Some images from west coast of Scotland

[steve yates]

While I was working on my own boats the last few years, I took a week each year from 2019 to 2021 to take my mates Twister for a wander on the west coast of Scotland.
Been stuck at home after a wee stint in hospital for balance issues so finally got round to editing the images from these trips.
Here they are

Very atmospheric thank you.

Some stunning images there @steve yates. I'm planning to take my boat up the west coast next summer, this has whetted my appetite even more.

Who is the singer?

You could do justice to the Galician coast….

Thanks, I'll need to hear more of her stuff.

Nice pics. Quite by chance I’ve bought a boat on the west coast so I’ve a couple of years to sample the delights.

You’ll love it, light years better than cruising down south

Good stuff Steve, but it's much more pleasant out of season when one can avoid those crowds.......... ? ?
By the way, at about 3:35 or so, a couple of the pictures are straight from the canvas of the now sadly departed Willie Fulton; beautiful.

Great pictures.
What is the camera? Did you use camera settings or camera settings and software for some of the compositions?

Its a fuji xt1, (honestly, the camera is irrelevant as long as its reasonably up to the job. I take my old ones as they are easy to get ruined aboard. The lenses matter far more than the body. ) the images are jpg (I really should shoot raw but cant be bothered with the extra processing converting them) and processed in an old photoshop, version 6. I always compose in camera but will crop in post if I want a pano style format or decide I prefer it tweaking. Actually the most common cropping in post is to cut sensor dust spots off the edge of the frame that I cant be arsed to clone out

Thanks for that, I didnt know of him, glad I do now, I really like his stuff!

Lovely photos, Steve, thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a good time in my home cruising grounds, around Skye and the Small Isles (based Arisaig).
Roll on next season!

Yet again, you show that you're the Man with the Eye. Some of those are almost enough to make me dust off my old B&W develop & print equipment!

Can you shoot both RAW and jpeg, I do with my ancent Canon 400D and if I like the shot can do a bit of extra processing, but use GIMP as it is free.

 

[Thistle]

Great shots well put together and a fine reminder of how good b&w can be. It's not often I watch a sequence like that all the way through but I did this time and will certainly revisit it. Many thanks for posting.

I can but the batteries will get chewed through quicker. I have plenty processing software, photography has been my living for over 30 years, I'm just lazy and want to keep it as simple as possible. I am a very fast editor, I've had years to get my workflows ultra slick, but its still just a tedious chore.

You sir are an artist.

 

[Kelpie]

Fantastic. Making me a bit homesick!
