Isle of Skye

by on | Leave a Comment

At last there was just a little glimmer of hope with the possibility of some reasonable conditions to plan a photographic trip. I had some time off work due and decided to head for Skye for a few nights. I had not visited the Misty Isle for a couple of years so I booked my accommodation a week in advance gambling that the long range weather forecast was going to be reasonably accurate.

It was dry for the duration of my trip although the first two days were dull and grey with only occasional views of the Cuillins as the clouds spilled over their windblown summits.

Neist Point Lighthouse

Rain, no play

The start to the year has not been that great for photography. I’m not just a fair weather photographer and do quite often go out in less than promising weather in the hope of a break but I have just had a week off work that turned out to be dreadful with heavy rain, sleet and strong winds every day. There was no chance of me getting out with my camera at all. – more –

Bass Rock

Seacliff Bay

There is a great rock feature at Seacliff Bay that I have photographed previously and wanted to photograph again. It is a rock large pool that makes an interesting foreground feature especially when the tide comes in and creates waterfalls around it. It also has a great view to the Bass Rock. – more –

Happy New Year

The weather in the UK during 2012 has been one of the wettest on record with December having more than its fair share of floods and high winds but I have still managed some windows of opportunity and enjoyed a few days out taking photographs. – more –

Rail Bridge Reflection

Fog on the Firth

by on | Leave a Comment

The fog was thick this morning almost covering the whole of central Scotland.

The plan was to get a shot of the bridge before dawn while the lights were still on but arriving at North Queensferry in the dark we could not see the bridge as it was shrouded in thick fog. We headed back over the road bridge to Queensferry which was clear of fog and under a blue sky with the morning light on the Rail Bridge now the sun had risen. – more –

First Post.

I’ve been using WordPress for about a year now and previously posted several articles about my photography. I have recently changed my web hosting company and rather than copy those posts across to my new server I thought I’d start with a clean sheet. I may revisit and add some of those entries again at a later date.
