Evening at the beach

Down at the beach last night as the sun disappeared into the heavy clouds.

Photo taken with HTC Desire.

British Armed Forces and Veterans Day Parade

Yesterday’s parade in some more detail. Faces, caps, badges and medals.

Some more photographs are across at Flickr.

British Armed Forces and Veterans Day Parade

Just a taster of some photos from the British Armed Forces and Veterans Day parade along Union Street in Aberdeen.

Canon 40d with Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II Lens. JPGs resized via Windows.

Cricket on the Links

On the way back from the beach, I stopped to watch the cricket. I just couldn’t find a combination that worked for me, and not being able to see the results of the shots on the lcd plate was a problem. Something to sort out for next time.

Aberdeen Beach

After a trip up town (unsuccessfully trying to get a couple of padded lens cases), I dined and then went down to the beach. I was on the prowl for surfers, taking my 55-200mm Tamron lens, but only saw some fast-moving jet ski-ers. Too fast for my limited skills. I took a few shots, including the one of pebbles – which seems to hang on some people’s walls. Peculiar. I must get round to replacing some of my faded prints with some of my own photos.

Music to edit by

Editing some of today’s photos and just had to dig out this:

Carnie Wood, near Elrick

An evening with the midges in Carnie Wood, getting to grips with my newly arrived Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II Lens. I didn’t spot any squirrels, but plenty of flying things, big and small. A very well looked after piece of woodland. [maplink]

Next time, I make sure there’s midge-repellent in the car.
