Picture taken from the sand, looking out to sea. There is a low jetty, slicing into the frame from the left, on which lies a pair of blue shoes. They are in the extreme left of the frame and merited many shots of their own.

View over Edinburgh showing the three bridges, hills, rooftops and a plane coming in to land. Sun is kissing some areas and lighting up the clouds.

I didn’t have a better lens at the time, so couldn’t capture detail, but I still love this slice of citrus in inky waters. Doesn’t he look great.

Photograph of a man in a bright orange canoe, out in the waters of the bay. The sea, clouds and sky hold all shades of blue and the canoe slices in with sunshine hitting both it and the canoeist. It’s both bright and muted.

A swimmer leaving the sea, it’s a mostly differing shades of blue shot, made up of sea and sky. As she strides out, the sun has hit her strong pink swim hat and gloves which makes them and her body pop out of the shot in brightness.

A beautifully coloured starling standing on a wall. The orange bricks behind him contrast with his blue and green feathers with white speckles. There is a painted strip of orange, white and blue paint beneath where he is standing which ties in all the same colours. He is very good looking and seemed to be posing for me.

A man sitting on a wooden bench looking upwards, the entire backdrop is shades of green leaves being hit by light in different ways, almost like a disco ball. The light is muted. His face is hit by light, his body largely in shade.

Our lollipop man used to see us across the road daily with a song. As traffic moved he’d shout “let’s rock ‘n roll folks”. A joy to bump into him.

Close up of Mr King standing outside St Giles Cathedral, it is in black and white and the autumn sun is touching the back of his head. He wears a striking checked jacket and has turned his head to one side. He is grinning.

Picture taken on a winter day, pointing upwards into the trees, the image seems to go on forever reaching into a central point. There was thick snow on the ground and some is evident on the branches. The trees stand out in silhouette and it looks to be shot in black and white. It is a colour photograph.
