Summer Solstice on an empty platform.

So tonight I've had Wimbledon and my laptop crashing (several times) to keep me occupied, but I'm finally round to my second post, if only to keep my first follower happy (thank you Jess!!)

Here are some pictures that I was inspired to take whilst staying with an aunt in the Lanarkshire countryside (Scotland) last week.

It happened to be Summer Solstice and being so far north, the sky's darkest point was a beautiful dusky shade. The empty train station opposite seemed so alluring.. so I investigated.. and away I shot =)





Hope you enjoyed, let me know if you'd like captions.... =]

So this is me.

Thought I would do the obvious and start with self portraits. Yep, that's me right there, lazing around my living room in the early hours of some date in April. I have a Digital SLR (Sony 200 - yes a Sony, sorry all you Canon lovers) and have been pretty glued to it since I got it last Christmas.

I've always loved photography and have travelled a lot, giving me oppertunity to take all the clichéd shots of myself stood infront of various well known landmarks. Yes, there are a lot, but since seeing the world through my SLR I shy away from these shots. I love new perspectives. Being surprised. Then capturing the moment forever.
I don't want this to turn into an essay!! I have promised myself I will use this blog to reveal a more creative side to me. Hopefully it will take me away from my nemesis yet addiction, Facebook, and bring me into this cyber community, who from what I've seen are lovely!
Any questions, just ask =]
I'll be back!
PS: I'm afraid the current affairs of death and publicity delayed this post by an hour.
