How Long for a Photograph?

Well 3.07 times 2 for 9 minutes of shutter action. I was on the road once again for RBS Business Sense magazine. This time it was to HJS Helicopters just west of Aberdeen, which is 3 hours and 7 minutes from Edinburgh according to the AA Route Planner. And half an hour after arriving my subject, Sidney Simpson, presented himself. And exactly 9 minutes later (I checked on the metadata) he announced that was enough. No second shot. All over in a flash I suppose.
Still before our second 3 hour and 7 minute leg to Edinburgh we got to see a little of how these helicopters are built. They are basic to say the least and based on a 1950's concept but so meticulously maintained and rebuilt that it would shame even a nearly new car.

Pulling the Shutters down......




....on an Edinburgh landmark. Well many, me included, feel it's more an eye-sore than landmark and are happy that it'll be rubble soon. Luckily I got 2 hours in there recently and some of the resulting images are now on my website.

June

On the first of the month I usually post the relevant page from a calendar that I produced at the beginning of the year. Well for this month I was away and didn't have access to that particular file.
Better late than never as they used to say .... but as I'm about to do a bulk email I thought I'd post that image instead as it includes the June calendar image.
So it's a BOGTF rather than a BOGOF.
The portrait is from a series I shot for NHS Grampian through Leith, the healthy fish dish was shot for UrbanAngel and the road shot is from a reccie and is available at Alamy if you're looking to license something "just like that".
