Taken on vacation trips

Preparing to Set Sail

Preparing to Set Sail
It has been quite a while since I did travel photography. Looking through some old pictures yesterday brought back some memories of my trip to Scotland in July 2004. I decided to bring out some old files to reprocess. The above was taken at Kyle of Lochalsh on our way to the Isle of Skye. Kyle of Lochalsh had been the location of a ferry link to Skye since 1600. The Skye Bridge, linking Skye with the mainland of Scotland, opened in 1995 and can be seen in the background of this shot. This bridge virtually replaced the ferry link as a mode of transport to the Isle of Skye across.

Landing For The Podium

Until I get out to take some new pictures, here are some from the older archives…

The above shot was taken at the Bang Pu Seaside, about 10 km from the town of Bangkok on Sukhumvit Road, during the same session as this shot. I was very lucky to have caught this decisive moment just right before the flying gull landed. Just as well that the other two were posing pretty on the two other steps of the “podium” 🙂

I am back from the UK… and finally an update here (more to come when I finally get out to take pictures after the completion of my exams next week) 🙂

As mentioned previously, the only camera that I brought along for this UK trip was the little 2-megapixel one in my mobile phone. Quality wise, of course that camera can never compare to the even the Powershot G3 I was using earlier on. However, I am still amazed with what I can get from such a tiny little camera given the right lighting conditions. The above was taken at Carlisle railway station (known otherwise as the Citadel station) in transit from Glasgow to Manchester. Apart from the resize and a little saturation boost, the image was pretty what I got out of the camera.
