Glen Coe

Another archive shot this week. I'm now on leave from the boat but it seams I'm busier on leave than when I'm at work. As such I've not had the camera out for a couple of weeks so here's a shot I took in April. In the background is the Buachaille Eite Mòr at the southern end of Glen Coe. This cottage sits beside the road on the way to the ski centre. I camped here for the night before climbing a couple of the surrounding mountains the next day.

The shot is HDR, tonemapped using Photomatix Pro. 3 shots -2 ev, 0, +2 ev

Rothesay Castle

 Canon 7D, Canon 18-135mm @ 135mm, ISO100, f36, 0.4sec

Now that I've arrived back in bonny Scotland I thought I'd post these pictures from Rothesay castle on the Isle of Bute. I took them last time I was home and been meaning to post them for a while. I had intended to do some HDR images but once I'd done a black and white conversion in Aperture 3 I was pretty pleased with the result anyway.

Dry Dock

Just spent a few days in dry dock. You'll never guess where. Been a bit too busy to get out and about with the camera but here are a couple of shots from round the dock.
