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.

Castle Fraser and Stables

I visited Castle Fraser and stables about 2 years ago. It’s located about 30min drive north-west of Aberdeen, Scotland. I stayed over night and went for a walk around sunrise.

 

I like this photo I took on the way up. I like the way each different colours has it’s own section.The moon of course but without any interfering town or city lights.
Next morning I took a walk around sunrise from the stables where we stayed to Castle Fraser.
Then strolled back to the Stables. The Stables has been converted into two big departments and a office building.
It was really nice to stay in and absolutely huge. We stayed on the top floor department. It rans from the round
stairway tower on the far left all the way to the stairway tower at the far right.
The courtyard from one of the bedrooms. The office block can be seen right across and the right of the courtyard.One set of the tower stairs.
