Where's The Togger?

[Rob MacKillop]

There were dozens of photographers down at the bridges tonight. This guy was going for a very acute angle.

Later I got him again in a better shot. There are three bridges here: the rail, the road, and the latest stage of a new road bridge.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Bump...

 

[Hamish Gill]

I do like that third shot Rob. There is something very satifying about the position of that chap isn't there?!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes. He's a natural.

 

[Keith Hollister]

I like the last one, Rob. Are there lights on this thing? - might be a cool night/blue hour shot if it is lit.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Sometimes they light it up. To be honest, it is impossible not to get a Tourist Board-type of shot at those times.

 

[Pete Askew]

Well caught Rob - you could start a series! I too like the final shot the most though. The figure really adds to the sense of scale.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, that last shot ain't bad...Cheers, Pete.

 

[Paul Lange]

You got that gut spot on in the third shot Rob. I wonder if there is a sweet irony in that you got a better photo than he did.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha, possibly. I don't know why he opted for that angle. I'll go there some day and find out why he chose it.

 

[Brian Moore]

Fine looking bridge, that. Where is it?

Beautiful shot that last one, Rob. The long stretch from the top left corner of the frame to the first cantilever pier gives the fotie a sense of grandeur, which of course is an adjective this particular bridge accepts rather well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. It's on the East coast of Scotland. You should venture out here sometime.

 

[Beth Carter]

i found waldo, does that count? excellent comps. and b&w tones.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No. As it's in the UK, he is called Wally...

Now east coast of Scotland is quite long Rob, ( not as long as the west coast of Norway though ), but long all the same. Brian it's just outside of Edinburg coming from the north going into the city. A fine place with a little village underneath the bridge. Very well captured Rob.
