Keep Out

[Rob MacKillop]

...plus two others. Behind Princes Street, Edinburgh. DP2Q.

1. Keep Clear




2. Funnel




3. Air Pipe

Magnificent back alley photography. Like them all and the tonal quality especially in the first is faultless on my screen. Reminds me of a wet print I have on the wall in that regard.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. I like the first also, not so sure about the other two. I'd been using the DP Zero and DP3 cameras more often, but am beginning to really appreciate the qualities of the DP2.

 

[Pete Askew]

The first two work very well from me, Rob and I like the toning and tones. I like the composition and content of the last but it loses a touch on sharpness for me. My eye keeps being drawn to that light brickwork.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, mine too. Oh well. There's a lot more going on in the world to worry about at the moment!

 

[Douglas McMann]

Very Movie Noir Rob...and that last one....just what exactly is the CCTV camera looking at...?????...

 

[Pete Askew]

It's probably trying to work out what Rob is photographing!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's actually a lamp...

 

[Douglas McMann]

It's actually a lamp...

So it is...doh....!

Have to admit though, it does look like a CCTV unit, pointed at the window....????

 

[Brian Moore]

The first one for me as well, although the others do have a quirky appeal of their own.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian.

 

[John Allen]

Really like that first one. The last one intrigues me, mainly because of the large air duct near the center of the image. It looks like it may have inspired some science fiction monster.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, John. There is indeed a slight element of humour in the last.

 

[Martin Carlin]

What no steam coming out the pipes? Nice interesting set Rob

 

[Pete Askew]

That's a good point, Martin. Maybe they don't blow steam out, maybe they suck things in! The angle of that pipe, the light aimed just below the inlet. It's all coming together now. Rob, you were lucky to get out of there alive!!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Martin. Plenty of people steaming around that area. It's one hell of a place at night.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha, Pete. What a thought. How lucky I am!

 

[Martin Carlin]

I bet Rob dank dark alleys around Edinburgh you would be taken your life in your own hands.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

As in most big cities...
