The changeable light of August in Edinburgh brings great challenges to the photographer. The conditions suggest certain technical settings and seem to guide you away from others. Within the limitations are more possibilities than it may at first appear. One huge advantage to the fickle forms of light is that there is often more space and time to take pictures on the Royal Mile. Those that brave the less advantageous weather conditions are often more inclined to help make a photograph into a picture. With the use of perspective and after gaining an angle you might still have time to balance the composition and set up your lighting before you click and flash and then take up a second position for an alternate elevation and then click and flash again. Sometimes the difficulties in the creative process produce the challenges that make the finished work more stratifying.
