Camera Settings

And sometimes you just get those camera settings so wrong.

A not particularly great effort with zone focusing.

On the Bench

Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh.

The beginnings of a portfolio of work (I think).

When is Edinburgh quiet? Never.

Heading into Fringe, Festival and Tattoo time - the streets (or certainly those in the centre) will be rammed with people.

Along with all of the opportunities that brings for street photography.

Tourists

Princes Street, Edinburgh.

Outside the Barclay’s Bank branch at the east end of the street.

Protest comes in many shapes and forms.

‘Barclay’s is complicit in Genocide. Blood Bank.’

Protest

Princes Street, Edinburgh, taken on the pavement opposite the Balmoral Hotel (5 star luxury hotel).

There are times wandering around the city that I do wonder what year it feels like - or even what century it is - given the levels of poverty and deprivation that mingle so easily with the crowds of tourists and shoppers - to the extent here that the body in the sleeping bag is either walked around or sometimes just stepped over.

A Modern City

Meet Elaine, who reads the Tarot cards and palms on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

One of the appealing elements of street photography is the new people it introduces you to - and I have had some great conversations with the street performers on the Royal Mile.

How they manage to engage day-by-day with the hoards of tourists gains my respect big time.

Many thanks to those who agreed to have their portraits taken.
