The Portrait Gallery

Location:  a poor weather forecast made us decide to visit an exhibition of digital photography at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. On the day, the weather was better than expected, so some of us explored the surrounding streets instead. 

Weather: dull but dry; better than expected. 

Optional theme: yellow. We leaned heavily into this theme - several of us based our whole morning's shooting around the colour yellow.

Refreshments - The gallery café. Coronation chicken focaccia was very warmly received! 

Memorable moment: when reviewing these photos, we had a spirited debate about whether gold was a shade of yellow, or a different colour. 

Eileen found multiple layers of gold frames in the gallery

Kate's photo finds gold in the architecture 

New recruit Vincent found another layered composition in the gallery 

Ada found a yellow detail in a child's portrait 

An abstract detail from a portrait of Nicola Benedetti, found by Alex 

Beryl found a clash of gold and blue 

Colin found a yellow fingerprint reader on the gallery wall 

Further afield 

Dorothy photographed a hummingbird hawk-moth 

Ian shared some photos from a recent trip to Orkney 

Sandra shared the first phot she ever took as a member of the group
