All Fuji XS1, Nik Stuff, Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh​

I'm flattered Rob, and what a super set. I think they work really well and I like the parallel between the striations in rocks in the first two with the band of moss in the third. And the mineral in-fill in the first with the leaves in the last. Lovely stuff.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Striations, eh? New word for the day

I just had the XS1 with me, but wouldn't have got closer with either the Hexar or the XE1. Could have done with a tripod as well. But it has given me ideas, and I'll return, maybe even with the macro set up on the RB67.

I was amazed at the detail in the rocks, and kept thinking of your macro shots, Pete.

All good and I like the first 2 very much for there abstract-like quality; there is almost a picture in the picture.

Oh yeah, the striations are just perfect, whatever that means.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Paul. I like the abstract potential of the rocks too. Will return to them at some point.

VERY windy here today - big refuse bins getting blown around the street. I'll be heading out later, hopefully get some movement shots.

Very nice set Rob, could see these hung on a white wall, would look super effective, my fave is the last.

If it's anything less than a wheelie bin in mid-air I'll be disappointed!

Beautiful spring-like day here in Potsdam, but Ina is unwell.

 

[Paul Lange]

Did you cook dinner last night?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Best wishes to Ina, Pete. Probably not a good day for a portrait...

Nick - many thanks. No white walls in our house, but a nice art gallery would be perfect

 

[Shane Johns]

Rob - all are nice but that first one is WOW! I could happily have that as a canvas on a wall. I don't know what it is about it, maybe the symmetry and processing but I really love it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Brilliant, Shane. Glad you like it!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Nothing much to ad, they said it all. Cheers.
