Assignment 3: Edinburgh Canal - the final mile

I have chosen to photograph the final mile of the Edinburgh Canal for Assignment 3, the focus of which is natural light, which I walk along daily to and from work. I have seen the canal in many lighting conditions, and it was a good challenge to photograph its different aspects, trying to avoid the typical views (boats and birds) to capture some of what I think makes the area diverse and interesting. Thus I have focussed on some of the colourful grafitti and unusual views of the canal.
