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.

Loch Lomond, Winter 2006

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.

A rock’s eye view of the loch of lowes – I think this has a certain messy charm compared with the more pristine perfection of ‘loch of the lowes’ or ‘LoL’ Let me know what you think – comments and tips most welcome Loch of the Lowes lies in the beautiful scottish borders between Moffat and Selkirk. It flows into nearby St Mary’s loch (with its thriving sailing club) past old Tibbieshiels inn, hostelry and overnight stop for walkers on the southern upland way crossing Scotland. Overlooking the north end of the loch is a monument to James Hogg – the Scottish Poet known as the Etterick Shepherd, friend and contemporary of Sir Walter Scott. Taken 4/3/08 (untouched) with a pocket fuji finepix A500 (there is a 2nd loch of the lowes further north in Perthshire, complete with osprey viewing centre – but you can see the wonderful fish eagle hunting here too if you are lucky!) loch of the lowes’ : ‘LoL’ : / ‘i am a rock’ : /

This was taken on my first trip to Skye. I had camped out overnight, in order to make the most of the morning light. I had been down to the beach the previous evening in order to find locations, but as I was walking along the shore I saw the roundish rock glinting in the sun. I couldn’t resist stopping to make an image. I took a few shots and moved on – and am happy that I got the photo I wanted. Canon Eos 5D http://lewisgolbourn.redbubble.com/

A view across Loch Scavaig to the Cuillin Mountains in Skye. Canon Eos5D with a 1.2 ND and a grad, probably a 0.9. ISO 50 over a fairly long time to smooth the water over. http://lewisgolbourn.redbubble.com/

Oil, 60×60cm. / ‘The Bass Rock is the closest sea bird sanctuary to the Scottish mainland and was the first to be studied by ornithologists during the 19th century, when they gave the Gannet the scientific name Sula Bassana, incorporating the name of this rocky stack. This colony is the largest on the east coast of Britain and holds approximately 10% of the world population of North Atlantic Gannets’.

like wooden tops / twisting this way and that a revolt / trouble afoot at the black ice rodeo take your partners / and spin spin spin a waltz / as if your last the break of news / at sleeping rock a swirl / he saw everything —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Elie, Fife, Scotland Copyright © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk

Another one from my recent trip to Skye. It took me a while to process this one, but I’m glad I spent the time doing it. Taken on the beach at Elgol on the same day as the other similar one I posted. Different composition, same idea – I wanted to get a horizontal shot as I very rarely take them. I was drawn to this particular spot by the different coloured rocks, and the big rock in the bottom left corner which leads you round the edge of the water and back into the mountains again. Canon Eos 5D, 24mm TS-E at f22, ISO 100 for 8 seconds with a 1.2 ND and 0.6 ND grad

Death-like sparks burn cold and hard / A symphony of sea salt soldiers / Shaping their invasion on awaiting land Leaping from splashes / Grasping for oxygen / A rush to do battle come the day, come the time Roaring to shore in spectacular voice / To crush the life from a million weeping pebbles / As they pray for forgiveness / Down on bended knee / Begging for second chances And all the while / Eyes peer from deep forbidden sea / For a slender gaze at the battle afoot / Gossiping like fishwives over sips of milky tea / As they twitch through heavy net curtains / And tut tut tut at the youth of today Then scuttle away / Chasing the tails of those who fled first / As the wounded and fallen lay still behind Time to draw a new breath whilst plans are redrawn / And commence another charge toward the quivering shore —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Auchmithie, Angus, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk

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

conforming lines and scribbles / graffiti the shifting sky / as avalanches of calm descend / on the common day a traveller awaits / entry to the balloting portal / holding ballet dance poses / on most eager tiptoes as lab tests and case studies / spill from well travelled pockets / and withered surroundings are pierced / with fierce note jotting eyes now uniformed bodies are wrapping / themselves in creaky old tin foil / and surging to the deadline / past broken sound barriers what lessons were learned / from the curious race / remain locked in the thoughts / of this soon to depart traveller but as the portal splits open / they will do well to conclude / that this black and white world / was meant for you and me —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Auchmithie, Angus, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk

The beautiful Isle of Skye. / Typical Scottish Highland weather, bursts of sunlight, lasting for three minutes if you are lucky, between heavy showers that soak you to the skin, lasting around five hours. Or more. LOL ! / You don’t have to be mad to live here, but it helps, as the saying goes ! A magic place all the same ! / Have you ever tried to set up a tripod where the heather and bog myrtle grow in abundance, teetering on the brink of a raging burn? (Burn = river) It ain’t easy ! / It causes you endless grief, for one thing, the blasted tripod wobbles around, and it disturbs those dear wee midges, which bite you to the brink of insanity, then you have a wee puppy craving attention threatening to knock the tripod/camera/you into the burn, and I can’t swim either. / Combined with Family members watching your attempts and laughing then getting bored, it is a small wonder that any images get produced at all. Professional ?? Ha Ha Ha Ha !! / Hysterical laughter ! Shot on my CANON EOS 40D, mounted, sort of, on my tripod, polarising filter, f22, 1/4 sec, 17-85mm IS Canon lens, at 22mm, iso100, auto wb, three shot RAW files processed in Photomatix, then fiddled around with in PS CS3, with some more selective tone mapping applied.

twenty seven years on this ungodly earth / ending, sat down by the river / absorbing the small sips now taking their berth / on the tasting buds, keen to deliver the living in trees are now passing to ground / and winter stands waiting in line / and the stream trickles on, in knowledge it’s bound / for pitlochry, til barrels entwine an edradour malt slides faint troubles and fears / away, ships past stormy seas / so here I raise a glass to the twenty eighth year / may it flow as the river decrees —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk
