More images from last weeks photo shoot.

Two pictures from a recent shoot with Lisa and Michael.

Day 4 continued…

We arrived at Neist point mid afternoon which allowed plenty of time for me to walk down the multitude of stairs and follow the path to the lighthouse.  I spent some time around the lighthouse trying to get soime decent shots of all the birds that continously flew past.  On the way back I had to climb up the 240 feet of stairs to get back up to the car park.

Cameron has once again provided a video of our days activities from the view towards the old man of Storr, The Quiraing, Staffin Bay and finally the view from the cliffs looking down towards Neist Point.

We were very lucky with the sunset as the lack of clouds made the conditions perfect for the last rays of the setting sun to light up the cliffs of An t-Aigeach and the lighthouse as well.

A picture from a couple of days ago.  We went for a walk around the ‘Rig of the Jarkness’ which is a ridge up in the hills above Glentrool.  There wasn’t much to show from the walk, photographically speaking, apart from this panorama looking down Glen Trool towards Loch Trool.

Another shot from Sundays sunset at Portencross.  This is the landscape format version of the previous image.  I think I now prefer this one to the portrait version.

Todays archive post is from 2007.  Just after sunrise at Knapps Loch, the mist was slowly rising into the calm dawn light as I captured these three boats perfectly placed.

A sunset taken from the North Shore, Ardrossan.  I am lucky to be only about 3 miles from here, so if the sunset is looking as if it would be good, I can get out for an hour or so to capture it.  In the distance is the Isle of Arran.

The first post of a series of older pictures.  This image is the one that rekindled my interest in photography.  I only had my DSLR for 1 week when I took this, and was awestruck by the beauty of the place.  It was an effort to remember to press the shutter button and capture it.  This is Loch Arklet with Beinn Narnain, Ben Vane and Ben Vorlich in the background. They are commonly known as the Arrochar Alps.

I woke this morning to a nice covering of snow.  We haven’t really had as much as the south of England, but there was still a decent snowfall.  I managed to get out first thing in search of a nice snowy landscape shot.  I didn’t really have much luck until I found this lane and tree.  Luckily the sun peeped through the clouds just long enough to cast some shadows on the snowy ground.

Two shots of the same location with slightly different processing.  The first has a more dreamy feel compared to the sharpness of the second one.
