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.
Up at Glen Affric, really early, watching the sun slowly rise, illuminating trees at different distances through the mist. The best way to spend a morning.
Orange sky and grey clouds reflected in Loch Rannoch with just a few ripples. Taken early one morning (about 5.14am) looking up towards Schiehallion just visible at the far end of the loch.
Looking down the gorge from the lower bridge, Falls of Bruar . I’m particularly impressed by the colours and the smooth glistening rocks. This area is rich in geology (an extension of the Loch Tay fault?): there’s a lot of limestone and other metamorphic sedimentary rocks (layered slate, possibly some schist) and a bit of red sandstone nearby, all folded making rakish angles. Taken on the Shen Hao 5×4” large-format camera with Fuji Velvia (old RVP emulsion) film.

I love how overgrown this main entrance to the stately home has become, with grass and moss completely taking over the steps and starting to take hold on the ornate stonework around the door.

Because it was a little blue thing in a sea loch of vibrant reflections. Yes, the colours are pretty realistic. See this panorama for context. Taken on a Sunday afternoon drive from Troon to Inverary .

Collaboration with dinghysailor1 / A collaboration with my great RB friend, the talented Photographic Artist dinghysailor1. I had discussed the possibility of working together to make a few images and Maggie was very keen. She went out and took a handful of superb shots of very historic landmarks in Scotland, based on a list of subject matter I was interested in using for a photo-manipulation – things that sparked my imagination. Then I lost my editing program, and as a consequence, a lot of my motivation to create anything. But I got a replacement program recently, and just finished this artwork today. I’m very pleased to have her as an RB friend and it’s great to work together ! :)) Here is Maggie’s Original Photograph / To view Maggie’s excellent Portfolio visit dinghysailor1 Here’s a photograph I took of the moon recently and used in this Artwork / Featured in the AW Welcome Center on Sunday 23/8/2009 / Thank you to all the Moderators for the feature !

Skye, Hebrides, Scotland / / The Tertiary Colours of a Sad Morning. Bloody minded and cruel, illness and mad laughter that has crazily crossed through the blue wood smoke air of what will kill us. Desperate but depressed to be happy in the mornings. If I am not that person to others then at least I must feel free to free myself. The feel of the season evokes the extraordinary. The dripping pieces of yellow blood red from dead webs. The month blood of trees white and supped sap dry. Haw, Green, Bull, Gold, finches all, chase their own particular seed heads. Making the notion of a holy watchmaker less than happy. A life less extraordinary and under used would be nice they say. Not counting on if I disagree or not. In fact because I am here only for them, ignoring it pleasantly. Teach, they say, work at my universal, you see, notion of employment. They conclude this precise commentary, with certain violent force. You will never do what I want you to do creating pieces on your own in your little sheltered harbour of unthinking happiness. Does this wood peg fit in this hole? Does this shiny steel technology work for you? So then why create your own programme of states? Is it more natural? Why live in a Victorian age of brass piped steam and Science Fiction when this minimal reflecting body works so much cleaner? In the morning depression drips like the musty misty pearls of dead water catching on the sleeping leaves. The dumb edges are rubbed smooth in the sleeping matt mist season and the colours provoke smoky fires in the distance. It is important to have their illusions of adequacy for now and relate only to what they have been shown, in the season, for this reason. Dig, root, smell, loam and fungi, such are the names of the hours and the days. Work for others, think up, not down and be careful not allow thoughts the professionals would not like. Mention not your stories, for they are boring and not what we want. No, you cannot paint. Imagine if you are unsuccessful. Calling you by your first full tutonic name as in some pathetic, patronising game of cures. Understand underestimating. they say, charmingly, and why I am talking down to you. Whilst you must talk and work up some kind of accepted rhythm of the season. No, of course, they say, there is no stigma attached to this season. It is only a lack of the colours you have in your box. We now understand what this lack means for us. So there is no need to feel your guilt gods in the morning when the leaves leave a tea stain of rainbows in the little black puddles saved from the rain, together in the tyre tracks that go away. With a sun dog swaying in the sky. © 2009 Ken Simm.
