Photography & Flickr, & Dundee

Posted by MrPowers under Photography

I have never fancied myself as a photographer but have always admired the people who do take the time and money to produce such wonderful pieces of work. To the left you see my picture of the view from my patio at the front of my house. it overlooks the estuary of the River Tay. Across the river is the small town of Tayport in the county of Fife. There was a fine sunny day (for a change) and it made me decide to take a quick photo as a memoir! I was surprised how well it actually came out. When I showed it to people I know they were surprised not at the quality of the photo, but suprised by the fact that it was taken in Dundee! I would like to think the photo proves contrary to popular belief that “there are no nice areas in Dundee”…..there are some but not lots. A little while back I asked a photographer friend of mine if he wouldn’t mind taking a couple of quick snaps for me as he has a much better talent for this sort of thing. I watched in confusion and envy to a certain extent, with all the time, preparation, and patience it takes to do this sort of thing. Furthermore… man that’s a lot of stuff to carry around just to take pictures!! I am glad he came though. He took a few different photos and did a great job.

Well what can I say! Great work. This gave me a chance to actually put more photos on my Flickr account…. something I don’t do often enough. I have an ok camera just sitting around not doing much, it needs to get used again…. its just about gathering dust! I am very happy to add in any of Alex’s photos to my Flickr
