A handful of photos from walking the dog one afternoon – stark trees, mist, low clouds, distant hills: Perthshire landscape at its autumnal moodiest.

Around Here
A couple of views whilst out walking the dog – golden-hour sunlight on Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich over by Callander, taken from Auchterarder.
Olympus Pen-F, 75-300mm lens, RawTherapee, 5-frame HDRs blended with enfuse and toned in darktable.
The colour photos are for sale on EyeEm: Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich; sunset tree silhouette.
Birnam Hill: Trees
Straight and curved, young to characterful and spooky: the many and varied moods of trees. A handful of photos taken on a stroll around Birnam Hill.
The Hermitage
A small selection of photos from The Hermitage near Dunkeld: some experiments with tree filigree – appreciating the patterns of tree branches and twigs lightly silhouetted against the sky – and the Black Linn waterfall as the River Braan flows through a gorge (some obligatory long-exposure work too, of course).
I met a gorgeous collie-x-lurcher on the way out of the carpark; the mud instantly went to trouser-pocket level and I didn’t care a jot, the merely 4-month-old wee dog was so overjoyed to see everyone.
Quite a nice place to walk in the woods of an afternoon!
Solar Halo
It’s one of the more common atmospheric-optical phenomena, but I still had to stop and admire this ring of colour in the wispy clouds, sun hidden behind the chimneys.
The Shape of Trees
Nothing beats a silhouette of shapely trees against a clear blue sky, tinged with glimpses of warm autumn light.
St John’s Kirk, Perth
I still remember the place for being very unwelcoming last September – however at least the building has a rather photogenic profile from the outside.
