26th May

started a little project today.
The plan is to get a pic of every business(where possible) on the island
and i'm already finding it tough! :-/

Since these stupid new traffic plans(that took 8 years to plan!) came into force
parking spaces have been lost
and cars are parking if and where they can,
some local shop keepers are having to park their vehicles streets away from their business!
anyway theres cars everywhere, parked in front of every shop in town!
this is going to be a challenge which may involve early morning photography :-o

it will keep me busy whilst Big Bother(ZZZZzzzzZZZzz) is on anyway heheh

Here is where i got the idea ;-)

and here is what i've got so far
if any of you happen to find yourself on Bute, take a pic of a shop, ANY shop will ya! ;-)

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z2
1/50s f/4.5 at 6.3mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Don't do it!!! :)

BTW our wee project onhttp://portobello-edinburgh.org.uk/businesses/index.php has got over £600 of sponsorshop now from the local businesses! Certainly helps to fund the site.

Are they going to pay you?

Good project. Good luck!

Good idea Zak. That ultra-wide angle lens of yours should be a big help.

great idea for a project and you've made an impressive start!

Looks like you have your work cut out, how many shops is that exactly?

Nice idea. When we have our annual street festival they sell posters showing the local shops... there's a thought.

You get two for one in this photo. What's in front of you and what's behind you.

Well you picked a good example to follow in Lee. Seems a good time to climb out of bed & go wandering early...perhap a bike my help :>)
Like it, looks good.
