Ben Lomond light. Sometimes a single point of light can make an image.

#throughmyeyes #benlomond #landscape #mountains #scotland #nikonzf
Brief light above Ben Lomond was enough for me to take this image.

Managed to get out with the camera for an hour at the weekend so went to @uofglasgow.bsky.social cloisters to shoot the festive lights used. I was a little surprised only 25% of them were switched on. I thought this colour image works well for #sharemondays2025

#throughmyeyes #glasgow #nikonzf
Colour image of the University of Glasgow cloisters shot in very low light but the noisy image helps bring out texture and light.

Another imrom the weekend and some well broken cloud lead to some isolatyed pockets of light, conditions I love to record as they have great potential. The view to the Trossachs with that dusting of snow.

Winters kiss. I was away at a funeral yesterday so no post from me. The tops of the mountains have had a dusting of snow for about a week now and the forecast today is for the first burst of winter snow showeres so here an image from last Saturday.

The second of this months Highly Commended awards for me from the BPA and it's a mono image that was processed to showcase the low sunlight. I felt the coloured version, with strong greens didn't work well so went mono and it seems the judges approved of my choice

Dumgoyne in low light and processed in mono was awarded a Highly Commended status this month by the BPA

Dumbarton Rock. This fort has been continuously occupied since at least the 5th century AD because of its strategic position on the Clyde estuary.

After weeks of rain and low cloud, we had a couple of hours with some small breaks in the clouds so I managed to travel to the Carse of Stirling with the camera, my first shoot in weeks.

Spin drift. Another winter image of Ben Lomond and this one was a brutal one in strong wind and snow showers that kicked off this spindrift on the flank of the Ben.

Ben Lomond light. We've just experienced our first frost of the season so a suitably cold image of the Ben seemed appropriate.

We had a lot of rain over a couple of days the other week so a trip to my local waterfall happened and it never fails to impress me.
