I decided to take my 50mm f/1.8 and Nikon D810 for a spin, see what I could get, and I could get quite a lot! I do love the shallow depth of field and bokeh from it. Here’s some straight from camera highlights from around Rosemount I’ve forgotten how much fun it is to take …
I had a delightful weekend in Thurso with the Bon Accord Camera Club, exploring various scenic locations. The trip included visits to Bettyhill, Portskerra Harbour, Melvich Beach, and several sites on Day 2 despite challenging weather. I enjoyed local markets, took numerous photos, and savoured my journey home through beautiful landscapes.
Its once again that time of year, Spectra has returned to Aberdeen! I always love the lights festival and endeavour to go at least twice if I can, just to experience it all properly. This year I was even invited to an LNER launch event on the Thursday evening through the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce, …
As has been widely reported, we had a little bit of snow in Aberdeen recently, as I’m writing this there’s a little on the rooftops from a more recent dusting we had, but it is already starting to disappear. While I couldn’t go far I did manage to get off work early enough to wander …
The fabulous Winter Wonder Wander in Duthie Park is an event held annually here in Aberdeen, I managed to secure some tickets to it last year and am finally getting around to looking through some of the pictures I took. The theme this year was focused around fantasy and films, with Men in Black, and …
I’m a bit late to the party, but a few weeks ago Aberdeen once again hosted a leg of the Tall Ships Race, something I didn’t know existed before they started advertising. The last time Aberdeen hosted was in 1997, and everyone was very excited to have it come back, with 4 days of boats …
This last weekend Victoria Park once again hosted it’s annual market, featuring lots of stalls from around the town and shire, and again I went for a wee gander and a wander. Some stalls that were there, but I also took the opportunity to just get some general photos of people enjoying the park, and …
When the heavens align and the Sun shines in Aberdeenshire I like to try walk up hills, the most recent of which was a trip to Bennachie in mid January. Normally I’d use the back of Bennachie car park and route but as it’s closed for Forestry I had to actually go up the steep …
A few weeks ago Aberdeen hosted it’s famous SPECTRA light festival, I managed to go on two seperate days to see it. The walk there took me past the train station and the abandoned BT building both of which are always great street photography targets The first day I went was the opening Thursday going …
Beginnings There are many Gantt Chart Libraries out there, some good, some bad, many expensive. I came across https://github.com/MaTeMaTuK/gantt-task-react in several threads, and it was close to what I needed, but not quite perfect. I saw the potential, especially in how it rendered the Chart using SVGs, and decided I could add the necessary enhancements …
Happy Hogmanay! Happy New Year! Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr! Welcome to 2025, hope everyone has recovered from their hangovers by now. I’m in Germany for the New Year and went on the customary New Years Day Walk, and after 4 days of fog and no visibility the sun finally managed to come through and …
A belated happy winter solstice, the days are finally getting longer here in Aberdeen, and with a sunrise of 8:46 it’s high time in my opinion. I went to go see the sunrise, and enjoy a coffee down by the beach. Not many pictures as I just spent the time enjoying the view over the …
Duthie Park Winter Gardens, a true spectacle year round, but when it’s pouring with rain and freezing cold the warmth offered by the green houses makes the plants that bit more spectacular Going back to my roots and doing more street style stuff has been fun, especially when combined with discovering the really rather excellent …
Having just come back from the beach (see my previous post) I decided to go through my SD card and found a few pictures of when I went to see my sister in November and we went to the Christmas Market. This is gonna be a short post as I honestly didn’t take many pictures …
One of the things I love the most about living in the North East is the spectacular sunrises we get, overlooking the sea the sun rises over Aberdeen over Greyhope Bay where I went this morning with some friends who were up visiting. I may not be amazing at Portraits but every so often I …
