What Paul Saw….

I downloaded the photos from the D40 yesterday, the camera Paul was mucking about with on our hike up a hill south of Perth.

Other than reducing them and creating collages I’ve done nothing else to them. No cropping or straightening or sharpening or exposure correction. Nothing.

Paul saw…. a rabbit hole, the path ahead, a pretty contrail and the top of the hill.

He also saw me, pylons and his Dad (and he said to me “You’ve looked better” – cheers son)

Sheep and more of me and his Dad (trying to get me looking better I assume…)

And a fern, he wanted to show the fern…

Did I already mention that I haven’t cropped a single one of these?

They are exactly as he took them.

Hmmph.

He’s 6 so I call it Beginner’s Luck.

I must check the card he had…..

Xited

There’s a tumble down wreck of a farm cottage on the A9 south, just after Blackford as you travel towards Glasgow.

For as long as I can remember it’s had “Welcome to Perthshire” daubed on the south facing side and “Free Scotland” on the north.

I’ve always wanted a photo of it.

Everytime I pass it I think to myself “I must stop and get a photo of that….”

It’s been tarted up a bit recently.

Rather than the faded slogan of forever, someone has been at it with a bit of blue, a bit more white.

Today I stopped.

I’m not the only one “Xited” for 2014 then.
