Description

My first try at taking shots of Kids, people actually. It was arranged and although it rained the whole morning we headed out anyway. My friends kids

This was taken from Glen Etive on a freezing cold day. The wind was howling down Glencoe but when I jumped down into the river bank there was enough s

The aptly named Pap of Glencoe sits above Glencoe village and I thought it looked just beautiful with it's powdering of snow on top.

Kilchurn Castle sits at the end of Loch Awe. I arrived on this cold and frosty morning just in time to take this shot. Just a minute later a breeze go

This is taken from the Rannoch Moor looking towards the mountain range called the Black Mount on the road through Glencoe.

I came across this big fella down Glen Etive. Just around this point he faced me up and pushed out his chest so I thought best to head back to the car

A lovely calm day on Glencoe and around the little Lochan that sits above the village.

I took this on a misty morning in the field next to my house. The whole field was a mass of these webs.

This mountain was shot from Glen Etive but sits facing you as you enter the awesome Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands.

I've been up at 4am on many occasions now to capture this castle in the right light or mood. So far the I've left unhappy. This particular day it was

Autumnal feel to mirnings this week with beautiful afternoon sunshine following.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this shot at Loch Awe. Kilchurn Castle is just to the left but it was the mist at the end of the loch that caught my eye.

Time

It was early morning and freezing cold. Frost lying on the ground.

Lighting

The sun hadn’t quite got up but the calm water and the bank of fog reflecting on it made it look so beautiful.

Equipment

I think I was using my Sony 580 when I took this shot. I am pretty sure I was using a 10-20 mm Sigma. Great lens.

Inspiration

The calm flat water and the moving bank of mist was stunning.

Editing

Not much at all other than convert to B&W and crop it.

In my camera bag

I shoot Sony, always have. I have one lens that isn’t a Sony and it’s my trusty Tamron 70-300 f4

Feedback

Get up early. See the shot then wait for the magic to happen.
