New Shots from XA3 and XP2

[Rob MacKillop]

As related elsewhere, the place I get my films developed, Boots The Chemist, gave me a CD of scans of someone else's photos. Luckily they also gave me prints of my own photos, the smallest size, 6x4. I scanned some of the better ones, and here they are. In and around Princes Street, Edinburgh. I scanned the photos, not the negs, which are all the correct ones. I must invest in a neg scanner. But in the meantime:

Now there's a fine set Rob. Love the alley and the layered sign. And the sun behind the lamp in the last is very nice. Love the gleam off the seat.

And what is even better is the thought that there are a bunch of hippies somewhere saying, "Wow that stuff was good. I don't remember any of this! Who the hell's that monk!".

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, that thought has crossed my mind. They'll be too stoned to not think they did them themselves. Very funny.

Glad you noticed the sun in the lamp - a wee joke

The layered sign came out better than I had hoped, as did the staircase with lights (3rd from end).

Rob, the second last one is a cracker, I really like the contrasts...and that sign...I'm intrigued...what does it actually say...???

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Dougie. It's a fantastic sign. Must be meeting rooms for progressive types, Reformers, Women's groups...and the Forestry Institute. It's on George IV Bridge.

BTW, I did get my CD of scans from Boots after all.

 

[Brian Moore]

All fine shots, Rob,...but the first one of the close appeals particularly to me. Excellent stuff. (What's that Monkish chap selling? Mead?)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. Yes, mead, exactly. Some other brews too. It was a farmers market. I bought you one, but we used it in a stew as you didn't turn up

Well let me know next time!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh yeah! That might work

 

[Pete Askew]

That's funny, I used up a bottle of beer that I'd set aside for Brian in a stew the other day well. Some people, eh?!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

He doesn't try hard enough...

 

[Brian Moore]

Hod oan, hod oan,...I can read the two o' yeez like book! I don't think there was any stew involved!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, there was a guy called Stu, I remember that much

 

[Brian Moore]

Well, there was a guy called Stu, I remember that much

Hmmm,....!? Could be my wee brother; he's a massive consumer of beer.

 

[Pete Askew]

He's been round your's too then Rob!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

The second one I thought, may have been Dan the man, but too ordained I think. The first, the fourth and the fifth are my favourites apart from Dan.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ivar, Dan is a saint in waiting...
