The Three Sisters at Dawn
I am finding my eye is drawn more and more towards black and white for landscapes, particularly when the rolling hills and mist are composed of such subtle tones.

The Falkirk Wheel
The Falkirk Wheel is a fascinating and beautiful piece of engineering.
Designed to replace a series of locks, boats float out along a viaduct from the top of a hill, then enter one of two “baths”, 180 degrees opposed on the twin arms of a wheel. The wheel then rotates 180 degrees, swapping the top and bottom bath. Out the boat moves, 35 metres below/above its start point.
I used my recently acquired B+W ND 110 filter to get some nice skies and reflections in the water.
I processed the black and white images using Nik Silver EFX Pro 2. I was pleased with the results, and plan to write something up to show my workflow with it soon.
P.S. I’ve had a few requests to show where this is, so I’ve included a map.
Christmas Light
On Christmas afternoon we made our way off Dartmoor through some woods. The snow had started to melt in the sunlight, producing a wonderful mist that caught the sun’s rays as they passed through the trees.
Entered in the Photo Friday ‘Glowing’ challenge.
Spanning the Firth of Forth
The Forth Rail Bridge on a beautiful evening in South Queensferry. I used 3 exposures, each 2 stops apart and merged to keep the dynamic range.
Silk Roses
Display outside a flower shop in Stockholm. The roses are made from folded pink silk ribbons.
