Many thanks, couldn’t quite get what I wanted from the viaduct and never really said solid enough ….. I know I’m weird lol. loved the peloton shot with exception of the damned TV bike.
Was defo leaning towards the Iron ring for solid, loved the textures too. Many thanks for the
Thanks Simon
Appreciate the comment.There's some lovely pictures here Scott. Very well done you
Once again I’m grounded, I was up to date and now I bloody well have covid (again) so may well be lagging behind again……. I should be used to it by now really lol.

Solid - nicely captured (1st shot - not sure which one you chose as came from main thread for 'P'). I really like the head on peloton shot. Feel so sorry for them in the rain,.... and those little narrow tyres!
I quite like the symmetry of the last 'half' shot.
Well done on catching up!

Another catch up week for me
Post, saw this abandoned post on the way to take a water shot that I couldn’t really get but the post, I think worked out well. First time trying to process in iPad only so if it’s OTT let me know. Was gutted I couldn’t get an angle to a nearby thistle as I can imagine a more Scottish pic then lol
Water, first idea didn’t like and considering we live on an island and I have a beach nearby my work I couldn’t think of a pic ……. Such a dullard at times, ended up on this that I kinda liked.
Handle, I was so gonna do fork handle/four candles but everyone was thinking it I’m sure, came across this abandoned handle that looks a tad out of use on a walk.
good to be back

Wow, how far back am I..........
Week 30 Dusty
I was struggled with this, and frankly still am but did a quick pic to move things on a tad, I had hoped to have a dusty pic of a MTB trail or similar but EVERY time I was shooting I had no dust only soaked mud ( if I even made it after a few technical issues with cars etc..... long and boring story)
Into the shed we go and, was trying to have my defused light and shoot some dust. I could do one but not both. Not the greatest but it gets me back moving again.
Next up will be food

And on we go, internal this week for week 32.
Another walk around Edinburgh and on this day I went into a church I have walked past on hundred of occasions, not a religious person at all so churches aren't my bag but on this day we went on in, may have something to do with meeting Scott Kelby & Eric Kuna on our World Photo walk lol. I had decided to shoot light and dark mainly on this day but this church was a stunner. Its hand held and slightly askew but what a place. I will be back no doubt.

Great images Scott showing a range of techniques, processing and subject matters. My favourites are the post and the handle (with the food as a close runner up )

Far too kind as always, Irony is I think all my pics and processing is all too similar, too safe and saturated. My composition is a bit meh too…….. I would say stuck in a rut but that makes it sound I was once good haha. All the gear and no idea is more realistic at the momentGreat images Scott showing a range of techniques, processing and subject matters.

Right, I’m a week behind (as always) so I may finally catch up ………. place your bets folks haha

Too funny, I get that way myself sometimes, to critical of my own work with hints of "imposter syndrome" creeping in...Far too kind as always, Irony is I think all my pics and processing is all too similar, too safe and saturated.

I just have to give myself a good shake and realize that I only do this because it makes me happy...

Week 34 Small
Was genuinely gonna do a self portrait as Im wee, would have done a macro shot but don't have a macro lens so decided to keep it photography themed.
Small aperture shot on a large aperture...... I just can't help myself.
Went with 2nd pic as was frankly a bit more interesting even with the dust all over the lens .........
Anyhoo onto the next we go

Small: great idea Scott and well executed
Snapper's: I like the clean, dark and light, geometric shapes at the top of the image, I might have cropped out the textured wall below it though.

Week 36 Scape
OMG how far back am I and I must confess I am going to use some pics that were taken out of order, wife been in hospital ( again ) for a few weeks so photography not been too high on the agenda, with exception of my standard cycling photography I do .
Anyhoo apologies out the way onto the pics we go
So I did try a city scape of 3 and hated the lot of them and to be fair still not sold on the sea scape I took but Im so far behind now and this was a pic I deliberately went away to take.
Few more in coming

Week 37 Looking Up
Again I tried a few and to be fair this may have worked better for looking down but I really liked this and I did have to look up to see it
Taken in Glasgow and took a few frames to get the person almost being pinched. Coolest mural I have seen for some time

Week 38 Electrical
Always wanted to take this shot and tried to do it 4 times and every time the weather was atrocious, including this shot. I had went up to take the shot, the heavens opened and I took a few shots, headed back to the car and the weather cleared enough for me to run back and take this. I did take a landscape of it but there was rain on the lens that ruined it so this is the one.
I maybe did a bit of work on the sky but mostly it did look like this

Week 39 Depict a song
OK went back and forward with this one, first thoughts were Im close by the forth road bridge so was gonna be "bridge over troubled water", again time and weather played against me so was gonna shoehorn a queen song " we are the champions" od "bicycle race" from the cycling stuff I do but I remembered I run across this on the same day I took another pic so Im throwing in " dancing in the streets" by Bowie and Jagger

Week 40 Looking Down
I will admit I took this the same day as the above pic but as I have said previously photography has not really been top on the priority list.
So I'm only 1 week behind now, I was planning on getting rustic done today but ......... well gonna leave that here.
Many thanks one and all

Dancing in the Street - well timed shot. Have you seen the footage of Bowie and Jagger doing that where someone has overdubbed the sound - worth a look Just had to find it...
View: https://youtu.be/BHkhIjG0DKc
I think Looking Up might also be Looking Down ha ha but they are both worth sharing. I really like the plan view.
Electrical - great idea for the shot and that sky does look amazing. It wasn't a swap was it?
Well done on catching up and sticking with it.

A great series of shots Scott.
Love the seascape too bad the top of the pole was cut off.
A really fun street shot for your looking up submission, perfectly timed
The electrical shot is fantastic with such great colours in the sky and the foliage
Dancing in the Streets by Bowie and Jagger was a favourite back in the day.
Really like your POV for the looking down shot

Just for a change...... its catch up time lol and still not done this weeks ........ no big surprise for me now a days. Watch out for a few massive shoe horns upcoming
Week 41 Rustic
Genuinely couldn't find anything that screamed rustic, now considering I have been all over Scotland recently its hard to believe this so it ended up being my standard home made bread. Not even my best bread either so ho hum.

Week 42 Precision
Nothing says precision more than a circuit board..... didn't have one but had an old broke Hard drive lying around, bare flash across the board and well done and dusted. Its times like these I fancy having a macro lens but I would do it no justice.

Week 43 Vehicle ( aka shoehorn)
Well what do you expect from a cycling photographer ........ a bicycle, its a vehicle and this is the dev team Im shooting for.
Nice and easy pan shot, not too low shutter 125th IIRC just to get some motion on this particular vehicle on his way to a win.

Week 44 Autumnal
Left it too late to get a proper shot of Autumn leaves, I was shooting cycling events and ensuring I was shooting the lovely autumn colours in the background and I did consider shoehorning another cycling shot in but instead I meandered down to a local park on a day off and took a few shots of leaves clinging on for dear life lol
went for the first shot in, loved the pop of the leaves in this one, although there is a few distracting elements in it.

Week 45 Snappers Choice and Technique Leading lines (aka Shoehorn 2)
Yup another cycling shot, again a few distracting elements in this one too but loved the light in the background. Had you seen the weather on the day to get this shot was a minor miracle, you couldn't see 2 feet in front of you at the early races and about 20 mins after this it reverted back to fog too.
