I had an amazing time photographing last week in Scotland. I took three days out for personal retreat and landscape photography.

I had the most gorgeous scenery to drive through and walk amongst, along with a full range of light conditions. From late afternoon warm sun and fading light one day, to bright midday sun, turning cloudy then dull and oppressive cloud and then serene evening glow the next. A couple of pictures I had set out to take (complete with tripod and patient waiting for sun that failed to appear) didn’t happen. Yet others were chanced upon, as I kept stopping the car, scurrying out for  one more picture along a glen or country road.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did taking them.
