A simple scene – I spotted this bramble silhouetted against the glowing low sun just as I was heading back down the hill to the carpark.

Up Kinnoull Hill: classic landscape
It has to be done – the view from Kinnoull Hill, past the folly looking along the River Tay wending its way through the Carse of Gowrie.
I made this photo partly because some scenes have to be done, and partly to test a new Carl Zeiss 50mm Tessar f/2.8 lens acquired for surprisingly-cheap on eBay. The wide-angle field of view comes from this being a panorama of 11 frames stitched together; at over 56 megapixels, there’s enough detail to easily resolve roof-tiles in the houses at the foot of the hill, or road-signs across the A90.
Up Kinnoull Hill: Strange Trees
Two different views on trees in the woods on Kinnoull Hill.
Both taken in bright sunny daylight; one tweaked to look more like dusk/night-time, the other processed for a high-key haze. Nice one, Darktable.
Up Kinnoull Hill: Nice Trees
Three photos of trees, taken on a stroll up Kinnoull Hill in Perth.
Winter on the South Inch
It’s my favourite time of the year. Admittedly the snow, slush and ice on the pavements makes strolling a little difficult, but that’s OK – white stuff in strange light is just wonderful.
Perth by Night
A handful of photos taken after dark from the Queen’s Bridge in town, waiting for the fireworks to happen.
Around Mull
A small selection of photos from a weekend trip to Mull last September – a couple of views around Lochdon, Duart Castle from the ferry and Lismore Lighthouse basking in the sunlight on the way back.
Around Kilchurn Castle
It seems a while ago now, but last September I spent a weekend trundling around Argyll. The light on the Saturday morning was absolutely beautiful – so I spent a happy couple of hours standing on the shores of Loch Awe admiring the sunlight and mist on Ben Cruachan and Kilchurn Castle, as one does.
