Pilgrim.

Pilgrim

I have come back to this same spot at the same time every year for the last 13 years. When the forecast is cold with no wind I know there will be a mist and the water will be still as glass. Making the same image every year is something I can do as these images are made just for me. Repeating myself is not an issue. It’s a comfort to see the turning of the season. I always go home feeling joyful. That is a form of pilgrimage, I suppose.

Soft and hard.

Canon 5D4, 28mm, ISO 100, 13 seconds @ f/16.

I was really pleased with this image. I enjoy the balance, the juxtaposition of the hard rock and the soft background as well as the colour contrast of gold to blue from left to right.

For Manoj.

Hi Manoj, These are there more abstract images from yesterday morning (01/11/20) at Loch Chon that you wanted to see. The exposure was causing havoc with the camera sensor so I still need to sort out the colour grading.

Winter at Loch Chon

Loch Chon Snow and Reeds

Back at Loch Chon to catch the snow before the thaw. Arrived to a localised flurry of snow landing on the frozen surface of the loch. Not nearly as cold as it looks. Great company with Niall and Joe.

Conditions: Breezy with heavy snow flurries. Overcast. Needing a faster shutter speed due to the reed movement hence ISO 400.

Camerawork: Canon 5D3. 17-40L @22mm, ISO 400, 1/60″ @ f/11.
