This was taken last Saturday at Dordle Door, Dorset. The famous arch is to the left of this outcrop. It's a two minute exposure at F16 using a 10 stop ND filter and a .6 grad.

From Elgol, towards the Cuillins;

@Tantris A pedant writes... "Cuillins" is incorrect, the plural is "Cuillin". In Gordon Stainforth's superb book of photographs "The Cuillin" he writes "the plural, Anglicized form of the name, 'the Cuillins', is as incorrect as calling the Caucasus 'the Caucasuses' or the Himalaya 'the Himalayas', and only slightly less grating on the enthusiast's ear than the cringe-making 'Cuillin Hills' - which makes then sound like something akin to the Cotswolds."
Great photos though, many thanks for sharing them.
BTW The Gordon Stainforth book is well worth getting for anyone who loves film photography of dramatic mountain scenery, IMO. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0094715505/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

Thanks Vince - I was just browsing for a proper guide the the Cuillin, and the book you've recommended looks very good indeed.

@Tantris your pictures sent me to find and scan some of my Skye pictures. These are from a traverse of the ridge, mid 80s I think, on a hot couple of days in May - I remember we were short of water and had to descend into a corrie to get some snow. Taken on an Olympus Trip 35 that I "borrowed" from my dad and later perished in spectacular fashion when I dropped it in Glencoe. Prints, scanned and a bit of colour correction applied.

I love the ghost gulls.

I love the ghost gulls.

Thank you.

Loving these fabulous Scottish landscapes chaps! Proof (as if it were needed) that I need to get myself up to Scotland.

Tangent alert: The only time I have ever been to Scotland was to attend a job interview at Linn when I graduated from University (I didn't get the job - turned out they wanted someone with 2 years experience). How different my life would have been if I did.

I still remember meeting Gilad whilst I was up there and him saying to me: 'Why would you want to move to Glasgow from London at your age?' I responded with an astonished look and 'Why wouldn't I?'

I've just managed my first short walk in some local woods after nearly six weeks on crutches. These logs caught my eye:

No new images from me I'm afraid. (Although I do have a few to process). Instead I decided to have a look back to summer. Here's a snapshot taken with the wee Sony on a most enjoyable walk during our summer holiday earlier this year.

Off to The Lakes today with the lad for half term. Can't wait!

Walkies! Superb weather, with Mont Blanc about 25 miles away.

I think @Lefty should be posting an image here and blowing his own trumpet

It’s a great shot Amar, and now you need to post it so that the forum members can enjoy
