Just beautiful Sheps. Someone mentioned Merlins the other day and it reminded me of you! I must go back to Glen Lyon and see if I can spot them again.
I'm always meaning to ask you - do you sell your photos, or is it a hobby? Everything about your photos is so beautiful
Hi Fairy, I haven't sold any images for a long time, though I still get image requests from newspapers / magazines, but I can't be bothered now, as most of the time they just want the images for free and all they give you is a credit.
Not so long ago I gave some images to the Hawk and Owl Trust, this was to try and help save Worlaby Carr, where the above shot was taken.
Lovely photos scroggin. Glad you're having a nice break - and a bit of snow adds to the fun
We get fogbows up here, but I've never heard of a snowbow. Do you mean it was snowing while there was a rainbow, or is it something else?
The snow's been so hit and miss here - tons of it one week, then it disappears, then it comes back. Even on the higher hills it's been like that all winter.
Think I was about 1800 feet up where that pic was taken BL. You have a high start point there - about 900 or 1000 feet. It's a great viewpoint for most of the Glencoe hills and lots of the others to the south. In the other direction you have all the Mamores and the Nevis hills, and across to the Easains etc. It's pretty special - definitely worth it, and not a difficult hill to do.
Bit poor if they try to fob you off with a mention and not hard cash, Sheps
I think you should do a book. Can I do the foreward?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
You must have endless patience, Sheps, to get such fabulously sharp images.
Lovely to see the Lake District in winter, Scroggin. Hope you're enjoying your break.
Fairy, it's hard luck you've not managed to get out walking for a bit - but those images you posted from earlier trips are definitely worth looking back on.
Thanks everyone.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
The winter has been so benign that I've done more hills than I would normally expect. Just hoping we get some decent stuff so that I can get out regularly through spring
I look at photos quite a lot, which is the opposit issue most people have with digital cameras. 'You never look at them if they're on a computer' they always say. I suppose because I'm on this forum a lot, it means they're right there - at the touch of a button
I have printed some though, and I'd like to do more and put them in frames.

And now for something completely different. This is a photo I took in the late 50s with a tired old 3.5 * 4.5 plate camera at Sprotborough Lock near Doncaster of a proper working barge. The plate was developed and printed by me:
Oakridge, that's a really interesting photo. (I like the composition too, lots of triangles.) We have a canal running through our town but it only ever accommodated narrow boats - in its heyday, before the railway, a steady stream of them carrying coal one way and cloth the other.

Interesting wintry scenes , scroggin. No Floss?
That road looks so tiny, not like an A road at all! Dwarfed by the majestic mountains.
Lovely photos, Scroggin, but it looks so chilly! Are you on holiday?

I can't complain Liri - even though I do

Please excuse the external link but I have recently re-joined the Microsoft fraternity from Linux and I am still finding my way around.
