Best (of) friends

"For your own safety please do not climb on the staircase." !

Nigel Goodwin (Sussex, then Aberdeen by means of Dundee) in the Merlin (Edinburgh). I love all the greens and browns in this.

An old jute factory site in Dundee. Nigel, an old friend from Sussex Uni, had moved there for a year at the University. To Dundee, that is. He wasn't living in the factory ;)

Contemplating her drink? It's all yellow.

A bit "impressionistic a la Nokia"?

With the power of the 70–300mm, I'd just seen Kim coming towards me and had time to get the camera out, get down, and get a shot before he'd gotten anywhere near and before the moment was gone. I'm still exploring what else this "wildlife" lens can do. This is a significant crop of it because some of the background stuff was a bit distracting. I'm not sure that I'm happy with it yet. The cheekiness of the expression is brilliant, so a really hefty crop might be better... see the next shot in the photostream, or the comments, on this photo's page.

It's the shadow on the floor that I most like here, although the significant difference between the received image and the reflection interest me too — enhanced by the knowledge that there's yet a third perspective from outside of the window.
