In this year I returned to shooting more grand landscapes and less waterfalls
#1 Dunstanburgh Castle. My wife was visiting a friend near this location so I tagged along just for the walk along the coast plus buying some Craster Kippers. The light and sea swell were an added bonus.
#2 Luskentyre, Isle of Harris. This is a bucket list shot and it was great to get calm warm weather
#3 Callanish Neolithic Standing Stones. The only wet, windy and cloudy day of our trip to the Outer Hebrides and this added some mood and atmosphere to the stones
#4 Mangersta Sea Stacks another bucket list location, I would have liked some swell and may have to return but swell and a decent sunset may be aiming too high
#5 Dolgoch Falls, Wales. I was staying with my daughter in Manchester and a wet and windy day seemed like an ideal opportunity to revisit this waterfall with higher water flow. I may return next Autumn
#6 Elgol, Isle of Skye. I have visited this location many times and have always had sunshine and calm seas and have always wanted some wild weather. This was almost there.
#7 Polney Loch, Perthshire
This was just a scouting trip to see how the Autumn colours were progressing. I stood here for more than an hour as the sunlight crept down the hillside and I waited for it to finally reach the main trees but thick mist blotted out the light before this happened. I still like the soft and gentle image
#8 River Garry at Killiecrankie, Perthshire. Taken later the same morning as the Polney Loch image. Deep in a ravine with very low light levels which allows the backlit beech leaves to shine
#9 Glencoe I have taken this image multiple times and have still to get it right. It is a multi shot stitch at 16mm and is difficult to reach and to get into position without risking a dip into the river. I have now got a 12mm lens which will make this far easier and should allow me to get better compositions from here.
#10 Derwentwater with mist. A wonderful morning for photography with the mist coming and going. I have lost count of the number of times that I have taken images at this location but every time it is different and that is what keeps me coming back.
