A wonderful morning exploring Glen Affric looking to capture the vibrant colours of autumn in the landscape. From the sunburst yellows of birch trees, to the layering of colours created by bracken. The beautiful valley of Glen Affric does not disappoint in the variety of images to be had.
Arriving at Loch an Eilean there was a tonne of people out enjoying the evening, I wasn’t deterred from my planned Landscape Photography. It was a spectacular evening full of golden light cast across the landscape and vibrant pink and orange colours in the sky. The first 2 images I captured were complicated images to process: an HDR and a Panorama. But the best images came from the setting sun!
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.
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…
A beautiful sunny day does not easily lend itself to landscape photography, but I had a brainwave, the golden light of sunset ought to create heavy areas of contrast in the mountains and I could get some minimalist images. But when the clouds begin to block out the sun, I had to adapt my plans. ICM photography saved the evening and created some amazing images.
A new location for me up on the Moray Coast lent itself to wonderful forest and beach photography. This remote sandy beach was hidden through a large pine forest requiring a hike of several kilometres to arrive, and as the beach comes into view there is a dead forest that is so unique I had to photo it! Then great sunset colours appeared over the sea!
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!
Following immediately on from the last vlog about my new Kase Filters, I went to a little village on the Moray Coast to photograph the setting sun. The sandy beach provided some great compositions and the sun dazzled with vibrant oranges contrasting with a deep blue in the sky. It was a great evening of photography with plenty of images!
The first vlog I filmed. I’m not gonna lie, it starts off a bit sketchy. I was a bit nervous and didn’t talk with the camera and as I was focusing on filming, I missed out on some epic light. In the photos you can see that I missed the focus point by a millimeter! Very annoying but the scenery and the light is amazing…
