From 2010 but reprocessed this week. Ken

I have posted a version of this image about 18 months ago but I have been working on perspective corrections recently and decided to have a go at this church. Despite appearances this is a modern church, finished in 1930's, and is a pastiche of architectural styles. I have deliberately produced...

Wednesday's forecast looked very promising. Fog, frost no wind so up early to drive down to Elterwater in the Lake District as it should be good in these conditions. The reality was some fog, no frost and very light winds but for the most part the light was very flat. Half an hour before dawn...

I had always wanted to visit this location with a strong Northerly wind blowing at high tide. 1st January and a 50+mph wind blowing with 10ft+ waves predicted and I arrived 1hr before high tide. This cove faces North with the next stop the Arctic ice cap it is surrounded by 100ft cliffs and the...

I have just returned from the North of Scotland to what was supposed to be heavy snow but as it turned out we only had a few inches. Out today for a walk, the light was very flat, with luck tomorrow should be better. Ken

For the first time in many years no waterfalls and what looks a lot like street photography. Ken #1 3rd January and my usual trip to the North Coast of Scotland. This was a better trip than usual as the tide was high and the waves were smashing in but rather confused instead of my always hoped...

I hope that you and your families have a happy and healthy Christmas. It is Christmas morning here, no chance of snow with the temperature at 50F+. A local image from colder times. Ken

This is the last of my Perthshire images. Ken

A quick trip to buy some furniture on Monday but stopped by the coast as the weather looked promising. The wind at about 20mph onshore and have just recovered from a storm over the weekend with winds gusting over 90mph so the sea should be disturbed. I arrived about an hour after high tide so...

I produced the images for a friendly photo club competition no real rules just 3 mono images on a common theme. I don't usually enter themed competitions as going out just to produce a certain type of image is something that I can't do. However this time I just trawled through my back...

A Cathar castle in SW France. The Castles were originally built to defend the border between France and Spain but are now about 100miles inside France. The Castles and the Cathars have a bloody history of religious intolerance. Ken I tried to get closer but the fog shut the scene down before I...

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...

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

I have just finished processing my images from my Scotland trip. 60 images that are worth keeping. Ken

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...

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...
