rannoch moor

Couple from Wednesday last week. Not my best but still good fun to be out and about in the sun with a camera during my favourite time of the year. The first is from the Torren Lochan and a different angle to the normal one I do. It's good to mix it up a bit and this is really a trial run for...

I had a really nice morning on Rannoch Moor last Thursday. Lovely clear reflections and it was nice and warm. This has to be my favourite time of year, despite the midges. 1st light _DSC1033 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr All light _DSC1081 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr There was quite a lot...

Just a simple letter box crop from an outing last March. Dawn _DSC0417 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Sunrise _DSC0431 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr I just love mornings like this.

_DSC0576 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr I took a punt on there being a fairly good chance of a colourful sunset last night. It wasn't bad and I managed to get reflections and the colours at the same time. 5 mins either side of this and it was choppy and the colour wasn't there. This spot is...

As you all know I live near here and am up here shooting a lot. This Saturday I decided to go and visit. I rarely head out over the weekends as I prefer to shoot alone and not encounter large groups of people, something, despite the popularity of the area is quite easy to achieve. It wasn't...

This morning I went in search of reflections. Sadly it wasn't quite mill pond still but it wasn't bad. To make it better the snow is back. Dawn was lovely and vibrant but unfortunately misty. I much prefer cleared conditions. _DSC0315 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _DSC0325 by Stephen Taylor...

I posted some very similar shots back in november but these are subtly different in tones and light as they were taken a few minutes apart. I am in Glencoe later today and tomorrow. The Buachaille _DSC4018 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Loch Ba _DSC4147 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr

Took these three in Feb 2015. Went back over them tonight to see if I could improve them at all. Tried a few different crops. @gregww1 mentioned something very interesting about 4x5 being his favourite aspect. I recall composing it in portrait but this crop I think works nicely in a...

After the disaster which was Sunday/Monday with the failed memory card I decided to get back out there with a fresh memory card on Wednesday/Thursday to see what I could come up with. Dawn at the Buachaille: _DSC4013 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr First light was not disappointing but snow all...

Two images from Loch Ba on Rannoch Moor yesterday. All of Sundays images are lost due to a faulty memory card but luckily I had the long lens on the other body and took these on the way back from the Buachaille Yesterday (also lost these too). Went with a cinematic 2.85:1 letter box crop with...

Just got round to working this and some other stuff I need to do. Went with an unsual aspect ratio for this 16x10. 16x9 just made it too cramped. I was happy with it in the view finder but on the big screen I felt I had too much sky above the mountains. _DSC3727 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr...

Todays effort. I had hoped for some mist and stronger colours but they are on their way out now with a lot of the trees that bare brown way. Reflections were reasonably good this AM with only a few ducks, a tiny bit of wind and a canoeist to content with. Light never came but I was hoping for a...

Time for some nice bright reflections. I always like taking a walk round Lochan na h-Ahclaise and seeing what I can come up with. I had been here since dawn but the sun didn't break through until a good 2hrs after "sunrise" so none of these have the subtle golden rich lighting I crave but the...

A few from last week as I was up in the area leading a 121 workshop. Loch Tulla _DSC8746 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Rannoch Moor _DSC8755 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Rannoch Moor B&W _DSC8755 (1) by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Loch Urr, Glen Etive _DSC8784 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr...
