Pink, gold, blue and green: light from the rising sun skimming a gap between hills illuminating part of the fog a bright fiery shade of orange, contrasting with all the cool shadowy tones.

Dramatic weather conditions: snow falling thick and fast, blowing off the undulating foothills of Schiehallion in the wind, all illuminated by bright sunlight behind. Landscape at its minimalist elemental best.

It's not often a processing "look" suggests itself above some kind of realism, especially in landscape work, but this time it did. I drove past this tree twice: on the way out, it struck me as a pleasantly gnarled shape; on the way back, not only that but the hard sunlight was perfectly illuminating one side of it. With modertately dark clouds behind, an awesome contrast. It faded while I found somewhere to park and then as I ran back along the road the light reappeared one last time. Got it.

A classic view - the clear triangular outline of Schiehallion across Loch Rannoch from the Annat burn outflow with a few treestumps in the foreground.

Brilliant late evening setting sun illuminating the landscape with a warm glow.

Despite having driven it many times, from ground level I never knew there was quite so much glacial morraine in Glen Quaich.

 

An HDR of 15 frames (3 sets of 5*±0.7EV) all blended together for a larger image with greater dynamic range, processed in darktable, PixelmatorPhoto and Ultralight app.

I loved the shapes and linesof water flowing around boulders in the run-off from Lochan na Daimh.

Beautiful morning light: crepuscular rays streaming from a cloud edge, illuminating the sides of Suilven and Canisp and the Manse Loch in the foreground.

Dramatic weather - a summer evening spent chasing a thunderstorm across Angus, rewarded with fantastic colourful sunset.

A brilliant display of crepuscular rays, shadows coming from the edge of a cloud as the sun rose beside Canisp.

Loch Uidh a'Chliabhain and the Manse Loch in the foreground; beautiful receding layers of mountains in the middle; a stunning dramatic display of crepuscular rays as a cloud obscured the rising sun in the distance.

it’s not the bike — it’s the idea of it. carved in shadow, stretched across wood, held still by sun. the spokes turn only in our minds, the rider long gone. what’s left is the memory of motion, drawn in light.

A classic view - the clear triangular outline of Schiehallion across Loch Rannoch from the Annat burn outflow, a patch of sunlight catching the mountain.

I had originally set out with camera and long telephoto zoom lens with intent to take photos of a bird in the area, but got distracted by dappled patches of sunlight passing by on the nearby hill instead.

Some of the most wonderful light I've seen - snow glowing in the subtlest remains of twilight, cold silver-white contrasting with the cobalt blue sky above.

 

Stuc a'Chroin and a sweeping arc of Ben Vorlich from Scout Head hill, Gargunnock.

 

Originally taken as a vertorama to include a lot lower detail, but I took these two images and super-resolved them for a very large high-detailed view of the mountains.

 

Blog: Last light, Stirling

One from an ongoing project combining many of my favourite photographic subjects and techniques: up north in the Highlands, take a walk in the woods, appreciate the shapes of trees and other woodland flora, abstract shapes and lines, light (or not), shadows and silhouettes (maybe), all made with a simple prime lens shot wide open (or thereabouts).

A snow-capped Ben Cruachan from Glen Nant

The Ennio Flaiano Bridge in Pescara: a masterpiece of contemporary engineering by architect Walter Pichler. This asymmetrical cable-stayed structure features an 85-meter central pylon supporting the deck through 28 high-tensile steel cables.

The bold fan geometry and striking white-blue contrast create an iconic landmark that merges structural functionality with aesthetic elegance. A perfect example of how infrastructure architecture can transform into an urban symbol.

The beginnings of sunset forming over distant mountains, looking down a favourite part of the glen from near the Cairnwell.

 

The big elbow shape in the lower foreground is the Devil's Elbow, a difficult narrow old road (tarmac still intact) famous for photos of buses navigating the corners and steep inclines.

An extract from a panorama taken around Edinburgh, looking almost into the sun on a hazy late evening - just before the fog rolled in.

And it doesn't look too bad in black and white either!

When it's not been blowing a gale or sleeting, it's been raining.

The lumpy hillocks are morraine left by a departing glacier at the head end of Glen Turret.

A view along the coast to some of Slains Castle on the cliff-tops.

 

A pleasantly chilled-out moment just sitting, watching humans milling around. The castle, built originally in the 16th Century by the Earl of Erroll and extended and reconstructed several times into the 19th Century, forms an impressive structure.

A few minutes spent wandering around the South Inch in Perth, admiring stark winter tree shapes on a sunny yet hazy-foggy afternoon.

It was pretty unpleasant driving the A9 with reduced visibility in thick snow and near-fog conditions, so I pulled over to take a photo of this well-known tree in a field beside the road.

 

One of the first frames off my new Sony equipment, a 5-frame HDR, median-blended with ImageMagick and paper texture added in Serif Affinity Photo. This is probably best seen large to show the detail of snowflakes falling against the tree trunk.

Beautiful winter landscape; the shadow moved its way across the landscape, with the last light making its way over the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle before heading up Dumyat.

Taken beside the Strathmore/Hope Road north of Altnaharra: a scene full of time from distant mountains to history of the foreground disused shepherd's house surrounded by former grazing terraces.

The well-known monument atop the hills at Fyrish overlooking the Cromarty Firth and Black Isle beyond.

 

Normally I'd think a folly was a rich person's waste of time - and this is only partly an exception, in that it was constructed to keep the locals in labour instead of suffering in the Clearances, with Sir Hector rolling the stones back down the hill to give them extra (payable) work to do.

Snow remaining on the tops of Ben Cruachan - a moderately long exposure at the head of Loch Etive at optimum sunset.

 

It makes a not bad black&white too :)

Beautiful diffuse warm light: early morning golden hour, visibility so low all but one lone dead tree and its former branch were obscured in the fog.

Blog: something a little different

Water, rocks and trees: these are a few of my favourite things.

 

The river runs for a few miles out of Wester Camghouran into the Rannoch Forest uplands; the gorge accompanies the path for an impressively long stretch of waterfalls and cascades.

A more artistic take on the well-known composition at Bow Fiddle rock - blurry and cool blue-green tonality.

The Arrochar Alps across Loch Lomond, from Inversnaid.

 

That leading line of submerged boulders was just too tempting...
