Pop Couple
In honour of leap day, something unique for the blog. A heavily processed piece of street photography.
Normally the images on this site will have had minimal work done in Photoshop. This one’s had a lot done to it.
I’ve been experimenting with stylized, almost pop art interpretations of photos for a project so this is what has happened to this one.
Geo. Burn Wynd
McKenzie St.
Tolbooth Street
An example of the two different typefaces found on Kirkcaldy’s ceramic street signs next to each other in the same street name.
Douglas St 2
Russell Place
This week’s street name I chose because of the nice shadows cast by the bare trees across the wall.
Asquith St
Unusual
Two unusual things happening at once – someone going for a dip in the Forth on Kirkcaldy beach, and a hovercraft coming into land on Seafield beach.
This I Just Don’t Get
This strangely attired pair were performing on the High Street in Edinburgh during the Edinburgh Festival last year.
Strangely this particular picture got a huge number of hits (well for me) in a very short time on flickr.
Parked
Seemingly this is my fourth ‘most interesting’ photo on flickr. As far as I can tell that particular algorithm yields odd results.
I still like this picture though, so incongruous – this woman sat on her bags in the middle of the pavement.
East Albert Road
This weeks street is close to my favourite and very probably the one that laid the seed for the whole project.
A few years back I was doing a lot of walking – on the dole and very broke – and found myself on East Albert Road, except the sign was subtly damaged and I was convinced it was called Last Albert Road. Which instantly became my favourite street name ever, until I was corrected.
Anyway I reckon that’s what got me interested in the ceramic street signs in the first place.
Townswomen
Another old blog entry. This is a tree-lined avenue in the Meadows on the southside of Edinburgh. It’s particularly nice when the cherry trees are in bloom and the pink and white blossom drifts in the air down the path.
Montgomery St 2
The second in our weekly series of Kirkcaldy’s ceramic street signs.
This one’s an oddity, just displaying Montgomery – the Street is missing for some reason.
Blue Tit, Ravenscraig Park
A second bird in a row.
This blue tit was high up in a tree and I captured it with my sigma 300mm zoom.
The attitude of the bird is just perfect.
If you click on the picture it will take you flickr, where you will be able to see it at it’s biggest size and you can see just how crisp and detailed the bird is in the shot.
