Back To Work

So I’ve returned to what passes for normal life and obviously there’s work to go to and things to do.

I mean how cool are these viewpoint signs in Tenerife? Medium format cameras make excellent silhouettes.

It’s also back to college and back to taking shots for class. Probably this time I’ll be carrying my camera on my commute and trying for some urban architecture and skylines. If I survive the commute since it’s up hill to the office through the city centre. Oddly enough it is also time to be looking at applying to college if I can get funding for HND photography. The hardest part is putting a portfolio together for it, I’m going to have to go digging through the archives to find a range of shots to put in it.

On the blog front, I have acquired a couple of odd photography accessories recently, partly thanks to the prize for the Capture Christmas competition. So I will probably do a couple of posts to talk about them. I’m not sponsored, so these are not in anyway paid for or supported by the manufacturer at this point, except where I earn money and pay it to companies for their products like everyone else. These are just my experiences from using them in my hobby/work. If later on I get any freebies I’ll be the first to let you know. But if it doesn’t work then I’m not going to be positive, that I can make a promise of. As my mother would point out just now – what would the point of lying be?

Verdant Works, Dundee

So I made one last stop before leaving Dundee a week and a bit ago. I’ve been slow in writing this because I wanted to do it justice as it was the the shortest visit but one of the best. So the Verdant Works was once one of the many jute mills in Dundee. And I have a special place in my heart as I’m from a community when the cotton mill was the centre of the village. It’s now a visitor attraction where people can learn about the processes and history. Again photography is encouraged but some areas can be quite dark so bump the ISO up. The staff are amazing too.
