I am experimenting with a demo of silver efex pro 2 and this is one of the pictures I dismissed from the other day ... kind of like it now.



Thanks for looking.

Another sunny weekend has found me back on the John Muir Way, this time at the Longniddry Bents in East Lothian.



Didn't really feel inspired here with my e-p2 and 17mm oly lens, but enjoyed the day.

Thanks for looking.

Following the John Muir Way at Aberlady ...

This was once a forest of tall and majestic trees. Now the trees lie dead, piled high, row upon row, slaughtered for human consumption.



Captured with my e-p2 and 17mm lens.

Thanks for looking.

No idea what interested the cat so much ... he seemed to be staring intently at something, but nothing my eyes could see.

Captured with my LX5 ...



My E-P2 and 17mm lens were left redundant in my bag ... dopey me had forgotten to load the sdhc card before leaving the house! Had hoped to try some b/w shots to see how well it faired with me following pdh's comments the other day.

Thanks for looking.

Haven't been taking photos for a little while, letting stress at work get the better of me ... but today I had some much needed time out photographing butterflies with my E-P2 and LX5. Didn't get any great pictures but found it therapeutic to be lost in my own wee world behind the camera trying to catch the butterflies.

From the E-P2 and pan 45mm macro lens:



and the LX5:

From Edinburgh Zoo ...



Taken with my e-p2 and 14-150 oly lens, converted to b/w pp.

I went for a walk in the snow at Muiriston Woods in Livingston yesterday with my Panasonic LX5. I really liked this picture, which is straight out of the camera. I haven't posted a picture in my blog for a while so I thought I would share.



My pens and my LX5 will be coming out to play next week as AT LAST I have some very much needed time off work, so hopefully will have something better to post then.

In the meantime, thanks for lookiing. Comments...

Well, behind the cyberman there is a picture of Hopetoun House originally taken with my e-pl1 and 14-42mm oly kit lens using the grainy art filter during the summer. The final image was taken yesterday with my e-p2 and panny 20mm lens, converted to black and white and enlarged grainy filter added PP. Not sure it works (needs a little pp resus I think) but the best of yesterday's pics (didn't taken many as head was stuck in books).

Thanks for looking. Comments...

Went to the Scottish Mining Museum at Newtongrange today and chose two pictures for PAD.

The first is one of the life-size model displays within the museum. I liked the way the e-p2 and panny 20mm lens captured it, almost like a painting.



The second picture is one of the minature model displays ...



it just made me smile!

Thanks for looking. Comments and criticisms most welcome.

Cheers,...
