One of my first photos on the Shen Hao camera, taken round at Crail harbour in Fife. / I placed myself right on the water’s edge, looking down as the tide came in and superimposed 3 exposures on the one frame to give the effect of water lapping around the rocks like mist. I think the red rock is carboniferous sandstone.

Been in an artistic mood lately & when I am in that frame of mind I like to experiment with some of my photographs. This is another experiment, inspired by Bluefinart. /

Falkland is a village in Fife where Falkland Palace is. The houses, buildings, streets date from the 12 th Century. Falkland has been a royal place since the days of the Stewarts. King James II adopted it as a royal home (it had earlier been a castle of the MacDuff family) and it was used as a hunting lodge in the 12th century. In those days the Forest of Falkland had stags and wild boar and falconry was a popular sport. / All the villages in Scotland display flowers in baskets, barrows etc to earn the Best award for floral displays throughout the summer months. This shows a small passage with original cobbles ( for horses) from the olden days.

Just to the south of Dunfermline’s High Street lies one of Scotland’s most unusual churches. The Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland is two very distinct churches, joined in the middle. The effect is unexpected but attractive. The Abbey Church, as the name suggests, was the church serving Dunfermline Abbey. A church probably already existed on this site in 1070, when King Malcolm III married Queen Margaret. Margaret liked Dunfermline so much she set up a Benedictine foundation here. This was later transformed by her son King David I into what was intended to become the most important abbey in Scotland. Work was started in 1128 on the Abbey Church and the nave still survives as the western half of the building on view today. Dunfermline was renowned as the burial place of many Scottish Kings and Queens. The first was Queen Margaret (later St Margaret) in 1093, and the last Royal internment was Robert, the infant son of James VI and Anne of Denmark, in 1602. The most famous burial, and certainly most celebrated, was Robert the Bruce. He was buried in Dunfermline Abbey in 1329, minus his heart, which was taken in a lead casket on a posthumous visit to the Holy Land before being buried at Melrose Abbey. During the building of the new Abbey Church in 1819 bones believed to be those of Robert the Bruce, because of their position and because of a cut breastbone (to allow the removal of his heart), were discovered. Robert was reinterred in the centre of the new Abbey Church, 560 years after his death. His grave now lies under the magnificent pulpit covered by a large brass grave marker. And to celebrate his presence the words “KING ROBERT THE BRUCE” were formed with large stone lettering around the four sides of the crown of the tower. Subtle it isn’t, but striking it most certainly is. Famous Births, Marriages, & Burials / Saint Margaret of Scotland was buried here in 1093; on 19 June 1250 following her Canonization her remains were disinterred and placed in a reliquary at the high altar. Her husband, Malcolm III of Scotland remains were also disinterred, and buried next to Margaret. Both Duncan II of Scotland 1094, and his wife Ethelreda, were buried here Edgar of Scotland was buried here in 1107 Both Alexander I of Scotland 1124, and his queen Sybilla de Normandy 1122, were buried here David I of Scotland was buried here (1153) along with his queen Maud, Countess of Huntingdon (1130) Malcolm IV of Scotland was buried here in 1165 Alexander III of Scotland (1286), was buried here, with his first wife Margaret of England (1275) and their sons David of Scotland (1281) and Alexander of Scotland (1284) Elizabeth de Burgh, wife of Robert I of Scotland, was buried here in 1327 Robert the Bruce was buried, in 1329 Matilda of Scotland, daughter of Robert I of Scotland, was buried here in 1353 Anabella Drummond, wife of Robert III and mother of James I was buried here in 1401 Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany was buried here in 1420 Birthplace, in 1600, of Charles I, the last British monarch born in Scotland.

