Airshow 07

Saturday seen us at the air show at East fortune air museum,Nr Edinburgh, altough the previous years have been much better than this, it didnt stop me from taking nearly 900 photos narrowed down to 700 i must say most of these pics are of the red arrows my all time favourite!!
I do not really get over excited about going but go as paul is into his planes and loves going, and as he takes me to all my craft shows and never complains about it, so i go along with to the air shows, and the leave the modeling areoplane shows to him and his dad!

I just take my camera and happy with that!!!

This is laid back paul talking to his friend
whilst waiting on the start of the air show,

What a Busy few days!

Firstly I must thank Linda for letting me come and play on Wednesday I had a great time! and can't wait to do this again, Maybe you should come to me Linda next time and maybe Paul will get some jobs done!! but then again maybe not I know what he like, he will happily play his xbox with the excuse that he would only get in the way! thanks Linda for cutting out the pianos for me on ur craft robo!! there great!
I know Roz kindly showed me how to use the alcohol inks but I just couldn't get the hang of it, until Wednesday @Linda's and my god I'm no longer chucking out the alcohol inks as I'm in love with them now thanks Linda for showing me again have so many plans including alcohol inking Paul's xbox although i don't think he'd be to pleased but next time we have an argument believe me the xbox will get it!!!:)
I manged to complete two pages at Linda's which I was happy with! finally got the Autumn pages done from last year!

I have also been back to kirkcaldy with my great uncle again! were very close and whilst I'm of college i try and spend as much as possible with him as i know when I'm @college I hardly see him, he took me to ravenscraig park which was so lovely and peaceful and we walked for miles, his poor knees will certainly be giving him grief over the next few days!! but as he says he thinks of places i can photograph! and never complains
we walked to a place called Dysart which had beautiful habours and beachy bits with so much to photograph, from wildlife to things washed up on the beach (like the washed up wheel)

we also visited the new hovercraft which was doing a two week trial taking passengers between Kirkcaldy and Portabello and again i took even more photos, then if that wasn't enough we walked even more to go and see the seals I've waited years to see them!! as my uncle has spoke of them often!! (Linda u would love it where we was plenty photo opportunities)

Sunflowers!

Photo collage

this was created in photoshop using instructions from Becky on UKS bridgit had also made a template for us to use but it kept carshing the computer, so i jsut followed Beckys instructions and came out with the above results now looking forward to getting it printed 12"x12" for my scarpbooking album!!

I am going to put anotther boarder around the outside the collage and then do a page on the actuall day out from college as this wa san opportunity we couldnt miss and i love dthe passenger 4 seater plane no where as scary a sthe huge plane we got to Fuertventura cant wait till our next trip!

Bryan Adams Concert Murrayfield Edinburgh

Saturday 21st July 2007
If the heavens were going to open I known it would have been Saturday night of all nights!! we were at the Bryan Adams concert At Murryfield rugby stadium we stood for an hour in the que just waiting to get in, by which point we were drenched anyway!!!
after watching support bands for 3 hours Bryan Adams finally came on at 830, altough i knew what songs he was gonna sing when I had a ball, and loved every minute of it, despite getting even wetter by 11pm, it still made my and many other girls night to be there.
leaving you with some pics naff quality but taken from phone!!! camt upload from my father in laws compact as i need the programme!



as u can everyone was soaking wet!













This is the crowd near the end when most people thought it was over everybody was dancing in the rain and enjoying themselves
















In this picture you can the big down pour

Butterfly and Insect world

Today Linda and i went off to the butterfly and insect world at Dalkeith (Edinburgh),
this was our back up plan as Linda was keen to go on a landscape photoshoot but due to the typical scottish weather we went with the butterfly world.
We both had a great day and took lots and lots of photos, even after my camera deciding not to work after a few huffs and puffs and going back to the car the camera then decided to work,

this is my third time there but never got the same picture twice whilst there and always see different butterflies.
Linda and I were tempted to mug the poor guy that had the canon 1d, we both thought he was a pro but after a converstaion found out he just did it as a hobby, Linda and i agreed that he just had to much money and like every photographer wanted and needed the best of the best, (don't worry Linda our time will come for ours!) his poor wife (carried all his stuff for him) and looked so bored, this reminded me of my boyfriend following me around on my photography excursions only one difference is i still have to carry my own things and not like this man's wife my boyfriend actually has a secret eagerness to play and take photos too! (apart from when im out at a garden or the botanical gardens, just not his thing) sometimes better than mine and his are just fluky shots from someone that dont worry about apeature, shutter speed or even getting the correct exposure, thats what I get for learning all the proper ways at college, must start taking my other memeory card just for him!!!















































thanks again Linda for a lovely Day!! cant wait till our next excursion!!!
(never got a pic of u!!!)
