Didn't detour back that way Eric, there will be another time, now I have found them. May even get to the Falkirk Wheel next time. Just starting to go through our images. Christopher has been using the D3300, Michael is at work now and doesn't have time to go on our jaunts any more. I am amazed at the quality of some of Christopher's photo's. Admittedly the D3300 is set on fully auto, even so he has made some really nice photographs entirely on his own with very little input from me. He seems very fluid with the camera controls, zooming in on detail to check focus sharpness after he takes the shot, deleting it and retaking if he isn't happy with it. This is one of the first I have processed, the ISO 100 was a mistake, should have been ISO 200, the previous images had been a waterfall and I had reduced the ISO to help get the creamy effect in the flowing water but forgot to reset it.

One of the waterfalls at the Fairy Pools at the head of Glen Brittle. Unfortunately this was the only one I captured. An ND filter would have been a great advantage for this one but I didn't have one with me and we had to leave before I could try other techniques.

Thanks Robert...we never saw them at night. Personally I prefer them lit in white light for some reason? It's also interesting that although spectacular when lit, somehow they don't seem as imposing as in daylight when against black sky. The last shot with the sky less dark does seem to recapture this dominance despite being further away. I think it's my favourite. Well done.

Thanks Eric, without your suggestion I would never have known of their existence. This one is a vertical panorama. We arrived about 10 pm and must have spent a couple of hours capturing them. It was definitely a challenge, it was raining quite hard when we arrived. D3, Nikkor 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 @ 35mm, 1/4 sec, f7.1 ISO 4000. Attachment: _D3A9250-Pano-Edit.jpg (Downloaded 24 times)

For you Eric, in white! It was almost the first one I took, the fist one was blurred. This one is the furthest away, almost from the car park. D3, Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 @ 135mm, 1/5 sec, f4.5 ISO 1600. Attachment: Screen Shot 2016-07-31 at 13.59.02.jpg (Downloaded 25 times)

A complete change of tac, my trip included a visit to the 'Scottish Explorers' garden at Pitlochry. Despite not really being prime flowering season there were some wonderful blooms on display. I tried to do them justice but didn't succeed in all cases. On the Saturday evening before we left for Skye last Tuesday morning, I was browsing on eBay, I spotted a Nikkor 105mm Micro f4 "FILM" lens @ £33.50 I kept my eye on it and bid for and won it that night. Not sure if the "FILM" bit put people off but what a bargain! Even more of a surprise was it arrived minutes before we left for Skye. This is one of the first images I have made with it... Well worth the extravagance I think! I doubt if it will ever see film again but it works very well with the D3.  D3, Nikkor Micro 105mm f4; @ 1/640 sec, f5.6 ISO 1600.
