That's an wexcellent shot, Rob. Full of interest. The castle is always magnificent, regardless how far away. What's the tall house in the middle just beyond the playing field?

 

[Peter McCullough]

Superb tone & contrast. That sky is beautiful!


Was that shot on digital or film Rob..?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Brian - thanks. The house belongs to the parks department, and is stocked with lawn mowers and the like. Not its original use, I imagine! This is Inverleith Park - full of dugs and weans. Any swans you've seen me shoot have been from there. It's my local park, and you pass through it to reach the botanical gardens. We are very lucky to have so much greenery close by.

Peter - thanks. Digital. Fuji X-E1, with the 18-55mm lens. Wonderful camera.

 

[Pete Askew]

Superb Rob. Wonderful light and contrast and then those clouds!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The light was perfect. That changed!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

All it needs is lashings of ginger beer!

That's a fabulous shot Rob - I like the vignetting with the trees and shadows, they frame the view nicely - and the people and bikes tell a great story.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I was thinking of Enid Blyton, and her characters having grown up.

My favourite bit is the police cone...

 

[Pete Askew]

"The Mystery of the Missing Bicycle"!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks like it, doesn't it. But close scrutiny reveals it is flat on the ground, behind the one on the left...[stalkeyes]

 

[Pete Askew]

Ok then, "The Mystery of the Murdered Bicycle".

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Nice pic, as Chris pointed out a bit of nice framing.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. Took ages to get the trees in place...
