Some nice pastels _DSC1357_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Some perfectly pleasant light _DSC1401_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Just before it got harsh _DSC1407_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr

Took my small format camera up to Rannoch Moor, Glencoe etc to see how it got on. Colour of Lochan na Stainge DSC_0006_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr B&W of Lochan na Stainge DSC_0007_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Tighter crop of the Lochan na Stainge angle DSC_0012_DxO by Stephen...

All 645z 28-45 With skies like this, reflections and light I took a lot for a variety of different crops and aspect ratio's _IMG2705_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG2713_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG2717_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG2721_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr...

After being chased off Lochan na h-Achlaise by the most merciless and unrelenting of midges I went to my most well worn of all tripod holes. The light was still quite nice and the reflections reasonable. _IMG1983 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG1988 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Then they...

A cliched location - where one expects flowing water. But what if there is none. Normally this section of the river dies up over the summer months. If you compose carefully you can get a refection of the tree. I couldn't, or daren't dangle a 645z almost on the water given the cost and size of...

_IMG1513 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG1510 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG1509 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Down the bottom end of the Glen. Really some grab and go ones these - taken on the way back from a sunset at Mallaig the next morning. I had a restive 4 hour nap in the off...

Not everyones cup of tea but I just love summer and the warm days. Not my best...but too good for the bin. The wee Buachaille - cropped and composed to hide my shadow _IMG1754 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Reflections where there should be falls... _IMG1765 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr...

Another series from Rannoch Moor taken in May. All with the 645z and 28-45 and 45-85 which can bring things that bit closer in _IMG1194 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG0729 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr

_IMG0960 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG1043 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Uploaded in aRGB so might look washed out in an browser that doesn't support the wider colour space.

This is a well known tripod hole of mine - little different with the 645z due to the 4:3 shape of the sensor and 28mm being as short as it goes - but still managed to fit it all in 1. _IMG0843 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr 2. _IMG0857 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr 3. _IMG0916 by Stephen...

_IMG0654 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _IMG0680 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr If the colours look washed out - it's because I exported them in aRGB. Plenty browsers now support this colour space but a few still don't. All taken with the superb Pentax 645z and 28-45

Lovely weather around at the moment, still a bit chilly and not really green at all but you can tell summer is coming and winter has been banished for good. It's therefore time to share some pictures of the most beautiful time of year. Loch Ba _DSC4557 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Lagangarbh...

Here's some more with the new 645z. First light _IMG0207 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Second light _IMG0220 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Why nothing inbetween - well - wind. That tree was moving around a lot so had to time my shots carefully then keep the best ones where the branches didn't...

Finally took the 645z out to play. All with the excellent 28-45. All shots taken to ensure all small grasses etc tack sharp - at 50mp this sort of stuff shows. Sunrise _IMG0054 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Just after sunrise _IMG0059 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Long after sunrise...

Fair few pulled from the bin here... Initially binned due to the ripples. _DSC0084 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Binned as well but rescued for 2020 _DSC3119 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Binned due to the lack of light...but...seems a bit harsh given how sparse 2020's pickings have been...

Variety of crops and focal lengths here using the legendary Sigma ART 35 and 50mm Fog proved a bitch and it didn't shift until 3 hours or so after sunrise. Shame as I reckon the light is a shade harsh and a little flat. Had the mist cleared an hour or so earlier these would have been killer as...

Three from a delightful summers evening when the temperature was at least in double digits. My camera will not leave it's bag now until May. I arrived nice and early - maybe it was a tad flat but far too good to ignore _DSC2300 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Then it got properly nice _DSC2309...

Not feeling the love for Autumn at the moment and missing the summer greens already - I know that's not a common sentiment with other landscapers but it is certainly mine. Not enjoying the cold and wind at all. Here's some from August just been. No sunlight really which was a crying shame but...

1. Faded light but a jolly nice hot summers evening to be out _DSC3692 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr 2. A quick nap in the car then Lochan na Fola first thing. Sadly it was a bit too cloudy for the strong light to come though and the early morning light was very diffused. _DSC2078 by Stephen...

It's finally almost June and summer is here. Sadly I cannot partake in the excellence that is on offer at the moment so will post some highlights from what is one of my favourite months in the entire year. The Torren Lochan _DSC1730 - Version 3 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr The Famous Falls...

May is one of my favourite times of year to shoot my local path. The month of May pretty much starts my photography year back up and is normally when I come out of my own "lockdown". As lockdown is now a reality I cannot really head out to shoot in the time of year I love the most. Here's some...

Daybreak in October 2018 at Buachaille Etive Mor and the Coupall River, a very cold morning but beautiful day. Buachaille Etive Mor by David Young, on Flickr
