Dean Village, Edinburgh

[Rob MacKillop]

From Dean Bridge, just up the road. I walk over the bridge almost every time I walk into town. I never feel I've taken a decent shot of the view. Maybe a wide-angle lens would do it more justice. Anyway...

Needs some smoke rising from all the chimneys...

I think that is an excellent shot Rob and quite wide enough with a very good flow to the composition. And I like the treatment very much.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. It's certainly the best I've taken of that view. Light changes everything, all the time.

 

[Beth Carter]

it's one of those classic shots where you can't tell what time period it was taken in, bit of old and new all at once.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Beth.

This is more than decent Rob; it is superb. It has a beautiful timeless feel to it and I find my eye is invited into the picture by the positioning of the church spire. I could go on .... and I will. It is perfectly processed as well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Merci!

Very nice Rob but you can't fool me, you took that 100 years ago. I know you did so just own up.

 

[Dave Green]

Niiiiice

Funny to get all these comments now. I put this up over a year ago. Welcome, though!

 

[Paul Lange]

So why did you wait 98 1/2 years to post it?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha

Superb rob, like it a lot. Like the lower houses and the white triangles shapes and bend of the street dwellings of into the distant tower and chimneys. Superb.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. It's a very nice little village within the centre of Edinburgh. No more than five minutes walk from Princes Street. Rather expensive!

Rob;

That's SUBLIME. Love the effect -- style -- gritty approach. So beautiful. That capture should be proudly displayed in an Art Gallery..!!

Respect Sir.

Taken on the X100 ?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Peter. Yes, the old X100 without the S. Very nice camera.

 

[Peter McCullough]

What's the difference between the standard X100 and the 'S' version ?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

About £400!

I remember it. I think I said it reminded me of a photo taken in the 1800s, or something like that. Anyway, liked it then, like it now!
