Berwick and Edinburgh.

Been a bit busy managed a few random shots before heading to Ireland via Bristol

New lens arrived today, wide angle zoom, 14-35mm couldn’t resist giving it a go. Took a few more snaps for a small photography project.

Got bored tidying the shed so went up floors castle this afternoon. Take a macro lens but wind was gusty so not much luck.

Couple of shots from today. Revisited a railway bridge previously snapped and went up to the firth of fourth.

My son knows more about the trains than I do unless it’s the 70s or 80s! A bit of a mixed bag on the ECML The longer LNER Azumas that are fast to London or the cross country type services which I think this is one of, which stop more frequently usually 4/5 coaches. Was on a two coach train the other day on the old Waverly route. Not a good experience. lol

Didn't bother with the eclipse, decided to continue with a series of shots of the ECML

How annoying. I had a look on line to see if I could get one. No chance, all sold out. I consoled myself with the fact it’s only a partial eclipse and we’ll be bombarded with shots on. Social media anyhow.

A few from today.

A brief visit to a sunflower maze today.

I tend to use suggested presets in Lightroom to process my images most of which tend to be over processed. Spent a bit of time on the train shot hopefully being a bit more restrained. I’ve also posted the original shot as a comparison. I underexposed the original shot to avoid burning out the sky, then pulling back the detail and shadows when processing. Hope this gives an insight to those interested. I couldn’t resist “tidying up the clouds too. 🤣

We didn’t get along to where they normally hang out. The footbridge along the back of the harbour has been removed for repair.

A few from this evening.

In Kent for a week. Went along to Dungeness.

A few from Floors Castle gardens today.
