During Lockdown I discovered this little loch not too far from home. It was spring and the lilies were in full bloom. I knew then that I wanted to photograph this lily loch during a colourful sunrise. Fast forward a while and I return to the loch in the autumn to finally photograph it with a beautiful sunrise.
The last stop on my epic Moray Coast sunrise to sunset landscape photography expedition. I was fascinated by the sand dunes full of Marram grass, a landscape that doesn’t exist where I’m from, so I attempted to capture the majesty of them with different photographic styles. Before I changed subject and looked to the sea and the lighthouse.
Moving along the Moray Coast it was now the middle of the day but I was inspired to try different landscape photography styles in the various locations I visited along the coast. I explored detailed compositions of the rock formations and features of the beach, as well as a more traditional approach and ICM photography as well. A great day exploring the Moray Coast for landscape photography opportunities.
A very early morning spent on the Moray Coast, taking landscape photographs of the amazing Bow Fiddle Rock. I moved around the beach and cliffs to show how the position of a person can relate to the compositions of a single subject: Bow Fiddle. It worked well and although there were now sunrise colours in the sky, I still had a great morning and got some lovely images…
Whenever I go to photograph red grouse, I see these rocky outcrops and hills and I’ve always wondered whether they would be good for landscape photography? Curiosity finally got the better of me and an evening walk was in order. The weather was changing so much that it brought the landscape to life and I had to go handheld to photograph the changing conditions. An excellent day of photography!
A quiet and calming exploration of a forest with several lochs inspired me to try various different landscape photography techniques and styles. Painterly reflections, black and white intimate abstract reflection, ICM photography of the forest, and a classic viewpoint composition. A great day of Landscape Photography!
After trying to go to a location near to the last vlog, which turned out to be covered with campervans and families, I went to my back up location that was perfectly isolated and a joy to watch the sunset. It was horribly windy, making audio recording almost impossible, but the combination of light, clouds and sea created some brilliant minimalist compositions and a great evening of landscape photography!
