The Isle of Whithorn Peninsula

The Isle of Whithorn Peninsula

It was a bank holiday weekend with some friends, my girl and my first chance in a while to head out with a almost fully working arm.

A good opportunity to take some HDR shots while out and about in the West of Scotland. Our accommodation was the old harbor masters house over looking; yes you’ve guessed it, the harbor. If you have ever been to Scotland you will know that water proofs and thermals are standard protocol however for some strange reason we were blessed with sunshine all weekend and we found ourselves unequipped with a lack of sunhats.

Now when you want to take some HDR shots their are too tools that are needed. Number one, a camera and number two a tripod. The only problem is I forgot my tripod. So I was limited to the stones and brick laying around.

This shot was taken on the Peninsula just of the harbor on the Isle of Whithorn where fortunately there is lots a stone kicking about. A seat on side of the peninsula looking out over the Scotish coast. The only problem is I took a shot of the chair not the view.

Let me know what you think.

The Smoking Room

Yesterday was mine and Em’s opportunity to celebrate our new home with friends.

Normally I would be trigger happy with my camera on a night like this to ensure I had something to remind me of the night; however with one arm still strapped up and a large volume of drinking to be done I had to come up with another plan.

Without wanting to hassle all of our lovely guess with some kind of photo booth or  cameras in everyroom taking pictures all the time; I decided the best thing to do some to pick on the minority.  Them Dirty Smoker’s!

With the Webcam set to record at 1 frame per second in the designated smoking room for the whole of the night I was rewarded with this little bit of film genius.


Google-ing Yourself

We’ve all done it… Google your own name to see who you name sake is (Phil Brown; just so you know). Well I’m a Football manager, a runner and an Actor; not any old actor I am Uncle Owen from Star Wars.
