Winter Walk - Greenock Cut

A short walk up the Greenock Cut this afternoon with Maya to give her a stretch.

Nice light at this time of year - that's when the rain stops of course.

Pleased that I decided to take the camera with me on the walk.

Autumn is Here

Headed to Greenock and a walk along 'The Cut' aqueduct with Maya.

Started off dry with a fair forecast but soon turned to drizzle.

Pleasant nevertheless and just about had the place to ourselves.

Never much time to get photos with Maya but had the wee Sigma compact and managed a few along the way.

New Camera for Today

My new 'Point and Shoot' camera arrived this morning - a Sigma DP2 Merrill.

Bought primarily for a light and easy camera to take on walks with my dog Maya.

It has a rather unique reputation having high image quality but lots of downsides like very poor battery life etc.

Anyway, here are a few images from my first efforts today and you can judge for yourselves.

All were taken up at 'The Cut' in Greenock so no need to caprion them.

Walking the Dog (Maya)

They say the best camera is the one you have with you - and that can't be argued with for sure.

It is a little frustrating however when you get such lovely light and only the wee 'point and shoot' camera with you on your walk, knowing the main camera would have opened other opportunities and offered much better quality.

But then, Maya would not have enjoyed her walk so much as I'd have been spending longer on my shots.

Life is not perfect, but today's light was pretty close.

Reflections of My Walk

A nice late afternoon walk for Maya, so took the wee 'P & S' camera to save me lugging too much gear around.

Seeing the light later I wished I had a my DSLR and tripod, but that's the way it goes some times.

Still the exercise and walk were good for both myself and the pup.

Walking Around Greenock

As my car was in for it's annual MOT I took along my wee Olympus camera and went walkabout in Greenock till it was ready for collection.

When it was ready I headed home for lunch then back down to walk Maya up the 'Cut'.

Great weather and down to my T-shirt for the walk.

Here are a selection of some of my pics from the day.
