Glasgow Go to 2008: In August 2008 with my spouse and elder son and associates I went to Iona. The journey up from London is an extended one and we determined that moderately than attempt to do it in in the future we’d take the chance to spend a number of days in Glasgow on our method, staying in a lodge near the Faculty of Artwork within the centre of town, named after Charles Rennie Waterproof coat.
We had been in Glasgow for under 5 days however managed to see various town and a few of its environment as my photos present. Trying again I’m shocked on the number of topics within the roughly 2000 pictures I took, working over a 12 hour day on many of the 5 days we had been there.
Solely a reasonably small fraction of the photographs are on My London Diary – partly as a result of this wasn’t London and I then felt a bit embarrassed about posting work from one other metropolis. However the website online – which I up to date usually from round 2000 to the beginning of 2022 besides throughout the lockdown and continues to be on line was very a lot my private diary and so does embrace at the least a few of my photos from outdoors London.
All had been taken on the 12Mp Nikon D300, a DX format digital camera which I had purchased earlier within the yr. It was a really usable digital camera with respectable autofocus and nothing that got here later from Nikon was actually a lot of an enchancment, although the sensor dimension and pixel depend elevated. Do you have to desire a good, low cost DSLR a secondhand D300 would nonetheless be a good selection, as long as the shutter depend was properly beneath the rated 150,000.
I believe I had each a wide-angle and telephoto zoom with me. The Uncooked pictures I made have suffered a bit of from the processing to supply jpegs – software program has improved considerably since 2008, and I believe all of them may benefit from being made a bit of brighter. However life is simply too quick to re-process all of them.
For comfort I divided the photographs into eight moderately arbitrary sections to submit them on My London Diary, and I’ll embrace the direct hyperlinks to those on the backside of this submit. However you can begin at ‘My Photos’ and click on the hyperlink on the backside of every web page to undergo the whole set I’ve posted.
This wasn’t my first go to to Glasgow, however I don’t suppose any photos from my earlier go to after we spent every week there are on-line, and on the temporary go to with associates again in round 1962 I took no photos – I believe I’d completed my vacation movie on Skye, the place my vacation additionally virtually ended as I fell down a mountain.
Mmong different holidays in Scotland I’ve additionally spent a few weeks in Edinburgh – together with as soon as for the competition. And although I loved each cities, I discovered Glasgow me extra. If I ever return to Scotland it will likely be to Glasgow, as I now really feel too outdated to stroll the West Highland Approach.
