If you can include Ibrox in the shot you might increase your chances of winning...

Very few people get to see real prints these days. I have seen staggeringly good black and white prints and they are a thing of true beauty. Most of us dabble at the edges of such quality. I expect that genuine Adams prints would evoke a similar feeling.
Having gone on 'tog holiday courses and visiting every cliched spot in Scotland my friend has recently bought a 5Dmkii. Spending 20mins in the pub exalting its virtues, 'detail, full frame, low ISO etc etc' while I was shaking my head the whole time, finally I asked,
'So since getting into photography (with the 400D last year), have you actually printed anything off?'
'No'

Pentax are sure missing out on all that FF money from morons.

Maybe its because of film, but what I like is the shots don't have that look, that they were created by moving Lightroom sliders, like a lot of landscapes today.

I suppose you could count out Amazon on 'tax avoidance' reasons to help narrow it down.

Well, they do like to say Pentax's AF is a few generations behind other makes.

LOL the second one oh man, funny link!

Ruining the videography, ruining guests experience, ruining his own shots, and dressed like he is popping out to get the Sunday morning paper.

Whether I was doing the video/photography or even just a guest I would have asked that guy to cease and desist, most likely via the throat while pinning him against a wall.

I'm sure you'd pick up some things, might be pretty good if it's one on one. A pal of mine did Billy Currie's workshop but was a bit disappointed, he just took them down to the rail bridge and only came round once and awhile to check up, too man people. Your stuck with whatever weather you get as well.

Depends how competent you feel your are I suppose. If your simply after locations in the area and tips then this guy is trying to make a name for himself

Flickr link

Bit cheeky to call yourself "The Real Edinburgh" when every place he's goes has been done by thousands of others but hey-ho, however he is generous with tips, settings, times of day etc, might be worth following if ur on Facebook, spend the £24 on petrol

Yeah it's a tricky issue... maybe the answer is to all this is to take a camera along when your out photographing, then you can take a picture of the scene so you'll know what it looked like when you get home and process your photo.
