Oddly quiet building across the street
Drynie Park on a summers evening, doesn't get much darker than this 🌄

Sometimes this tunnel looks more interesting than others
Smoggy Putney morning
The London eye is surrounded by so much shite it's hard to get a good photo

Mangurstadh bay - No. 2. Tripod? Ain't nobody got time for that. This is a mean stack of 25 photos taken 'freestyle' as close as I could get to steady while pushing back against a 35 mile an hour wind at the top of a cliff. Also saved this special one for post #1500

I've got a bit of a thing for roads and paths trailing off-screen. This was a new walk along the river west of Beauly today. This small road was a solid sheet of ice on the way out but almost completely thawed by the way back.
In the end, this is the only photo I've decided to post from hogmanay at Gallowhill. I took a long running one that didn't turn out as well as I expected. Most of the other ones didn't really have any star interest and instead just looked like noisy daytime shots. I quite enjoyed playing with the Photoshop B&W raw tools to bring out the plough in this one. This is my first proper post of the year so I should outline my new rules for 2018. * Post photos within 24hrs of taking them * Post photos in the order they were taken * Square photos only - no videos or multi-photo posts * No 'overshare', leave an hour at least between posts
Walking up to the top of Gallowhill Wood is my new favorite walk and I managed to sell it as a good firework-viewpoint. I took quite a few photos which I've yet to edit but since I started 2017 with a photo of me taking photos I thought I'd start 2018 the same way. The only difference is that I took this photo, if you look closely, you can see the strap of the remote shutter dangling from my right hand. Happy New Year!
I was hoping for something more interesting to end the year on but these Mulbuie cows will have to do. This is it, the end of 2017 and the end of my #365photochallenge. I'm going to be making some changes to the rules tomorrow. I set out to post a photo every day to encourage me to get back into photography. In this sense I think it's been successful - thanks for putting up with it. I went from iPhone 6, to Sony RX100IV to Pixel 2 + #shotonmoment. There's no denying that the best quality photos came from the camera but I think the #Pixel2 is close enough for me. Also, with the moment superfish and wide lenses I can do more than I could with my camera anyway. I've been to Asturias, South Uist, Ireland and Budapest this year. Next year I'd like that list to be longer. I'll likely be doing a roundup of my favorites on my blog early in the new year. The challenge stops here. The fear of not having a photo to post each day lead me to store up photos while on holiday and post them over the following month. This gives me lots of choice but ultimately makes for a slightly boring feed. When I did set the new rule at the beginning of this month to post photos only on the day they were taken I found that the quality suffered. I also found that while home for Christmas I'd have liked sometimes to post more than one photo per day. So that's it.
I spent the day expecting to post one of my starry sky pictures from the early hours of the morning but when I came across this athletic sheep I couldn't resist
Widgeon flying away before I could get any closer. Even with the 2x lens the birds are just specs really so I've left it as the whole scene rather than trying to get any closer

Lots of nice ones today but this was Mum's favorite. Went for another bonus walk after Findhorn beach around Logie
It was a lovely morning, fast forward a few hours and we're back to doom & gloom. I got caught out and left with this rather boring telephoto test shot as my 'highlight' of the day.
For obvious reasons, this photo has been posted upside-down.
