٢۹ Karo the Rölchen ٢۹'s photostream

View from the Scott monument towards famous (but too expensive for all the war you get) Edinburgh Castle. I love this kind of perspective - not above above the city, but on an intermediate level. Submitted the tilt-shift version (my first ever try) to the "Edinburgh Discovered" international student competition of the University of Edinburgh Internetional Student Office. Didn't win anything, but was shortlisted at least, so top 50ish of 265 photos ;) I tried to do a new tilt-shift, as I was quite pressured by time with the first version. But in the end I still prefer the first one, what do you think?

...in the end I'm still not that big of a tilt-shift fan - I prefer to see the castle and hills etc. Either you get deprived of 5/6 of the photo, or it does not really seem like a miniature as in my version.. It fitted the topic anyway, because Edinburgh sometimes does feel quite unreal to me. I just love being here.

Tapadh leibh for reading through this gibberish =) Hope you are all as well as I am. I am quite determined to procrastinate today and get back to a few of your photostreams <3

One of my two submissions for the PhotoSoc Semester I competition. Did not win any of the fantastic prizes, but this one ended up in the Semester I exhibition (as one by any participant ;)) YAAY, first ever exhibition =)

Yep, still haven't looked at my Hamburg and Copenhague photos, and here comes a first shot from Edinburgh.

I am looking forward to spending 9 months here =) I guess I'll join the Photography Society, hopefully that'll also take me back to flickr ;)

EDIT: Joined =)

I still can't find the time to spend quality time with my Hamburg/Copenhagen photos and get back to flickr :(

Still I like the atmosphere here too much to not upload it. It may seem overdone (if you know the original?), but it reminds me of a favourite book from my childhood (De torens van februari by Tonke Dragt). That's why I like the unreal feeling.

See you in a few years ;) Got an ERASMUS place in Edinburgh, too much to do before September :O

- misses having time for flickr
- waiting for an ok from uni to be able to go to Edinburgh in autumn, waah!
- doing an analogue photo course with my mother right now (we'll develop the negatives next time :O)
- broken lense is repaired, but camera is yet to be picked up at canon service store
- Hamburg is beautiful, hopefully more photos to come =)
