Superb set Rob. I have inner Lighthouse one with steps. I like the fuzziness/ blur takes it to a better place than may have been a straight steady shot. It is a excellent image indeed.
There are a lot of North Queensferrys about where ever they have replaced the old road and ferry with a new crossing of a bridge. Odd places and the one I know best, the Saltash to Plymouth crossing across the international border of the Tamer is pretty identical in make up and the presence i get from the image. I know the Saltash side the pub is a very insular abode and had to park outside to get access to a photo. The locals all new I was not a local .

I suppose there are other Queensferrys, but I never thought about it. There were a few rough types smoking outside a pub, but they ignored me, thankfully. I've always found this Queensferry to be a nice, relaxed place. I'd like to live there, but I have to live near the centre of Edinburgh to get students.
Glad you like the blurry steps shot! I like it too.

Yes the last image has improved over night, superb image. Some subjects need to be steered into a direction other than can be clearly,visually seen. You are good at mastering this perfect perceived imperfection and is the reason why when I first saw your images here I thought, yes.

Haha. I doubt it is much use to the ships in the river, so I think Julian has it.

I have no idea what compelled you to shoot number four but I'm glad you did. Fine image! Indeed, the entire set consists of fine images!

Nice Rob, and that last one....I can only echo whats gone before...
...did you contemplate deleting it at all...??? If so, good idea to take a second look and retain it.

Never entered my head for a second, Dougie. Just as I imagined and hoped it would be.

Just back from three days in Dunkeld with the girls. Three days of bliss, walking forests, hills, rivers. Photos to follow.

Lovely series, lovely B&W tone Rob. Did the B&W output from the DP directly?

Yes, but with a circular polariser on the lens.

A nice set and the second image stands out I think.
