Plan so far, going to Edinburgh on Saturday. Will be parking the mini bus at Leith Oceanic Shopping Center and using public transport into the city. Don't want too much luggage so thought K5 and 18-135mm will be adequate. I know it photography related but any hints and tips apart from "don't bother" etc.

Make sure you have the SUN in the right position (i.e. over your shoulder).
So that your subject has a nice smile and doesn't look glum in the
photo get them to say.... "gorgonzola cheese souffle" as you take
the shot!... Saying "Truprint" also works.

Exactly the sort of tips I was looking for. Can't understand why I would need a newspaper over my shoulder :

Well the Mirror is better in front of you so you can see
any togs behind nicking your shots!

Be bold and don't be afraid to ask people to pose.

And the sun might be taking a day off on Saturday so no worries there.

But my best bit of advice is, unless you enjoy driving through roadworks, park at Newcraighall link which has a train every 30 minutes which takes 10 minutes or at Straiton Park and Ride link which has a bus every 20 minutes.

And stop talking about photography!

Thanks for that Gareth, I'll pass that along to the driver. I think we are on to newspapers and shorts now

Slight problem with the carbs, so a spare tank was propped on the frame.

It's a bit noisy, but hey I knew that!
