Without anywhere legal to go during the Uk lockdown i was forced to stay put at any site that can host motorhomes.

Once i realised this condition I knew we’d be in this for a good couple of moths, so i wanted to try and choose a decent location.

I aimed at edinburgh. The outskirts of edinburgh, where I could do some excercise in the little highlands, but not be too far from the city.

Most days I do a 14 or 20 kilometer hike. And hill sprints throughout.

The battle of the fat gut is real, and must be overcome.

I don’t normally take serious camera gear up the hill, but yesterday I took the lightweight sony a6600 to see how it performed as a landscape photogrpahy camera… and i have to say it did ok.

I’ll save hasselblad for the serious imagery. but it was enlightening to know what a simple camera could deliver when the only task is to tell my story, and not weight me down.

The other critcal aspect of this operation was to be able to get images from me to content consumer easily.

A huge mistaek ive made in the past is rendering images that are 1-3mbs. Now, I’m rendering much smaller, and lower qualitiy images that are find for web viewing, and most importantly fast and reliable to upload, around 200kb.

But for the stunning full res images I still have the option of prodibi, as for the one full res image below, before the full gallery of all the image of the march.

check them out, and enjoy.

The image below is uncompremised, and can be viewed in full res. The images in gallery are produced efficiently for web sharing.

Compulsory selfie included.

I want to make note that these photos below were taken with a poultry Sony A660.

This is a little cropped frame sensor camera that I use for vlogging and videogrpahy. It’s not renowned for its photographic ability.

But alas, the photos are pretty beautiful. Thats a testament to the kinds of sunsets that you get in the pentland hills outside of edinburgh.

Seeing these results set me on a course to mobilising my hasselblad camera. I wanted to be ale to walk and photograph everything, all the time. You never know when an unmissable moment is gong to reveal itself.

Sony a6600 inspired me.
