Well it’s been 1627 days since I began but I’ve finally submitted my PhD thesis and so am more or less free of all serious responsibility for at least the next few weeks! At least until I figure out what I want to do next! It will give me the time now I hope to start taking some photos again (I’m going to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks) and update the site here more frequently.
Part 3 of my HDR Tutorial is about three months overdue so that’s top of my to do list, in the meantime, enjoy this depressing pic from Scotland 
.
If you’re interested in knowing how I made this, along with my other photos, you can check out my

There’s a famous stretch of road in Edinborgh, that reaches from Edinburgh Castle to Holyroad Abbey. I don’t know why but I didn’t get any photo of the Abbey – I did do the Mile though! We went inside the castle walls but didn’t bother with paying into the castle interior – it was the morning after the night before and no one was really in a cultural frame of mind . I would recommend Scotland, if only to try out some delicious haggis, check out any Scottish menu and you’ll see something called ‘Haggis, Neeps and Tats’, which is an affectionate way of saying Haggis, Turnips and Potatoes . It’s really really nice!
This photo was made from one image – exposures of ±2EV and ±1EV were pulled from the metered shot using Photoshop. I really have to take my tripod on more trips!

I’ve just finished wrapping all my Christmas presents (I’m not sure you can call it ‘wrapping’, more like sticking bits of scrunched up paper to boxes until I can’t see the box anymore!), so It’s relaxation time
Here’s another picture from the botanical gardens in Glasgow, Scotland. There is a central circle of tropical plants and the humidity while in there is almost unbearable! – I much prefer cool and dry myself
Since I didn’t bring a tripod to Scotland with me I took this as a single RAW shot and then pulled out 4 additional exposures at ±2EV from the file using Photoshop. Photomatix was of course the magic tool I used to create the HDR tonemapped image.

It’s been a while since I posted in any sort of consistant manner but it’s the Christmas holidays now so I have some free time .
After jumping on some super cheap flights (€12 return!) to Glasgow with a few friends, I was dragged to the Botanical Gardens there by one particular tree hugin friend! It was small and humid but it I did see some really strange looking plants there – this is probably one of the more normal looking ones though! There was also a banana tree!
