Society Meeting

[Rob MacKillop]

Quarterly meeting of the Scottish Lute and Early Guitar Society, Edinburgh, Saturday 13th February, 2016...today!

Canon Powershot G10, and mad stuff with Nik filters and some shaking

[All by me except the duo shot, which was by Stuart - the guy scratching his head in the last shot]​

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Two more...

 

[Martin Carlin]

Nice collection of your meeting I like 5,6,7,8 best of all I must admit I like to have some detail in images. especially like 6 as he flicks through his sheet music as the person with the lute is in conversation with someone else just out of frame.
A very nice set

 

[Pete Askew]

Super set, Rob and nice to see you back in wobbly mode again! Of those, the first of the second set is my favourite. The stand-out, however, for me is image number 3 - you could read so many stories into that. A super photo.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, lads. I'm a big fan of Bacon, both the tasty variety and the artist. The main wobbly ones are with him in mind. I've used this technique before, and the first one turned out exactly as I hope it would, which is rare when wobbling free

Sorry, Martin, I like the wobble! Or as we say north of the border, The Shoogle!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Do you see Bruce Willis in the last one?

 

[Pete Askew]

I do! I'd have been worried that some desperate terrorists would have crashed the meeting!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's more a case of Try Hard than Die Hard, I'm afraid...

 

[Martin Carlin]

I will have to experiment with the shoogle sounds like it should be a dance. My ex mrs is from North of the border around the kyles of Bute Ive never been able to spell the place she's from It something like Tinabrock but thats not how its spelt lol.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I like the set, but more so the one where the guy is scratching his head. It kind of says; "what are we going to do now." To me anyway!

 

[Brian Moore]

I like the motion blur in the first two, Rob. (That dude is rockin' the lute!)

I agree with Pete about that 3rd one; it's thought PRO-VIKING.

I see Bruce Willis, too!

I think the penultimate image is very much an artistic portrait.

Great set overall, Rob, although I am a little disappointed to see you shooting pixels again.

 

[Pete Askew]

I never thought I'd live to see the day when you admitted to be being pro-Viking, Brian.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. I wondered about your proviking stance as well. He's getting to you!

 

[Brian Moore]

I never thought I'd live to see the day when you admitted to be being pro-Viking, Brian.

Why,...I can't for the life of me figure out what you're referring to Pete.

 

[Pete Askew]

Really?!
