Miasmatastic! So you made it out for the ghostly fingers got to you. Or did you?!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha. It's a pretty cool shot, I will admit. We went for a walk at about 8am, a lovely sunny morning. Passing the graveyard, which dates back to the 16th century, I noticed this steam coming out of the church wall. They must have a central-heating system installed, either that of Jesus was having his morning shower. But it only lasted ten seconds or so, enough time for me to leap into action and take a dozen shots, most of which are rubbish. This one worked. A bit of fun.

 

[Pete Askew]

Or the holy ghost nipping out for a bacon sarnie?!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Did you just call me a pig?!

Foties are just like fitba Rob. You might only score one out of every 12 shots you take, but if you never shoot you never score.

You've scored with this one!

(I'd like to have been there to see that leaping into action bit. Is there a highlight reel?)

 

[Pete Askew]

I have heard that the folks of Edinburgh were amazed by the astounding apparition: they'd never seen Rob move so fast!

Leaping into action in my world means bending your knees a little, sometimes one knee alone, but in times of extreme urgency - as was the case here - both. If either of you old men want lessons, I'll make a DVD for £50 each. Then you'll see how a REAL photographer works!

 

[Pete Askew]

Ah, but we have the advantage over you, Rob. Being so much shorter in stature, the bending of said knees is required less often! It's certainly going to save us 50 quid!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Curses!

I'm a smout; no need to waste £50 watching you genuflect.

No this yin.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

[Brian Moore]

No yet!

Mihbey, mihbey no!

 

[Dave Farnes]

Certainly creepy, the steam makes it. Reminicent of the old school horror movies.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The best kind, Dave. No gore, just threat...
