Steppin Stanes

I thought the rocks in the foreground almost acted like stepping stones across to Ailsa Craig

ISO100, 8sec, f/5 and some editin
A rotten day for shootin anythin apart from cullin gray squirrels... so this is the best I could do with a not so good bunch. Need to go now can smell the squirrel burnin in the stove.

Distant Snowfields

Greenan Castle was built in 1603 by the Kennedy's. It's perched on a sheer coastal cliff with views across to Arran. It was built on the site of a previous fortification non of which now remains.


Caught In The Headlight

Lookin through some old family photos I came across this one. Although shot around the late 1930's early 40's it still (I think ?) has a modern feel about it, with the photographer deliberately capturin his own reflection. I know it was deliberate because he titled it "Reflection In The Headlight"!

The Heids

This shot at the Heids (heads) of Ayr is slightly staged. I put the lobster pot there... I carry one about everywhere I go! You never know when you might need one just to add some foreground interest :) That said the colours in this one do not look quite right can't quite put me finger on it hmmm?

Oh and I think I have worked out why they call them the heads of ayr but that is for another time.

Old is Best

I'm thinkin on returnin to the old style template where I have more control over the HTML. Which means I can edit the codin to make this blog look the way I like it with fonts etc. So if the followers thingy on the side bar disappears please do not take offence folks.

Haunted

The hunt for the last of the snow afforded the chance to visit an old childhood haunt. Not much water in this a winter born burn as it has been relatively dry for so long... so me thinks I'll return when there's some rain about which probably won't be long!
