Blair Castle

While visiting Loch Tay we went on a road trip to the surrounding area. We visited Blair Castle as one of the local tourist attractions.

I took some photos inside and the surround of Blair castle and only found out afterwards they don’t photography in the foyer (the photos of the guns). I do like the voyeur photos.

Loch Tay I

I spent a long weekend at Loch Tay. Very scenic area and great if you packed the camera (just don’t forget the tripod). I spent a few early mornings at the Loch while all the folks were asleep. Best time for photos for best light and having no extras in your photos, I had a few spoilt as more folks arrived.

Normally I would select one or two photos of a area. I struggled to narrow the photos down so selected these as the ones I like most.

Aberdour harbour

Last one in the series of photos taken around the Aberdour area.
I was lucky to have a low tide at my disposal when I went looking for the old pier. The harbour was a great experience and I learnt from it, which is more important than the results below.

Forth from Aberdour

Continuing on from previous post. Some time laps photos in windy conditions from Aberdour area of the Forth and Abedour pier.

Aberdour pier at sunrise

Right after finishing off at Grangemouth I crossed the Forth looking for one of two piers I found using Google maps.

Arrived at Aberdour with 30min to go before sunrise. I was very lucky to have low tide as well which allowed extra potential photos.

Lots of long exposures photos followed using my tripod, remote trigger, ND filter, 24-105mm L F4 and Canon 7D. I thought I will give the 7D a try and if it goes well get rid of the 1D mark III (get another 7D as a backup camera). Finally left after midday feeling like I had some good fun and might have some great shots.

Here’s the 1st bunch taken around sunrise.
