Roland: May 2015

Is this Roland? Looking out the door at the end of the Wiston Retreat.

We had been dealing with some very sad family things and were taking time to walk in some very beautiful woods in the Chilterns to find space. It was a time when the power of Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) was really important.

Joscelyn: May 2015

In this case maybe colour.

Mia

I’m amazed I pulled this image out of the series I took of Mia as she was larking about – like usual. Always making people smile. The shot kind of captures her a bit but I hope to photograph her again.

Messing with Daffodils

I spent some time this weekend moving across to Adobe Lightroom from Apple Aperture. I can’t say it has been a pleasant experience but Lightroom does look like it will be much better than the long neglected Aperture. Aperture was the only Mac specific software I ran. After ten years I could now walk away…

First rule of design is not to centre anything

… but I kind of like this.

Railway People

At the end of last year I saw an exhibition of photographs at Edinburgh Central library. They were prints from negatives that had been found in a biscuit tin by historian Archie Foley and put on display with the help of photographer Peter Ross. The photographs had been taken in the 1950s and 1960s by…

Edinburgh Allotmenteers 2015

Edinburgh Allotmenteers is my new project for 2015. It builds on my 100 Portraits project that lead to the Botanics People exhibition. The goal of the project is to produce a folio of around a dozen A3 prints and possibly a small exhibition. To get to this point I will aim to interact with and…

First Portrait Exhibition

On Monday I noticed that the exhibition cabinets in the foyer of the main science building were empty with a note saying the library (who coordinate the exhibitions) were taking a break before the next exhibit. I thought this was a opportunity for me to exhibit my Botanics People photos so I showed Leonie the…

Old Hyam History

Rearranging my bookshelf I came across the folder with my negatives in and it fell open at a film my father took in the late 1950’s. That’s my olderest brother, mother and paternal grand parents outside what the Russian’s would call a datcha on the Sharpness Canal. The dog in front is Boley. But who…

Basil Spence: University of Edinburgh Library

I walk past the Basil Spence building almost every day and have been trying to photograph it for my brother who has an interest in Spence’s building. It is actually really hard to get good lighting and view of this building. This is at dawn (about 8:30 am at this time of year) and some…

Approaching the river Tay

I think this might work better as a print. It needs examination up close.

Faith to get point shoes

I’m doing some clearing out and came across this shot of Faith from a few years ago which triggered more gratitude for eyes and light and children. She’s much bigger now and asking for her first point shoes.

Botanics People

Many of the subjects in my 100 Portraits Project were at my place of work (The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) so I have continued making portraits of people around the gardens and have worked these into a separate “Botanics People” project. I’ve been producing prints on Epson Archival Matt paper with my R3000 printer and…

Jane at the end of the Wester Caputh Retreat

I grabbed this shot of Jane (who is one of my fellow Interbeing aspirants) at the end of our Wester Caputh retreat last week. This is with the FX27mm ‘pancake’ lens.

My Fujinon FX 56mm f1.2 R is Waiting!

I turn 50 years at the end of February (if I haven’t mentioned it enough times). As a gift to my self I’m buying some Fujifilm X gear I couldn’t justify under other circumstances. Fujifilm have a cash back scheme that ends on the 11th January so I have bought the gear now and it…

Feather Frost

I can’t remember whether I have seen it before or not but I was walking in the woods by the river Tay when I came across Feather Frost A.K.A Frost Flowers. It looked like people had left little lumps of tissue all over the woodland floor. Wonderful to see. Fascinating but not really beautiful. Difficult…

Brother Steve

My brother Steve came up to visit in October and we had a nice time together for which I’m really grateful. He’d lost weight and was generally feeling and acting a lot more bouncy than over the last few years. We are both looking scarily like our father though.

Something to be grateful for first thing in the morning.

Gratitude Blog?

It is a navel gazing time of year but this year I feel more reflective than usual. I’ll be 50 in less that two months so perhaps it is my perpetual mid life crisis. This is a selfie with my Fujifilm X-M1 and nifty XF27mm f2.8 pancake lens @ f2.8 using the paper ball lampshade…

Winter weather is here at last

I’ve not enjoyed rustling through the frosty leaves for a shot so much in ages. It is so much easier being digital than using Fuji Velvia at 50 ISO and 35mm.

Morton Hall Golf Club Boxing Day 2014

With the cloud rolling in across the cold ground the Pentlands were obscured and the golf course became and island.

Back to Flickr?

I just discovered that I can embed Flickr images by just cutting and pasting the URL like this: Unfortunately it looks like it only does a small photo! I wonder if that can be changed? Edit: 2014-11-9 – My Flickr images aren’t working! Maybe the image above appears for you maybe it doesn’t. Either way…
