Sunrise this morning at Bowfiddle Rock, Portknockie. Getting out my bed at 1.30am for the 2 hr drive and 4.16am sunrise, I wondered if it would be worth it. I think it was!
The sun rises inside the arch of Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie. Some pre planning and luck with the weather helped when photographing this sunrise.
Visited the much photographed Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie only a few hours ago. Surprisingly its only half an hour in the car from my house. With the weather being good and fast moving clouds, I was hoping for some sunset tones and some blurry skies. Also a good excuse for me to try out my new Hi-Tech 10 stop ND filter that Iv had in my kit bag for a few weeks now but no time to test it. I think i'm going to enjoy the 10 stop :-) This was taken 1 1/4 hour before sunset with the moon rising to the right of the camera. All my phone / photography apps paid off with me calculating sun, moon angles and elevation and tide prior to arriving. I used my tiny kit lens for this shot, havent used it in a while but was surprised by how it performed. First time I have used bulb and an ND calculation app for a landscape.

Silversands Beach at Lossiemouth Moray. A fitting yet ironic title when this serene scene includes wartime relics, with a row of tank traps and a pill box on the right hand of the shot all of which are being withered away by nature. A nice view of Covesea Skerries lighthouse with an almost tangerine sky.
A pre sunrise long exposure taken May 2016 at the Iconic Bow Fiddle Rock. An uplifting magical moment
First stop on today's jaunt along some of the Moray Firth coast with Steve (Stoates) was at Bow Fiddle Rock near Portknockie.
The cloud cover was changing all the time but not enough to give us one of those spectacular sunrises I always hope for, so we had to settle for something more subtle.

Tank traps at Lossiemouth Stotfield (West Beach) a reminder of turbulent times. This was a long exposure using my kit lens. I used the kit lens as it gave me the best angle of view for the subject. I saw these concrete blocks and knew I would have to photograph them with the intention of capturing some silky movement around the bases. I used Cokin ND filters to help me take the longer exposure. Taken at sunset
Whilst visiting Bow Fiddle Rock last week with a friend from work, I met a tourist photographer, we started talking about editing programmes and silver efex pro came up as topic of discussion. I havent used it in ages. So this morning I fired up silver efex and enjoyed doing something different. A good cuppa and an enjoyable sunday morning editing session.

An early drop-off at Inverness airport presented the opportunity of disturbing Steve's beauty sleep for a nearby sunrise photo shoot.
Covesea lighthouse near Lossiemouth was within reach given the time available. My first shots before 7am were from the rocky shoreline offering scattered reflections in the pools left by the receding tide.
The three kings sea stacks on Cullen Bay are impressive landmarks. Conditions this evening were good for some long exposure work focusing on the 3rd King with some fast moving clouds and ebbing tides.
More from an evening trip last month to explore the coast around the Hopeman/Lossiemouth area.
I was going to call this shot 'Jaws' but it seemed a bit cheesy :-)
The final stop on our trip out east (rather surprisingly suggested by Steve) was at the Troup Head RSPB nature reserve.
The idea was for me to test my new lens, but Steve was more than keen to test one of his old lenses and for someone who "doesn't do wildlife" he seemed to quite enjoy himself.

Another shot from my early morning at Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie last month. Photographing this sunrise inside the arch was an experience never to be forgotten. The sky was amazing.... In this shot the sun had just popped above the horizon but with most of the pre sunrise colour still remaining in the sky.
Long exposure shot of the sea arch in the rock formation known as Bow Fiddle Rock. So called as the shape resembles the tip of a fiddle. The natural structure can be found near Portnockie on the NE coast of Scotland.
The Stunning Architecture Of THUNDERTON HOUSE In THUNDERTON PLACE, ELGIN, MORAYSHIRE, SCOTLAND.
Dating from the 14th Century, significantly rebuilt in 1650 it was once the principal house in the town for visiting monarchs. More recently an 18th - century coaching inn of the same name is said to have been a hiding place for Bonnie Prince Charlie before the Battle of CULLODEN IN 1746.
Now the Historical building is a busy cosy Gastropub 'The Thunderton House'
Morven (Scottish Gaelic: A' Mhòr Bheinn) is a mountain in Caithness, in the Highland Region of Scotland.[1] The hill is classed as a Graham and, at 706 metres, its summit is the highest point in the county of Caithness.
Caithness is generally quite low lying. Morven's relative height and conical appearance makes it a prominent feature of the landscape as seen from many different places in the county. It is among the most prominent of the mountains that can be seen across the Moray Firth from the area surrounding Buckie on clear days. Indeed, a street in the seaside village of Findochty is named Morven Crescent due to its view of the mountain Morven. Buckpool Golf Club's 5th hole is named Morven and Morven View is a not uncommon house name for properties in the Buckie area with a view over the Moray Firth.
The 44 multi-coloured 10ft x 13ft wooden structures on Hopeman beach in Moray, have been popular summer homes for over a century.
Cullen beach busy today as the temperature on the North East Coast of Scotland reached at least 9 degrees today.

A bicycle propped on the edge of the dunes and the famous multi colour beach huts at Findhorn Bay, a nice day to be by the sea.
Another long exposure shot of the sea arch in the rock formation known as Bow Fiddle Rock. So called as the shape resembles the tip of a fiddle. The natural structure can be found near Portnockie on the NE coast of Scotland. There is a wee boat moored just to the right hand side of the bow rock shape.
The usual story - a big bank of cloud in the west swallowed the sun before the sunset developed, but there was some colour on the higher cloud for a short while.
Taken at the end of a day out with David (Highlandfisky).
