Tulips

I thought I would just add these in at the last moment. I was out in my garden yesterday when I noticed the tulips and thought that their bright colours would make a lovely photograph. It was a bit windy though, so some of the shots were blurred as the plants got blown about. Also, amongst these is a picture I took today of my friend, which I thought was quite good.

Anyhow, make what you will of them    :)

I particularly like this one!

There she is!

Down By The Riverside

Today I went for a wee stroll down by the river. It was rather nice as the sun was finally out and it was reasonably warm! A rare experience here, haha. It was even nice enough to put my friend in a good enough mood to buy me ice-cream (because I'm such a scrounge) score! So as we walked along listening to one woman scold another for letting her dog walk in the mud, I know, the button on my camera was constantly being pressed.

I took a few experimental shots of running water, but had to sharpen them later on the computer as the camera I'm using doesn't have a fast enough shutter so the pictures were blurred. And on the way back to my house, I saw the perfect composition for a shot (two common doves sitting in the branches of a tree)

But since doves apparently love to hate me, the minute I pressed the shutter button the birds flew off and all I got was some tail feathers! Just my luck... 

By The Jumps

Here are some pictures I took just a while ago by the dirt jumps, in the ever-changing weather of bonnie Scotland. They are probably all out of focus, but hey, I'm a beginner. The camera I have been using is the Sony Cyber-Shot...well as far as I'm aware. A camera that annoyingly decides to date every photograph in red writing! But, it's the only camera I have to hand at the minute, so it will have to do.

 Anyway, here are a few of the best shots :)

Walk In The Woods

These are just a few tester shots I took (quite hastily because my camera was running out of battery power!)

Hopefully there will be many more to come, and hopefully they will be an improvement on these
