cliff and castle become one
I don’t even know what to say about this place or about this photo.
So…here’s a castle. And the North Atlantic. And sunset.

Even if you don’t necessarily think of yourself as a landscape photographer, but you get the chance to go to the Scottish Highlands with Don Toothaker and Karl Griffin, you should do everything in your power to make it happen.
It’s hard to find two better photographers/teachers than Don and Karl. Then there’s the added benefit that the two of them together are just hilarious. And don’t overlook the fact that the Highlands are full of fabulous things to see and photograph. Like this beached ship, to give but one example. (More examples coming though, so don’t even worry about that.)

Scottish mist blurs the night
I can see how living in a misty climate could get old. But since I don’t live in a misty place, it seemed enchanting and delightful. And – bonus! – it opened up the possibility of utilizing the reflective, wet pavement and doing some intentional camera movement images.

castle/graves
The St. Cuthbert’s Kirkyard is just down the hill from the Edinburgh Castle. I liked the kirkyard a lot more than I liked the castle, if I’m being honest.
You know I like to photograph cemeteries…

coffee girl
The first morning in Edinburgh was a treat, wandering around in the mist with my camera in hand, taking in sights of a place I’d never been.
And that’s how I happened to see this young woman at a coffee shop. (And how she happened to see me.)
