I'm Getting Taller

Konica Hexar, XP2.


1. The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh


2. A rare view of Edinburgh. Note the failed attempt at an acropolis on Calton Hill. Edinburgh was once called The Athens Of The North.

Taller and Better. Very nice shots, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I don't know about better, but thanks nonetheless, Raza!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Anyone notice the (non) deliberate mistake?

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a great viewpoint, I like the contrast between the modern foreground and historic buildings in the distance.

Mistake? No, must have been a distortion in the space-time continum between the shots.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The mistake: I have recently started scanning my negatives. It looks like I put the second negative in the wrong way round. Notice the Acropolis on the hill. In the second one it is on the wrong side of the tower next to it...And also the cars are on the wrong side of the road.

Stunning Shots Shared!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Roshni. I'm not sure where you are sharing the image, but you are welcome to.

Tut, tut! You're clearly new to scanning. You've put the second negative in the wrong way round. Notice the Acropolis on the hill. In the second one it is on the wrong side of the tower next to it...And also the cars are on the wrong side of the road.



Actually, no,...I didn't notice. I was probably too busy admiring the compositional and lighting skills of the photographer.

Twa bonnie foties, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. Appreciated.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Something's gone haywire even the exclamation 'bout becoming taller. I saw the cars though, being on the right side for once, in Scotland.

 

[Pete Askew]

And I was wondering why you didn't take a shot from both sides as well!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha. Next time...
