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.

by John NelsonPart of my 20 images that changed my portfolio set. In this picture I was drawn to the spaces in the walls. I could not explain why or anything except that when I stood inside the broch and looked up I was humbled by the immense structure which encircled me and my eyes were drawn across to the 16 spaces in the frame. I hope you like it too. / Built in the Iron Age period this is Mousa Broch which stands alone on the small uninhabited island of Mousa in the Shetland Islands, Britains most northerly area. This is the best preserved broch in Europe and stands a full 13 metres tall. Awe inspiring history we can touch.

The ancient stone circle at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in The Outer Hebrides is over 4,000 years old and one of the oldest such structures in the world. Though smaller than Stonehenge it is considerably older and is awe-inspiring to visit. Normally seen in sunshine, here we have a photograph taken beneath an umbrella as a storm passsed overhead giving this magical place an altogether unworldly quality.

A tranquil scene at beautiful St Mary’s Loch in scottish borders on 27/4/08. The loch is three miles long by half a mile wide, set in spectacular surroundings in the middle of the Southern Uplands about 50 miles south of Edinburgh. To preserve the peace and tranquility, only sailing boats use it, apart from the a few small fishing craft and the club rescue boats. / / It is much bigger and deeper than the nearby loch of the lowes and the bottom drops away suddenly to great depths within yards of the shore.

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/

As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands. Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries. Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932

Canon EOS 30D This simple scene was taken at small crook in the River Findhorn at Ardclach in the Highlands of Scotland. It is here the river sweeps around a small church and graveyard in a tiny lowland area. So low, in fact, they built the bell tower on top of a neighbouring hill so that the sound could escape over the adjacent wards. The river is nearly always fast-flowing and can be very spectacular at flood. The way the waters interact with the shores and the odd defiant boulder has always fascinated me. I could watch for hours as the torrents ebb and flow over the granite hurdles with that wonderful, soothing sound that flowing water makes. I decided that a series of Black & White images of different intimate river scenes would be perfect for a study. The different types of stone that you find beside or in the river can be stunning with each having their own charactistics are remarkable in themselves. Put them with a fast flowing river taken at a long-ish exposure, the textures and contrasts that can be produced are an excellent subject for a monochrome project. In this one, the granite boulder in the foreground has been smoothed and honed over, what must be, centuries of erosion and has produced wonderful textures and patterns within it.

Lt. General Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Designed by William Adam, Scotland’s best architect. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today’s terms, over £1m. ”... a freestone bridge over the Tay, of five arches, nearly 400ft. in length, the middle arch 60 feet wide, the starlings of oak and the piers and landbreasts founded on piles shod with iron….” (House of Commons Journal, 7th February 1734). The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. Wade’s Bridge is a Category A listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 20861) under the care of Historic Scotland. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.

We took a walk over to Camasunary beach in some pretty murky weather ( the Isle of Skye usually has perfect weather of course, HA HA !) / Sitting down enjoying a flask of coffee, there was a brief glimpse of sun, giving me a great photographic opportunity, which I took advantage of very hurriedly ! I processed my single RAW file in Photomatix, (HDR) and did a few more tweaks in PS CS3. Shot on a Canon EOS 40D, with polariser, underexposed by one stop to retain the darkness of the sky, f22, mounted on a tripod of course ! lens was my kit lens, 18-55mm Canon, which I no longer use having upgraded !
