Many of my best images were taken from the bottom of our garden, because, when the light is special, you can get down there in thirty seconds. This shot was taken yesterday morning, when the sun was still very low in the sky. Just printed it out to A3+, and it looks quite good. So, I’ve put it into my ‘exhibition collection’…….if I ever get round to having one!

I have nice memories of this place……my parents used to belong to a
sailing club just north of Millarochy Bay, so we spent most weekends there.

Approaching Storm

Yesterday evening there was the most amazing light. The sky got so dark,
and yet the sun still got through. The loch mirrored the green fields and
the trees. The colours looked unreal in their intensity. I thought, ‘
Ansell Adams got light like this most days, but it’s the first time I’ve
seen it..’ Perhaps that’s what makes landscape photography so challenging?

Heading for Home

Having a loch at the bottom of our garden, allows you to peep out the window, see the light is nice, and grab the camera and run. So much easier than sitting in a camper van for days (which I’ve never done!), by the side of a loch up the Highlands, waiting for beautiful light.

The Upper Loch, Lochmaben

Taken just a few days ago (mid February). Fortunately dawn comes at a reasonably civilised 7.15am at this time of year. The smallness of the loch, and the soft early morning light, lent a feeling of intimacy to the atmosphere.

Dawn Patrol

Something about the form of this fishing jetty on Lochmaben’s Castle Loch, has drawn me back several times with my camera. The light at dawn has a beautiful quality, especially on a frosty morning. I was so pleased when the four swans came sailing past as they inspired the composition.
