This is the view of the railway bridges over the Clyde into Central Station from the “Glasgow Bridge”.

This is from a similar viewpoint, but a telephoto image to pick out the silhouettes of the railway pylons. The damp wall of the bridge works well in the low glancing light.

Same again here. Look at the sunbeam below the bridges; amazing.

I would like my thanks to be noted for the birds who performed so wonderfully in this image.

I’m not so sure about this one, the wall splits it a little too centrally although the bus adds context and reality.

Two black and white bridge details exploiting the soft, low contrast light.

They say the best camera you have is the one you have with you. The S95 was a better than basic choice for me, this cyclist’s camera phone was his best available choice.

My lunch today was by the Clyde in Dunoon where I was working. The wind was strong enough to rock my car around and the waves were crashing all along the promenade. I wanted to take a picture but it was impossible to stand anywhere on the promenade without getting soaked. I cheated by driving my car to line up with this beach access stairway and rolled down the window. I still got large amounts of salt water in the car. I only had my work Canon G7 in the glove compartment, so no Raw files available, jpeg only. I used the flash to try and make the water sparkle; I then pushed the processing to make it a little surreal and oversharp.

Just a bit of fun in wet and wild Scotland in January. I hope you feel sorry for me having to get on the ferry to cross the Clyde a little while later!
