Rather than trees I am going for boats that have seen better days, it could have been churches and castles, perhaps next time.

The North Yorkshire coast and the slowly rusting Admiral Von Tromp
Three fishing boats on Mull
Glen Bruar is a small glen in Highland Scotland. It is particularly easy to photograph because it has good paths through it and beautiful stone bridges. Glen Bruar is owned by the Atholl Estates but this is Scotland and land may be owned by very rich individuals or companies but people have the...
More images from my Scotland trip late last month. Aberfeldy again, the burn bounces down in a series of cascades. There is a large waterfall about 1 mile upstream but, without ropes and abseiling down, you only catch a glimpse of it through the trees so I didn't walk up and see it but stuck to...
From 10th Nov 2023
From 25th November 2023. Last year the Autumn colours lasted much longer than usual. I don't know why I didn't bother to process this at the time.
I didn't process this image at the time because I had used a polariser and the sky had the usual uneven tones. This is the...
We have had about a fortnight's worth of low cloud and mist with very light winds and almost no visibility. This Thursday looked as though it could be better with a chance that the weather would change. So up at 06:00 for an hours drive to the Lake district. Unpromising start with visibility...
When in Scotland 2 weeks ago I took advantage of the windless days to take lots of images with the Autumn foliage reflected in the Lochs. Looking closely I have found that the reflections on their own make interesting images. Comments. Ken
Changing colour balance to an unnaturally cold setting
From the first evening of my Scotland trip. The Birks of Aberfeldy. Birks old Scottish word for Birch trees. The Birch trees are mostly gone replaced by beech trees, therefore the glorious carpet of still crisp and colourful leaves. I am still processing the 150Gb of files that I brought back...
Loch Tummel is the next Loch up from Loch Faskally about 10 miles on a typically narrow twisting road. The light was flat but this allowed the detail in the trees to stand out. Ken
Looking at the above I noticed what initially looks like a better crop, Comments?
Fully polarising the...
The first image is Castle Menzies, Glen Lyon, Perthshire, a 16thC castle recently restored. The rest are situated around Loch Tummel in Perthshire. They were probably built as family homes but they may just have been shooting lodges. I think that they are now Hotels although I am not sure, they...
Trying to predict the best time to travel to take Autumn foliage at peak colour is difficult. Leave it too late and you are left with bare branches, too early and you have lots of green. This year was perfect in some locations and too late in others but overall I had a wonderful time especially...
I have just looked through my entire lightroom catalogue and I have never taken an image on Oct 31st. As close as I can get, My wife from Wednesday (30th) at the Hermitage in Perthshire. Ken
These are just quick processing attempts on my laptop. No mouse just the trackpad. We have been here for 2 days and definitely got lucky with the weather and the colours are stunning for Scotland.
I will probably reprocess these images when I get home, good monitor and a mouse. Ken
Typical...
Firstly it is stunning and I am awestruck. However, the light in the sky at its lowest point is distracting me although I realise that it is probably realistic. 1. Colour is different 2. Just too bright. The cloud is ok just the sky around it. Lastly the milky way looks both wonderful and...
Thank you for the comments. The first 2 images do not have any sunshine although it was bright overcast with some directional light but very diffuse as it was filtered through high altitude clouds. The last image of the forest floor has some weak sunshine through a thin veil of high altitude...
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
