Another lovely article , and has taught me something I hadn’t considered. That fantastic photo on a great walk isn’t always possible to achieve when time constrictions and nature are involved.
I really enjoyed reading your post, Felicity. It is nice to see photographs taken in realistic daytime conditions, which is after all what most people experience. And I think there is great skill in being able to make the most of photos taken in less than ideal conditions.
I also take photos in whatever conditions I happen to find myself in. I am always out and about with my partner, who is not a photographer, and don't want to try his patience too much! I enjoy the editing process and turning a dreary grey photo into something usable is so satisfying :-)
Sounds like a super camera club presentation. The Kilmartin Glen video nearly had me reaching for my walking boots and heading up the road! Still, after 4 years have not visited, and every time I pass the museum I think it’s top of my list, and then don’t get to go. This year is a must! Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks. Kilmartin Glen is magical. It’s well worth visiting the museum first for some insight then picking a few of the ancient monuments to explore. On the way up the road look out for Achnabreac carved stones on the right opposite the turn for Crinan (a mile forestry trail past them). They are more extensive than the ones I filmed. Then Dunadd on the left (car park at the foot of the rocky hillfort - don’t miss the carved footprint).
It sounds like your local camera club had a wonderfully thorough and thought provoking presentation. It must be very useful to them to see a different photography skillset. As for here, I enjoy the variety in your newsletter. Thanks Felicity.
Thank you Amy. I am still unsure about switching around subject matter, but am finding that Substack is encouraging me to be myself and write what is on my mind.

Thanks Alastair.

Thank you, that’s kind. Good to connect with a fellow spirit. Yes, partners’ patience isn’t to be tried too much!

Ah I know exactly where you mean by the kennels in Lochgilphead!! An easy trip to make.
