Saturday was another day when it struggled to get light. After collecting the dogs from their haircutter, I got changed and headed down to Kinross for the Christmas Market. It was very dark, I didn’t have any strobes as they are in the camper. It wasn’t a bad do but not very exciting.
The crowds wandering towards the market…….All two of them.
There were lots of folk about when I arrived. It could have been better lit, folk were wandering about and bumping into each other, stepping in puddles and cursing…..Quite good fun.
Carol Singers.
Folk Singers. There was also The Salvation Army Brass Band but they were in a really dark place. It was not the best evening out but it was worth attending.
This morning dawned bright and sunny.
Holly basking in the sunshine.
Barely a cloud in the sky.
Alf with his new haircut. He’s already found some muck.
Moll is no better they are mucky little devils.
Sun on Hen.
Loch Leven. It is a wonderful day but it isn’t forecast to last. I’m hoping to get out for a walk this afternoon. I bet it rains on me.
Have a good week.
Have a good week too Mr Adrian. The natural light in those morning photos is interesting.
ReplyDeleteCarol, it is better than interesting it is sunshine....a rare commodity here.
DeleteThat looked like a 'happening' do Adrian, everyone looks full of festive cheer?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you wouldn't want that mucky pair to be any different?
Now, that last picture?....We all know that the Scots are world famous for promoting their golfing heritage...I know why now...it's not the size of their egos, it's the size of their bloody balls!!! ....[;o)
Trevor, I enjoy small town dos'.
DeleteWhen it comes to the dogs then what i want is irrelevant.
This golf ball is for stopping Russian attacks. Who the hell they get to throw it I've never found out. It is for sale if you want it. There's a board up.
I am so please to see that Alf and Moll have just had light trims and not crewcuts. "Mucky little devils"? They say that pets take after their owners. Our cat read Shakespeare and could drink six pints of bitter before visiting the lavatory.
ReplyDeleteYP, I am hairier than the dogs. We are equally noisy.
DeleteAdri Aaan what are you standing there to play well, I did not know you did performances.
ReplyDeleteBas, it's not me. I wish I could play the guitar.
DeleteHi Adrian Love the 2 shots of your dogs even through they managed to get dirty. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I should have got a picture before I let them out. It takes them seconds to pick up muck.
DeleteI really like all of these, and how you have played with light in them. Loch Leven is especially beautiful in the light of the setting sun.

Mersad, having light is so unusual that it was fun. Low strong sunlight and the lens wide open can work well.
DeleteTypical dogs always know when to splash around. Found out the first trig point was erected in my neck of the woods. Cold Ashby in Northamptonshire 1936.
ReplyDeleteDouglas, they don't like the smell of dog shampoo. Little sods.
DeleteI have never seen anyone use a Trig Point. I suspect they were redundant before I was born.
That first one captures that cold damp, why did I bother coming out, feeling very well.
ReplyDeletePatsy, it was just damp. It is warm up here not jacket or thermal weather but I suspect that will change during the next fortnight.
DeleteThere seem to be a lot of these 'markets' around at the moment Adrian. Is Christmas nearing by any chance?
ReplyDeleteGraham, something is definitely afoot.
DeleteI really loved this series of pictures, Adrian. Wonderful shots, all telling a story.
ReplyDeleteBill, I usually take photographs then write the story around them.
DeleteLoved that first shot. Glad you got some sun finally. My Gracie would fit right in with Alfie and Molly.
ReplyDeleteCheers
R. Mac. Gracie would be welcome both my dogs are very sociable.
DeleteLocal Christmas markets? They're the best. I'm sure it was worthwhile to go to. The dark made for some good mood photos.
ReplyDeleteRed, without flash I just set the camera to 1/100s, f3.5 and shuffle ISO. I end up with a few that are too dark and a few that are blurred but most seem to work.
DeleteLos perros están muy guapos. Me gusta el enfoque de la torre electrica.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Laura, los perros están muy sucias. Hay dos muchas torres.
