This video will be panned
Alan Schaller barely needs an intro if you’re into street photography, but this video? Let’s just say it’s absolutely panning out to be a classic. The pan puns are flying faster than a photographer chasing a pigeon with a slow shutter. Honestly, the comments section will be sizzling. If you’re hungry for some motion in…

A Burst of Yellow in Edinburgh Traffic
A yellow bus following a yellow Tesla taxi caught my eye on the streets of Edinburgh recently. Most of the Teslas I saw there were white! A bold move by the taxi driver. I wonder if they have the “I bought it before Elon went crazy” bumper sticker on the back. I presume not. Elon…

A Selfie with Deacon Brodie
What! You’re looking at your phone! I imagine Deacon Brodie would be amazed at technology today. Apparently he was a “respected cabinetmaker by day and a burglar by night, making him one of Edinburgh’s most notorious historical figures”

Through the Window: Edinburgh Reflections
A single, solitary table inside an empty office. A glass jar sits on the table, waiting for the next business to come and rent the room. Maybe a parting gift from the previous occupant?

Visitors in The Great Hall
The Great Hall in Edinburgh Castle is a popular part of the castle, with visitors milling around throughout the day. Here’s some info about the hall that I got from Perplexity.

Evening Light on Cathedral Lane, Edinburgh
Yesterday evening, walking along a road in Edinburgh, I saw that the setting sun was casting long shadows, and as luck would have it, those make interesting subjects, especially the light and dark of sun and shadow. Hopefully, the person in the pub was having a nice evening in there, it was lovely being out.

Shadow Play on a Scottish Street
Shadows on a wall as the sun sets in Edinburgh. I had hoped to go up Calton Hill this evening, but the Beltane fire festival is happening there tonight. I have to be up early in the morning, so I decided not to go, but now I already regret not going! I’d have stayed far…

The world in reflection
On a cold December night in 2018, I was taking photographs of reflected light in the puddles of the Docklands in Cork along with others from Blarney Photography Club. Henry would have been on the light stick, and I’m sure I’ve posted other photos from the night, over the years as the lights are striking.
