David just likes taking beautiful photographs



Aren't these lovely? David and his wife just like taking photographs and showing them to members of their camera club in Aberdeenshire. I've always found that photographers are rather quiet modest folks, who make lifelong friends. I really enjoy the photograph with the bike on top of the car. Thank you David. It is a shame that you don't post them on to Flickr so that everyone can enjoy them.

Jesper Berling's photograph. Click to his site.


Jesper is from Denmark, loves Glencoe and I particularly liked this shot for the unusual composition. Why does everything have to include intersecting thirds? Why can't you for once have the centre of atention smack in the middle and cut the picture in half as well? This is exactly how I see walks in the Glencoe mountains. I think it is a lovely shot.

Canoeing River Etive, by John W


Canoeing River Etive, originally uploaded by kentallen.

Wonderful river for canoeing. 2-3 hours journey down it. The UK Guide for Kayakers calls it "Possibly the finest River in Scotland for Kayaking" These falls at the so-called Crack of Doom, are graded 4, pretty tough.
