Photography Field Trip

Another field trip to Glasgow today - part of my 'Digital Photography' class at Paisley Uni.

Started not too bad, after we finally got a parking ticket machine that worked - third we tried and a long walk too.

Started to rain not long after we headed towards the Necropolis, but that wasn't to last too long - only till it snowed.

Coming down frozen we had a hot drink to warm us in the Museum of Religion - mine was a lovely hot chocolate.

Then to Glasgow Cathedral where tripods are not allowed - strange as I was happily given permission the last time I visited.

Parking tickets almost expired, we dispersed to the warmth of our cars to head to our respective homes.

We will meet on Wednesday when we will share the results of our individual efforts.

Dull and Wet Day in Greenock

Again, not the best of weather today, but made the most of it going to Lyle Hill.

Cold and dull, but what the hey.

"Night is Day" - Script Reading in Glasgow

After a round of Golf it was a quick dinner and headed up to Glasgow.

It as a script read through with all the 'talent' and the crew were involved in recording the events of the evening.

It all went very well and we appear to have an excellent cast and crew for this production.

Inverclyde Phoenix American Football Team

"Silly Wee Films"  attended training to procuce a promotional video, so I went along to take some stills.

Despite the cold it was a very entertaining hour, and the lads were great company and assisted greatly to help make the venture a success.

My Birthday Today

A nice meal at Morgans in Greenock is planned for tonight.

Meanwhile the weather is too good to miss and the aircraft carrier Ark Royal is in the Clyde.

Popped in to James Watt Dock on my way home.

Necropolis Cemetery - Glasgow

A visit to the Necropolis in Glasgow has been on my wish list for a good long while.

Planned about a week ahead, and awoke to a foggy winter morning.

Proceeded up to Glasgow and picked up my son Fraser en-route. Arrived to a bright and sunny morning and selection of images are below.

Still, it's better than the rain.

Still well short of feeling recovered, but fresh air beckoned so down to Greenock.

Grabbed a few shots - of course - as the sun was shining brightly.
