Location
This photo was taken in the Scottish Highlands, by the rural hamlet of Glenfinnan. The viaduct is famous for its role in a popular magical movie collection and stands proud and picturesque against the rugged hillside.Time
I visited the area around mid -afternoon but in the depths of the cold Scottish winter there wasn't a soul around to share the moment.Lighting
I wanted the image to show the true colours of the landscape. Luckily the haze from earlier in the day had lifted and I managed to get this lovely clears shot.Equipment
I am an extremely basic photographer, with no special training or equipment. I took this photo using my old iPhone SE camera phone. They're was no tripod or special lenses, just a fairly steady hand and plenty of luck.Inspiration
I've always loved the Highlands for its rugged beauty and magical landscapes; throw-in this viaduct's connection to the Harry Potter work it was a shot I enjoyed taking even more.Editing
Aside from sharpening the image slightly using snapseed, this photo has received no significant post-processingIn my camera bag

Step away from the crowd, look for a different angle and don't just get caught up in the photography, enjoy the moment