Subtle it isn’t, but striking it most certainly is. To the right of the shot is the gothic tower of Dunfermline City Chambers. This building was historically designed to be the centre of local government in Dunfermline. In more recent times most of these functions have been devolved to other locations, but [as of 2008] the impressive edifice still houses the Council Chambers, the Burgh Court and Dunfermline’s Registrar Office. The building, constructed in the period 1875-79, was created by James C Walker who also designed the first Carnegie Library. It employs a harmonious composite of French, Gothic and Scots baronial architectural styles and features a prominent four-face clock tower. It was constructed on the site of an older Town House of 1771 which was in its turn built to replace the 17th century Town House, demolished as part of 18th century improvements to make way for Bridge Street. The structure includes heraldic stones recovered from the demolished 1771 Town House. The finely designed interior of the City Chambers incorporates many notable features, in particular the oak hammer beam roof which provides the ceiling for the Council Chamber itself. The historic police cells, although no longer in use, have also been preserved. Furnishings include a number of notable artworks including busts of several Scottish sovereigns, a statue of Robert Burns, Sir Joseph Noel Paton’s painting, Spirit of Religion, and an early twentieth century portrait of King Malcolm and Queen Margaret.

So it goes / The journey ends, / Faint light on the water / A long lost friend On a tide fast deserting / Pointing us home, / To a past best forgotten / And a future unknown Let’s raise a glass to the darkness / And the light that descends, / Burn all the maps / And begin again —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Tentsmuir, Fife, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk

Click. At fifteen seventeen and thirty three seconds / On the eighteenth of April two thousand and nine Everything. / Just. / Stopped. For the briefest of moments / Clocks stopped ticking / Dogs stopped barking / Walkers stopped walking / Talkers stopped talking / And seas stopped rolling in Click.

Once upon a tide / at the milkiest point of the planet / lay the underwater city of Seafield / under statues of dullest gray granite / though the timing could never be certain / it all points to a good while ago / some say it’s myth and some say it’s truth / but time’s passed and we’ll never quite know There’s talk of a fisherman named Old Penny Brown / a man of contradictions and many few words / who kept himself to himself / and fed his fish to the birds / he sailed the high seas for days and days and days / searching for a place he knew couldn’t be found / and when he never returned / folk assumed he had drowned But what really occurred / before you start feeling pity / was his little boat crashed / into this great long lost city / oh heck! oh hell! / as he mopped up his brow / where on earth am I? / and what will I do now? He stepped out of his craft / trying to deal with the strain / and watched disbelieving / as water started to drain / quickly scrambling for safety / he started to pray / scratching his skull / whilst the sea fled away There were palaces and castles / sunken ships and treasure / fairgrounds, casinos / unimaginable pleasures / I’m sure i’ve not seen such a place in my life! / he marvelled and wondered how there could come to be / such a magical wonder / hidden under the sea Every ounce of his good sense / implored him to leave / it’s risky! it’s danger! / run! hide! retreat! / but the sea soon returned / and left him no choice / he became their new leader / it became his new voice Of course it all took its toll / and the city soon crumbled / Old Penny passed on / and the buildings all tumbled / yet if you look closely / and keep your eyes peeled / you might glimpse what remains / of the long lost Seafield —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Seafield, Kirkaldy, Fife, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk

in the wasteland short of wonder sits the man who would be king / of the highland and the lowland / and the land deemed inbetween / yet he ain’t no kind of human / he’s an island, he’s marine saying I am just an ocean, a scar amongst the land / I have brought shame upon a nation just for nickels / and begging hands / still they lead into temptation / still they disappear in sand and in a decomposing kingdom, shores of mercy grant me deeds / and I might see fit to spare them / if convincing in their pleads / by worldless action, paused reflection / hail in prayer the tide recedes nonetheless, amongst the mist, that might not be enough to save / the poor souls who insist / they charge the island by the waves / but they’ll surrender, they’ll surrender / and I will take them to their graves —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Dysart, Fife, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk

This was taken when I started experimenting with ND Filters. My first set of filters were Cokin filters and not knowing about the colour cast they gave off I merrily took photographs with them. This one I think kind of worked out with the colour actually enhancing the photograph. Have now moved on to the Lee Filter System – much better.

The small town of North Queensferry, Fife, Scotland nestles under the north end of the Forth Bridge, also known as the Forth Rail Bridge. Shot from the walkway on the adjacent Forth Road Bridge. The bridge is still in use today, carrying the railways to the north from Edinburgh. Along with the Forth Road Bridge (about half a mile to the west) these two bridges form the main traffic arteries north and south.
