I got out my trusty Canon PowerShot G3 last night before I went to bed and set it up to take this time lapse video of a lily. The G3 has a built-in intervalometer. So this was set to take a picture at 5 minute intervals over a 7 hour period. I thought the lily would open up at a pretty linear pace but it didn't. Most of it's movement was in the last hour. So when I do this again I need to judge when that hour is and reduce the interval time.

Went for an early evening drive to Gullane last night on the east coast of Scotland. This was my first visit there and I'll definitely be back. Had a very pleasant walk along the beach then round by the wooded area. My plan was to get some seabird photos but they were too far offshore for my lens. Still I got a bird (of sorts!) and a photo of a sandwich tern.

My commute

I've moved house so it's been a bit quiet round the website for a couple of months. I finally came to the the end of my tether with the daily commute between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I'd been doing that for three and a half years. I have no idea how I managed it for so long and it's only now that I'm not doing that journey everyday that I realise how much of an impact it had on my life. I now have a short cycle to work, mostly on a cycle path. What a difference it makes. Phew.
