A rework of “Where Two Roads meet”
Crammond Brig (old Scottish for bridge), where the original 15th-century bridge once stood and served as the original coach house for coaches and travellers heading south into Edinburgh. The Brig had immortality bestowed upon it by Sir Walter Scott with his description of how Jock Howieson rescued the disguised King James V from a fight and received lands around Braehead for service to his monarch. The bridge has been replaced by a modern steel and concrete one a little further up the river. Now it forms part of a very pleasant river walk.

The river below the Falls of Measach (may-as-ach) at the foot of Carn Breac Beag (carn bre-uchk bayk) from the A832 on the way to join the main road for Ullapool. / It is almost impossible to capture the feel and character of this amazing part of Scotland by camera … you really have to be there!
Randolph’s Leap is a narrow gorge where the River Findhorn flows through at some rate of knots. Always spectacular to photograph whatever time of year but especially after the heavy rains. / Here is a major pinch point in the river where it is channeled through a deep but narrow gap in the granite. The force of the water here is amazing.
A long exposure image taken on the River Divie in Moray, Scotland. / Phosphorus trails always catch my eye and here produced some nice contrasts within the reflections in the water as it passes peacefully around the lone rock.
From the same shoot as ‘Pink Dawn’ and again looking over the River Lossie towards the dunes and the bridge leading to the East Beach. The sun was up by now and the pinks had changed to oranges. This is in Lossiemouth, Moray Scotland.

Now you mignt think that this image features that most famous of American landmarks, monument valley,...but you would be wrong….this image was in fact shot in th NW of Scotland on the Isle of Skye. It was shot in winter with this Loch frozen over with ice. The location was inland away from the normal tourist routes that you would normally take. You climb to a vantage point that gives a great view of the Island and mainland beyond. I love to divert of the beaten track onto B roads and dirt tracks because it is along these routes that you come across scenes such as this. Indeed yesterday I was in down, or is it up, ( look at the map from Glasgow ) in Cambletown, in the west of Scotland, and I took this B road and ended up travelling along a loch that I had never been along before. ( The fact that the rain was driving horizontally into my camera is another matter ). But as I have said before , I love the wild conditions that only Scotland can provide…...

This image of Glencoe was shot near the bottom of the Glen looking back up towards Glencoe and Rannoch Moor beyond.

Taken on a rather wintry day with the rain clouds on the right hovering over the mountain. Canon EOS 400D. Ap mode. 18-80mm. Polariser filter. CS3 to complete.
Shot in the early hours of morning when the sun is just breaking through from the horizon. A few moments later this scene returned to darkness and greyness.

A second image taken from my morning dawn shoot. Early rise to shoot some river shots after the haevy rain last weekend and I end up shooting a series of wonderful dawn shots instead. Cant be bad…. HDR 3 Exp Image. Canon EOS 400D. 18-80mm. AP mode. / Photomatix and CS3 to complete.

......taken in the Fenwick Moors area of Lanarkshire. This late eve shot was part of a delayed time exposure I shot over 1 hour in total. Would have been longer if the battery had’nt died on me. / My new Nikon has some great new features one of which is this ’ time exposure’ where you can set the camera to record the same image numerious times over a set period of time. / I had been inching to try it out and this image is a single exposure from that sequence. Merge them in Powerpoint or any other slide application and it gives the impression of movement through time, especially if you have clouds moving in the sky. / Next up is recording the stars in the sky….I have seen it done by others but its something I have never tried myself. Should be interesting….. Nikon D5000. 18-55mm. Delayed Time Exsposure on AP mode with polariser. CS3 to complete.
This location can be found on the road to Mallaig in the far NW of Scotland. / This area is known as the ’ White Sands of Morar’ simply because of the white sandy beaches that can be seen along this coastline. / Its a great scenic area, what with the steam railway line on one side and Morar and Mallaig as well as Glenfinnan all in this one coastal route. Canon EOS 400D. 18-80mm. AP mode with polariser. CS3 to complete.
Urquhart castle is located on the banks of Loch Ness, home of the Loch Ness Monster, in Inverness, Highland region of Scotland. The weather can change so quickly here that when you get a bit of sunshine you dont waste any time in getting your shot. This rainbow appeared in the distance for only a few seconds so time was uppermost. I was standing next to another photographer who had this massive telephoto fitted to his camera. ......bet he wish he had a wide angle fitted just then I said to myself…...lol.. Nikon D5000. 18-55mm.
