The sun brought loads of folk out into the centre of town today. I went into the Grassmarket to take some pictures in preparation for the April photography workshop I’m running. I ended up on the castle esplanade, and then spotted the daffodils. There’s a really spectacular display on the slopes below Edinburgh castle, overlooking Princes Street Gardens.

The trees were looking a bit spooky as the mist cleared this afternoon.

I was out early yesterday, enjoying a bit of early morning sun on the promenade at Portobello. There’s a whole lot of water on the beach at low tide at the moment, which is making for some good opportunities for reflection photos. Here’s the Espy, at the bottom of Bath Street.
The farmer was burning some stubble just up the hill from here as we passed through Fife. It gave a lovely hazy effect behind these trees. I couldn’t resist stopping to take a few pictures.

There was a completely clear sky last night, and a superb sunset in Newtyle, Perthshire. These trees made a lovely silhouette as the sun went down.

This was a lucky moment! I was returning home from taking photos of a dental surgery in Leith. I’d decided to head along the Water of Leith, and I noticed this amazing sky just as I approached the bridge at the end of Saunders Street in Stockbridge.

Since I started taking photos, I’ve been fascinated by shapes, textures, and detail, and often take close up photos of buildings, nature and textiles etc. I’ve been building up a portfolio of pictures, many of which would work well as background images for promotional materials, website pages etc. Here’s a selection of backgrounds I have available to buy on my website.

We were away with the choir this weekend, staying at an amazing place in the borders called Kilquhanity Children’s Village. It’s one of those superb old houses with sprawling grounds which have all manner of interesting nooks and crannies to investigate. It’s beautifully peaceful and very welcoming place to stay.
While we were there I ran a short photography workshop, (partly as preparation for my Edinburgh workshops which will start on 28th April – thanks to everyone who took part!). On one of the brief assignments, one of the participants found a shed full of an array of bits and pieces.

This is a dramatic landmark – a spot in the Scottish borders used by cattle rustlers in the past to hide the cattle.
