I have mixed feelings. It’s been great to spend time with like minded photographers such as Helen Bartlett, Tom Catchesides and Rob Cook (it’s a solitary thing usually,) And as usual when traveling with David Ward I have learnt a bit more. My current relationship with my 5×4 still needs work and even though I exposed a few slides, it’s a wait and see kind of thing.

The biggest issue (it always is) is the light – it has been very challenging. I prefer rain and moodiness. What we had was bright blue skies or grey yuck. At times it has been hard to keep motivated. To keep looking. To keep creating. To keep composing.

Nevertheless I have 2 images that will find their way into my portfolio which is satisfying. Next time I’ll come back in autumn or winter. I suppose it seems right though to end on some sunset colours – my only sunset light of the week. It’s not a great image but it represents a lot more than that to me.

Suilven and Canisp, Loch Inver

On another note I had the pleasure of meeting David Noton and his wife, though I suspect that being interrupted by a gang of photographers in the wilderness was not high on his priority list!

And finally one of John Bartlett – I guess this sums up what being out in the landscape is all about

The weather has fought against us every single step of the way. Typically Scotland I know but…oh and the ticks have been out in force.

A rain shower over night led to a new front coming in early on in the morning and the first breaking clouds of the week rolled around the Fidler.

And after that it disappeared…

Last day tomorrow

It rained what seemed like grey sludge

The weather has finally changed. We’ve moved from the unseasonable blue skies and hot sun to a more Scottish standard of grey – hurray! Though as has been pointed out by residents that’s not so good news.

Dawn was damp squib – it never happened. Still you have to get out there and try; though bed is often a more appealing thought, especially when any colour in the sky is fleeting at best.

Two images from today’s exploration. The first is of beech trees just waiting for spring to arrive. I however like the fact that they are without leaves

The second is from a lunch stop that turned into an afternoon of discovery. There’s nothing better than arriving somewhere that looks so normal from a distance but walking around reveals a plethora of things to point your camera at. The image is I suppose work in progress – the light was shocking. Still I had Lord of The Rings, running through my mind as I took the pictur

And a few from the iPhone

Though this is set to change on Wednesday. Still the company is good, the food is wonderful and the iPhone continues to delight and surprise.

 

 

And my 3rd image of the day…more corrugated iron…that fetish is catching

Well for photography it does. Blue skies, bright sun – fine if you’re on holiday, but not if you are trying to create images. And the whole of 5×4 debate continues.

It’s a crisis of confidence I think so I’m working on overcoming it. Slowly though.

More with the iPhone

We came across this wonderful location as the sun (finally) went down…makes you think what it is…

It’s an odd place to be mentally – the 5×4 problem, not Scotland that is. Which unusually is very hot and the midges are making an early entrance. Back to the problem – I suppose it’s because I’m out of practice with the camera that things are tricky. Maybe I don’t quite like the process as much as I did, maybe I’m just seduced by the immediacy of digital…

Iphonography…
