Soft-toned Autumn in Edinburgh

[Rob MacKillop]

Princes Street Gardens, with the Nikon FE, Nikkor 50mm 1.8, and a roll of Portra 400. It was a beautiful sunny and surprisingly warm day for the time of year: today (as I write) 17th October. Nice simple shots, untampered-with in Elements. .

I miss the seasons Rob - love fall feel to this set, and the tones from the Portra

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Velvia is too much for Edinburgh, but Portra hits the colour spot, Chris. Scots Presbyterians would say we don't deserve Velvia. Dour Portra is closer to the Scottish psyche. @Brian Moore will understand.

A fine set of images Rob, the gentle shades of Autumn, very good. Love the architecture of St Cuthbert's Kirk, that spire looks likes a witch's hat!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha, I think you are right, Dave. Cheers.

 

[Prashant Gandhi]

Beautiful nature pictures. I miss those moments when I was enjoyed!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thank you, Prashant. Nature is very important to our wellbeing.

 

[Pete Askew]

Beautifully soft indeed and the tones and colours (and that softness) match the season perfectly.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Pete. My favourite time of year...when everything is falling asleep...

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Lovely set and tones Rob. Velvia may put a little too much cheer into those images whch may ruin the psyche!
I still remeber my Nikon FE fondly, especially when I had the 24mm f2.8 on it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Milan. I wouldn't mind having a 24mm lens...

 

[Brian Moore]

Wow that Nikkor 50/1.8 sure makes nice bubbles!

Fine set, Rob!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not the lens, Brian. That's the famous Edinburgh bubble trees in the background...

Very nice. And that camera, lens and film are a great choice materials.

Thanks, Milan. I wouldn't mind having a 24mm lens...

The 24mm length is very useful.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Russ. Appreciated.

Am no dour ya cheeky bugger! (But I do understand. )

 

[Brian Moore]

That is quite some radical bokeh bubbles in that first one Rob. Fine set.

Thanks - again - Brian. Appreciated. This is a year-old thread.
