The Forth Rail Bridge shot in winter 2013

A section of Dunfermline Abbey shot by a Nikon D7000 on a cold wet night in 2013

A red squirrel caught mid-meal on a tree.

Everyone has that little place they like to be alone at.A tiny corner where they can clear their minds or just forget about someone easily.This is min

This is Inchcolm abbey on the Firth of Forth in Scotland.

As you drive past the sleepy town of Aberfoyle this scene pounces on you from the left.

Driving back from Perth and heading towards Knockhill racing circuit I was lucky to come over a hill and smack bang into this view.Had to capture it!

A little part of a forest dear to my heart.Taken in North Fife.

Driving through Perthshire, I spotted these two grazing as the sun was trying to break through.

Spotted this strangely lone flower sprouting out from the base of a hill near Balmoral,Scotland.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was shot in Dunfermline ,Scotland and is Dunfermline Abbey,home of King Robert the Bruce's interred body.

Time

It was taken on November 1st 2013( a really cold night I remember)around 9pm.

Lighting

The abbey is lit at night so I just put it on night landscape and shot remotely.

Equipment

I used a good heafty tripod an 18-55mm lens and used my Nikon D7000 with remote control.

Inspiration

I have always loved the abbey and thousands of photos have been taken but none from that angle and at night.

Editing

No post-processing was used.

In my camera bag

Oh I have two cameras,both Nikon,one a D7000 and the other a D3100.I have a 18-55mm lens,a 70-300mm lens and a 35mm prime lens.Also there is cleaning kit,a torch,a pouch containing gradual filters,a macro lens,a flash gun and a macro ring flash.

Feedback

By all means take the iconic shot of a building/bridge/etc...but be different and look at the subject from odd angles.You may have to climb a wall or use stepladders (be careful!)just try and be out of the box sometimes!
