes however, things don’t quite go as planned….

Iceland 99

I was lucky enough to revisit Iceland in 1995 but unfortunately was only there for a couple of days and I didn’t get beyond Reykjavík (although I did get on a sightseeing flight that was awesome!)

Here are a handful of pics.

Iceland ‘95 (Part 2) – The Golden Circle Tour

Yay!! Part 2!

The Golden Circle Tour takes in, among other things, Gullfoss, Geysir and Þingvellir National Park. It’s a very long tour, taking a whole day but one I would recommend to anyone. If you go to Iceland – find time to see the Golden Circle.

Iceland ‘95 (Part 3) – The Mýrdalsjökull Glacier Tour

Three of four!!

The Mýrdalsjökull Glacier Tour is another long one at around 9 hours but well worth it. Unfortunately there is a lack of pictures in this section but the weather was not the best and very few of the photographs turned out.
The tour takes you along the south coast stopping at various sites eventually reaching Mýrdalsjökull and having a go on snowmobiles on the top!

Iceland ‘95 (Part 4) – Around Reykjavík

Oh no, it’s the last one from ’95 :( A couple of days were spent just strolling round Reykjavík, taking in the sights. To describe it all would take forever so these are just pics and I’m only going to say that it is a wonderful city, very clean, with lots of things to see and do, many fine restaurants and very friendly inhabitants. GO THERE!

Timelapse over Granton Harbour (pt1)

Having been meaning to have a go at time lapse with my digital SLR for a while, I decided to give it a go and what an amazingly straightforward exercise it was.
