avoiding the obvious 1

these photos are largely as they came out of the camera. some have been cropped to tidy the edges, some [only a few] have been straightened. others [probably only too obvious] have been tweaked. no photoshop, just iphoto and quick.

they are a selection of pictures taken along the way during our recent jaunt through the english and scottish countryside. most of the body of photographs taken were either holiday snaps or recording our visits to some memorable gardens and sculpture parks [some more of that later]

most of these photos were taken with the M8. getting used to single focal length [~38mm] and manual focus required some relearning. the camera lives up to its reputation, i think, and i am looking forward to many more outings. being on holiday 'en famille' means that it is not always easy to get the space and time to simply find the subject, so most of these images are a spontaneous take on a glancing visual moment.

here we go, here we go, here we go

our house, is very very very old house
with fruit trees in the yard
no kitchen or no bath
to live in would be hard
a new one's on the card[s]
