williamjmDigital Cameras are a fantastic invention, but they do have certain drawbacks. I've only just finished sorting through all the photographs I took while on my trip to the Scottish islands the middle of last month and uploading the better ones to Flickr. Despite only being away for three days I took about 350 photographs, it's a good thing I don't tend to go on long holidays or I'd have just amount of photographs to sort through. The tedious bit this time was cropping quite a lot of the photographs because the disadvantage of taking boat trips is that while the scenery may be impressive there will inevitably be the heads of the other people in the boat (and sometimes bits of the boat itself) getting in the way. The biggest density of photographs was from Staffa, despite the fact that I was only there for about an hour and a half I seem to have managed to take about 120 photographs. I blame the fact it was implausibly scenic:
I've also been trying to decide what I'm going to do with my remaining holidays for this year. After discounting all the days which I've got some sort of plan for I've got about a week left to take sometime before Christmas. Currently I'm thinking I'll probably go up to visit my family in Scotland, since I haven't really been 'home' much this year and it would be nice just to have a relatively relaxing time rather than going away anywhere - it also might allow me time to meet up with some of my friends from my university days in Edinburgh that I haven't seen for quite a while. Currently I'm thinking of probably either early September or mid-October (because most of the rest of the time I have various things planned already) - anyone know of anything interesting happening in Scotland about those dates that would suggest one time was better than the other?
