This was taken on Boxing day a few years ago. Oddly, I was the only person there 😉

As storm Amy approaches us in Scotland, an altogether quieter sunrise image from last week with a strong belt of venus over the Trossachs and an air temp of 2C confirming autumn was, indeed, on the way.

It's amazing how the brain is wired to see forms and shapes. When I finished processing this image from Loch Lomond, I immediately saw the form of a gaping Alligator.

The arrival of Autumn also signals the peak in fungi in Scotland. I'm hoping to get to use the macro lens in the coming weeks on this sort of subject.

Aberfoyle Autumn colours. I'm seeing its being reported that in the UK, it is thought that due to the hot dry summer, the leaves will be particularly colourful this autumn. Here's hoping they are right.

It's Autumn equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere and here's a suitably feeling award winning image of mine that reflects the move into the dark half of the year.

This is a single image at 24mm, iso 800. I do landscape panoramas handheld with the nikon ZF coupled with a VR lens and it means you can really slow the shutter down. I've not done an interior yet that needs a stitch but I am confident my equipment could work very well.

They are and can be surprisingly difficult to process in an image sometimes 🙂
