Tried to recreate the iconic image

Pete Rowbottom's LPOTY winner has remained etched in my mind since I first saw it. Now, whenever I go via Glencoe I pop to this spot to see if I can get anything half as good. Yesterday it was -7 deg C in Fort William, but I watched the temperature rising as I neared Glen Etive, dashing my hopes of frozen waterfalls. But instead of sinking into the usual six inches of dark squelchy mud on arrival I found everything frozen hard. I might have stayed longer, and tried different things to get a better result. But I needed to be in Edinburgh on time. The sky was disappointingly bright and sunny. I will try again, next time.

Try as it might, the sun had a real effort on its hands attempting to show itself through the fluffy clouds. I just luv these type of skies, as they create such depth.

A play around with the settings, gave me the time I needed to get some foreground water movement. The small lighthouse at Roker"s curved pier is backlit by the sunrise colours.

Amazed I managed to get anything as every time I set up, down came the rain.

almost got the focus of this gull in flight...

Not sure if this is a young bird or if it's going through a seasonal change

Tried a get a shot of the second big snow of this year, but I kind of missed the high point with the big flakes.

I found this little corner in the park - looked a bit like a fairy tale.

Trying out a new soft ND grad filter from SRB Photographic. Love it!

Tried to catch a snake on a gorgon's head...

Trying to find a unique take on this well photographed subject.

Trying my hand at a still life.

Trying something new... but I will post "normal" photos again as well!

lovely brook (Conglass Water) running through Scottish meadows within the Cairngorms National Park. The fence obviously runs alongside the meandering brook but from this perspective it looks like it is actually fencing it.

Happy Fence Friday everyone!

I just started testing and playing around with my recently acquired Zeiss Batis 85 Lens. This is one of the first Shots, no Sun, just out of Cam. The Bokeh seems to me OK, the Sharpness as Zeiss provides. A Fun Lens, more to come.....

Trying to find my way out of this summer heat!

HGGT !

tried to reach the tallest waterfall in Iceland for Sunset, but the waterfall was to far, with wading across streams and another hour of mountain walking so turned back and wished to find an old hut on my way back to the car and found this instead
