I was kindly given tripod by Gillan's mum and dad this weekend so I thought I try another still life shot indoors. The tripod is brilliant, thanks very much Liz and John, hope you like the photo.

Day 48 - Countryside near Brough

On our way back to Leeds on Sunday we took a slight detour in an attempt to try and get a photo. This shot was taken on a country ride just outside Brough, the shot's not too bad for a last minuter but I really need to get the hang of editing skies in photoshop.

I took this shot without a tripod and I'm quite pleased with results. Hopefully the shot conveys the beauty of the architecture on the university campus.

On Saturday we were out in Glasgow for a lovely Italian meal, after the meal I was lucky enough to be able to take a quick tour of the university campus. I took a few shots, mainly of the building but most of these weren't brilliant as I forgot my tripod. I did however manage to a nice stone bench positioned just at the right level to sit my camera on and take a picture of the art galleries by night.

I really think coloured lighting makes city architecture look even better at night.

Friday night and as usual I'd left it till the last to get a picture. I decided to go and shoot out in the street and capture the beautiful night sky. Unfortunately after 2 shots my camera battery died so you all I was left with was this basic street scene.

Last night we went to see Alabama 3 at Leeds Met, as ever they were amazing. They played a fair bit of new stuff as well as plenty of old classics.

I'm looking forward to getting the new album.

Day 44 - Clothworker's Centenary Concert Hall

Today I tried taking a shot of the Clothworker's Centenary Concert Hall at the University. It was pretty overcast so there's no real sky in the shot. I had a dabble at trying to modify this but didn't really get that far. I'm definitely going to have to start reading up on how modify skies in Photoshop.
