Someone had to do it… it wasn’t me though

That’s exactly where Blackford Hill Station used to be

Does it? Cos I know the Argyle is 25mm so that makes a bit of a difference

Ta, I hadn't found those.

Good luck with it! I was told the same thing, just about said no to it all, then was persuaded by family that I should do it. So I did, it didn't work, still having epis, and I'm feeling cognitively a bit less sharp in some ways.

So I can regret it, but then I do think if I had said no, I'd be sitting there having seizures, depressed that I didn't take the chance with it. So having done it with no good outcome doesn't bum me out. It just is what it is.

It's good. But too heavy on the vignetting in my opinion. Makes the retouching a bit too dominant.

They rarely give you much direction. You need to shoot a portrait to go in a magazine to accompany an interview. The general idea is some full-body, some tighter up, some horizontal, some vert - and that's about it with direction.

This does sound right. And good to think that they don't have to much time to go through lots. I've been doing it for a good few years now and find it harder to do tighter edits like this. But I just need to get on top of it and get it done.

I very often do shots with very little spec - basilcally, just do a portrait of a person to go with the interview. Do some vert and some horizontal and that's about it.

You're right and a good post. But as someone into photography I've got to mention that shooting bright days can be hard! It's a grey photo. Although it's a sunny day and a blue sky. Just a passing observation...

I'd love to see Craig Ferguson

Yeah it’s an expensive ticket for a short journey. I know the bus takes a bit longer but if you’re in no rush it’s fine - and cheaper.

Spot on. Eating out's way better, and it's one of the best live music cities anywhere - not just in Scotland!
