I should add that, on the other side the Festival is in full swing...and every other person is taking a photo...had to escape!

[Pete Askew]

Wonderful Rob (and the bigger one does have quite some impact doesn't it?). Wonderful detail and a great overall scene.

 

[Brian Moore]

Excellent Rob!

(I gather you don't prefer the Ektar. Don't get me wrong, I think your choice of BW and tone is spot on for this fotie, given the subject matter being roon the back o' the tenements, but although I believe you've shot with Ektar on a number of occasions I don't think I've ever seen a color image from it by you.)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Take a seat, Brian. Colour shots in the pipeline.

 

[Aldous Lau]

As pete said wonderful details Rob

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Aldous.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Excellent shot Rob...love the detail and interest.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Yes as Glenn says excellent. I understand getting away behind the scenes, Cornwall is the most awful place throughout August, roll on September.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Glenn. Thanks, Julian. I'm glad we have the festival, but it can be maddening. Takes an extra hour to get anywhere, either driving or walking.

 

[Beth Carter]

love the old architecture with the new(er) painted artwork, great combination. i see what looks like a broken window or two, are these buildings still in use?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, very much so. Some of the finest shops on Princes Street, the busiest, most popular street in Edinburgh, facing the famous castle. As we say here, "Aa fur coat and nae knickers!".

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Wow, missed this one Rob.

One word.... Epicness!
This is very nice, I REALLY like it.
