NEW WORK
| April - June 2010
Braemar, 15 June 2010 at 04:40 hours. I had been wanting to overnight on a mountain for some time - I had planned to walk the Grey Corries and Ben Nevis over three days, but weather put paid to that - and finally decided on Lochnagar. The evening was cloudy so no sunset, but waking early the next morning from a fairly comfortable night in a bivvy bag, the sky was a bit clearer. I walked up the nearby Meikle Pap and waited for the first light to paint the top of the corrie in an orange glow.  Super! Camera details: 10-20mm, 10.0 sec at f / 22

Perthshire, 11 June 2010 at 18:09 hours. A nice evening walk in June on the Tarmachan ridge. I approached from the north this time (I had walked up it in the winter with a thick covering of snow), so this was a view of it I had not seen before. Although there was a lot of cloud, the sun came out now and then. Camera details: EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, 1/180 sec at f / 8.0

Near Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 31 May 2010 at 14:59 hours. The river Garry runs through Blair Atholl and down into Loch Faskally by Pitlochry. Unfortunately, a hydro scheme further upstream diverts a lot of the water so the river is really a shadow of what it used to be, to the detriment of the salmon that run up the river each autumn. Camera details: 10-20mm, 3.2 sec at f / 22
Near Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 31 May 2010 at 14:38 hours. The distinctive spindly arms that effectively make up this plants leaves make for interesting abstracts. They are supposed to resemble a horses' tail - I don't see it myself. Camera details: EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, 1/4 sec at f / 5.6
Strathearn, Perthshire, 02 June 2010 at 20:00 hours. Driving along a quiet back-road one evening, I noticed a clearing in a pine wood that was carpeted with wood sorrel. The sun was just shining above the tree tops, creating long shadows and lighting up the plants beautifully. Camera details:, 4.0 sec at f / 22
Blair Atholl, Perthshire, 30 May 2010 at 17:22 hours. An interesting boulder on the hills above Blair Atholl. Camera details: 10-20mm, 1/15 sec at f / 22
