Glasgow Street Scene

I took this shot from the top of a multi story car park near Cineworld in Glasgow.
Shrek and friends kept staring at me as i took the shot lol, they can be seen on the corner of the Cineworld building. This is an HDR photograph, i took 3 exposures +/- 2 stops, i generated a HDR image using Potomatix and edited it further using Picasa.

Happy And Sad

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, ISO 200, F2.8, Macro setting, handheld.

Another photograph i took while visiting the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. I named this photograph "Happy And Sad" as the flower on the left is brighter, the one of the left is shaded and a small petal on the flower looks like a tear. I took this shot handheld but i would recommend using a tripod.

Lady In Red

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, ISO 200, F2.8, macro setting.

I took this photograph while visiting the Glasgow Botanic Gardens, an excellent place to visit to get some macro shots of flowers. This flower reminded me of the famous Marilyn Munroe photograph when she stood on an air vent and her dress blew up around her. I named this photograph "Lady In Red" as it looked to me like a woman's red dress being blown up around her just like Marilyn Monroe's.

23 Little Spoons

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, ISO 200, F2.8, 1/45 sec, macro setting, handheld.

I ttok this shot during a visit to Glasgow Botanic Gardens, the small petals look like small teaspoons and this is what attracted me to this flower, don't ask me what the name of flowers as i haven't a clue but i do love their colours and shapes. I took this handheld but i would recommend using a tripod.

Coatdyke Lights

Canon EOS 550D, 18-55mm lens, ISO 100, Aperture Priority F22, 3 Exposures

These lights get switched on at the end of October every year and stay on until about the end of February.

I took this photograph this morning at about 7am they were turned on the night before. I took 3 exposures +/- 2 stops, ISO set at 100 and using aperture priority at F22. I then generated an HDR using Photomatix and edited a little bit more using Picasa. I like night photography but could be abit dangerous in the evenings so that is why i chose the morning for this photograph  much safer especially if you work alone.
