On 15 November 2008 my girlfriend fiancée and I went to New York City for 7 days in what turned out to be our most second most amazing holiday ever. I took the photographs (of which there were thousands) and she kept the diary. We managed to cram a ridiculous amount into the short time we had there but what a fantastic time it was.

So yesterday we had the day off work and we decided to go to Anstruther (admittedly, we fancied trying the award winning fish & chips at the Anstruther Fish Bar). If you’re from the UK you’ll probably have experienced first hand the heavy snowfall that we’ve been having and Edinburgh was no exception. I took my camera gear with me not knowing what the landscape in the area was but expecting to get a few ‘white’ shots nonetheless. I forgot, however, that Anstruther is right on the coast and so escaped most of the snowfall…
If you’re a regular visitor of dpreview.com you’ll probably know that they’ve got a new section on their site devoted to challenges. It seems that there’s challenge sites all over the place and dpreview.com have finally caught up. I thought I’d get involved and was very pleasantly surprised with the result…
Let me start by wishing everyone a very happy 2009! It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me – as I’m sure it has been for most of you – but I managed to finish my (short) holiday on a high by taking a quick outing to Glencoe. It wasn’t really a photo trip (although I did take most of my gear with me) and I wasn’t expecting much from the few shots I took as the weather was fairly unexciting and overcast. So I was pleasantly surprised when I got home and reviewed my images on my computer screen…
What’s the point in having a blog if you’re not allowed to use it to show off a little every now and again? OK, so it’s not as if I’ve won some incredibly prestigious photography competition (what? some of you disagree??) but it is nice when one of your images gets voted a “noteworthy” by the visitors of Photofriday. The theme for this one was “Dusk” for those of you who are still reading…
Answer: Patience. Oh, and gloves too! So today I intended to go out for a quick wander around Hollyrood Park and the Royal Mile (which are both near where I live in Edinburgh) this afternoon and then grab a sandwich. Naturally I took my camera with me, but I wasn’t planning on staying out for long (I was hungry!). I forgot quite how early the sun goes down at this time of year and soon found myself standing on North Bridge looking at the beginning of a beautiful sunset…
