SubscribeDay 3 starts from Laggan Locks and takes the path by Loch Oich. This is reckoned by some to be the most visually pleasant part of the walk. The light was really flat this day and so this picture doesn’t do justice. A railway line used to run here, but it never quite connected Fort...
Just a quick one from our walk up the hill behind Howwood on Thursday evening. The light was very low as the sun had gone down, but it did have a lovely quality about it. It seemed to make the grass unnaturally green. The LX3 was in my pocket and I tried a snap of...
On Sunday Catherine and I went for a walk around our local landmark, Kenmuir Hill and Elliston Tower at its summit. The sky was rubbish so I left the 40D at home and took the LX3 instead. Here are a few for fun in black and white since the colours were drab anyway. Here’s the...
I know it’s a little pathetic, but I’m very fond of our little cat, Pepsi. Like all cats, she’s a little selfish and wicked, but she’s also very affectionate (when it suits her). The problem is twofold, she won’t look at a camera, no seriously she won’t, and she’s so black that you need just...
Sorry I haven’t posted for a couple of days. Between being away for a conference and then rushing back to hang the portraits in “Offshore cafe’s” exhibition space there hasn’t been time. On Friday night Catherine and our dear friends Gerry and Elisabeth got stuck into the task and discovered the true scale of hanging100...
This is the River Clyde from the water’s edge at Kirn by Dunoon. The landmass jutting in on the left is the Rosneath peninsula from Argyll between two naval bases. The land on the right is Greenock and Gourock in Inverclyde. I was amazed to see a downpour happening in Rosneath while Greenock was dry....
Often I drive past this wonderful view of the Clyde and Argyll with its rough landscape. This week I couldn’t resist stopping and taking this view with my ever present LX3. I braced it on a fencepost to steady it for this view. The foreground is a cemetery. the large crane marks the docks where...
I went walking with friends today up the incredibly cold Ben Dubh above Luss. With wind chill, (and there was plenty of it), it was bitterly cold and way sub zero at the top. All layers were on! I carried my 40D and my LX3 on a waistbelt on my rucksack and despite the flat...
Just another two from the LX3 at our last Celtic Connections visit for 2009. It was in Glasgow’s City Halls and I’m afraid my seat allowed me to take a few low light snaps but not to centre up or get close. I’ve reall just posted them as another example of the LX3 working in...
Driving past Loch Eck (Cowal peninsula) yesterday was a pleasant experience due to the soft mist and low hanging cloud over the still loch. I had a deadline which meant I could only pull into a layby and grab my Panny from my bag, it really is a handy way to get a 24mm wide...
