Photo Marathon

Participated in a Photo Marathon today - first time I've tried this.

Very challenging and takes you out of your comfort zone. Made me focus a lot more and think about how best to interpret and record the various topics.

It was also more about the creativity.

I would love to do this again as today felt more of a learning curve than in delivering my best.

Today saw the last of the 'Joint Warrior' departures from Glasgow.

The light and weather wasn't at it's best - but have seen it worse.

Kelburn Park - Parklee - Port Glasgow

Popped in to Kelburn Park on my home - intention was to get a few photos of the 'Question Mark' sculptures placed in the Clyde recently as a tribute to the recently deceased sculpture George Wyllie.

As the access road has been blocked to vehicle access I was left with more of a walk than anticipated, so I just took the time to get these images and will return another day to achieve my original goal.

Autumn Colour - Greenock Cemetery

The Greenock cemetery at South Street is a most beautiful place to spend some time meandering through the myriad of trees and paths.

Come autumn on a sunny day the beauty is there to behold.

It is also home to rabbits, foxes, and grey squirrels.

Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust - Open Day

 
 Today was the annual 'Open Day' at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust.

It seemed busier than last year and a good selection of vintage buses on display.

There were also vintage lorries and other classic vehicles to be seen.

Not forgetting a hurl on the old buses as we were transported from George Square to the garage and back.

Lunderston Bay - Twilight

Hoping for a good bright sunset tonight I headed down to Lunderston Bay near Gourock.

The clouds didn't clear so it all looked a it mundane.

However, with my new "Lee Big Stopper" filter to try out I fired off a few test images by way of experimentation.

It'll take a bit of getting used too, but not too unhappy with the results in the way of something a bit different.

Time will tell - watch this space.

Langbank at Sunset

While taking these images I wasn't too enthralled and my expectations were duly set.

Images belatedly processed and I have to say I'm very pleased with the results.
