Forge Welding
Another from Blist’s Hill Victorian Town – a live demonstration of forge welding. I thought that flash might be distracting for the smith and with fire and hot metal around I didn’t want to chance it; so, this is an available light shot. The dynamic range of this shot was considerable and I needed to [...]

Endless Woods
On a long walk round the Atholl Estates in Glen Barvie and Glen Bruar there were long stretches going through woods and forest plantations. I tried to get a sense of this in the picture below. I tried this in colour, but couldn’t make it work for me. Taken in Dynamic B&W mode on the [...]

Old Hospital
This old hospital was founded by James VI and I (of Scotland and Great Britain) on the site of an old monastery founded by his forebear, James I. James I, his Queen and Queen Margaret Tudor were all buried on that site. Margaret Tudor was the sister of the rapacious Henry VIII of England, but [...]

We saw one being launched at Pittenweem and tracked it as the five crew rowed it eastwards along the Fife coast in a brisk breeze. An open boat with no buoyancy is an [...]

Through the train window
It is very frustrating to travel into Glasgow daily past splendid countryside and often with marvellous light and not be in a position to take pictures easily. Too often they are spoiled by blur from the train’s vibrations or the internal reflections from the windows. This was a rare example where things worked out – [...]

A Splash of Light
I saw this sunburst when I was at Balvaird. I only had a fixed (and relatively short) lens with me; so, I tried to place the impact of the sudden shafts of sunlight in the generally darker countryside. Shooting into the sun added its own challenge. This is another shot that has much more [...]

Wildflowers before the storm
Here is another picture from just before yesterday’s deluge. I love the colour contrast that you get with summer storms – the bright foreground contrasted with the leaden sky. Here the flowers are being tossed about by the squally winds that precede the sharp rainstorm. This shot was taken with a telephoto lens to flatten [...]
