Dr O I think that is the struggle I am having, its a bit like looking at Hockney artworks. You often think what's good about that, I could do it. With other bits of modern art the meaning is too intellectual or maybe just con or even a cultural difference

Hmmm the picture must tell a story but does it have to be in a street? Does it have to be candid?

....or are the shots simply snapshots of time?

and why are most black and white?

Dave

I was wondering what is the definition of street photography and what makes a good street photograph?

Dave

Now, now, no falling out I think I understand the route options

What about photo opportunities not to be missed whilst on the Orkney Islands?

Anybody got any pictures they would like to share?

Are there any good campsites?

Dave

Thanks for the guidance on travel. We've done the Glencoe stretch a few times so I will go the quicker route to get more time on the Orkneys. It looks like a two day journey up the A9 and catch the ferry the next day. We have the campervan so accommodation on the way up is cheap. however, the places to eat would be useful Andy, I will pm you.

Now, with so many islands where is the best place to start? The archaeological sites are must. Which are not to be missed?

Ken you mentioned Hoy - is that for stunning cliffs and rock stacks?

Are there breeding bird sites where photos are possible (a good excuse to buy the 1.4 converter :mrgreen

Don't you just love the planning

Dave

I am at the early stages of planning a trip to Orkney in early summer. We will be staying in the campervan.

Two questions for a star

1. What is the best what to get there in terms of routes through Scotland and the choice of ferries

2. What are the places, wildlife, sights etc not to miss?

Dave

Ken

Neither work for me as there is no connection between the subjects. If the lady on the left were looking more to the right there might be a story there... I am also distracted by the writing in the centre of the picture

Dave

Please don't post the photos

have a wander round the custard factory area. I was there last year and I Thought there was an interesting combination of hitech new build, old industrial and refurbished industrial/commercial buildings
