This was the first time I started using my Dad's old OM-Zuiko manual lenses(mounted on my Canon 550d via adapter), on the 10th anniversary of his death. It had taken me years to come to terms with it and as he was a fairly well-respected photographer, it seemed fitting to mark the occasion somehow. There's a 19th-century Jesuit cathedral directly opposite my apartment, which at the time was covered in scaffolding in order to restore the stonework. So I crept up it just before dawn(around 4am in Scotland at this time of year)and waited for the sun to rise far enough for me to capture this image of my flat, the windows reflecting the sunrise as it rolled in from the East. It took me a while to come to grips with using manual lenses(no data whatsoever on my dslr), but I had a rough grasp of hyperfocal distance and metering by eye. I'm still learning, but I genuinely think the pictures I took that morning helped develop me as a photographer immeasurably.
