Peebles Beltane 2011

Cornet's Reel at 10.30pm outside the Tontine Hotel, Peebles High Street, Wednesday June 22nd 2011, Nikon D100, 28-70mm/2.8, Vivitar 283 Flash 1/4 sec f8

Matterhorn, Zinalrothorn, Obergabelhorn & Dent Blanche

Another shot with the folding Zeiss Ikonta from the North Ridge of the Weisshorn in August 1989.

Weisshorn View

The view East at Sunrise one day in August 1989 from halfway up the Grand Gendarme on the North Ridge of the Weisshorn, Swiss Alps. It's a bit magenta but I've not fiddled with it in Photoshop.
Taken on Kodak Gold 200 film, using a Zeiss Ikonta 6 x 6 cm camera, with a 75mm/4.5 Anstigmat lens. Unfiltered. I'd only owned the camera about six weeks and the picture has some flare from the uncoated lens.
It is ideal for mountaineering as it is light-weight with the lens folding into the body and shoots medium format negatives.
I'd hate to take a modern Hasselblad digital up the North Ridge of the Weisshorn - the battery would probably fail!! Apart from the weight................oh and £8,000, the Zeiss cost £80.00 and you can still get them for about the same money.

Isle of Rum

Looking back to the Isle of Rum and the Cuillin mountains from the deck of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to Mallaig. This was the first clear day after 8 days of rain and storm. Taken with Provia 100 film through a Nikon FM2N + 28mm lens and polariser.

Isle of Rum

Deer Tracks on Kilmory beach, Isle of Rum. Somewhere in the haze and rain clouds in the background lurks the Isle of Skye.

Long Lens

Spent some time pondering purchasing a variable aperture zoom such as the 70-300mm VR before our trip to the Isle of Rum.
Eventually took my 180mm/2.8 and a manual TC200 2X converter. On the D200 this gives the equivalent of a 560mm f5.6. I used that to take this photo of a duck? (Does anyone know what it is?)
Settings 1/500th f5.6 ISO 125

Camera Panning

Taken on Fuji Provia 100 film with a Nikon F100, 70-300mm G VR lense 1/60th f11 using panning where the camera moves at the same speed as the moving subject thus blurring the background
