Three ways of seeing something that seems absolutely unreal. My vocabulary died in the Dolomites, all I was left with was "WOW" 😉

Forest bathing, autumn edition 😍

A wee sunset shot from Dunure, Thursday 05.11.26.

The night when aurora didn't play ball was (most likely, I know I've said it before) my last night of the Milky Way shooting this year. Simply beacuse the best part of it will not be visible above the horizon until late February here in Scotland. I had some time to kill while waiting for the aurora though, so why not use the clear sky to try out some compositions, right? Plus, there actually were some lingering aurora-ish hues in the sky.

Last night I went to Turnberry lighthouse hoping to capture some aurora. Well, this is all I got, and it was pretty much just after my arrival. I spent around three hours there, checking my phone for aurora alerts and killing time shooting some more Milky Way. Definitely not a wasted outing :-)

A few months ago I posted some photos of this sparrowhawk, here's a wee video I took on that day. What a handsome bird.

Not exactly the most majestic face expression on this one... 😜

100% CUTENESS, no sugar added or needed!
One day in late August I finally managed to stay patient and stealth enough to get a bunch of shots of our resident roe deer. They usually spot me way before I see them, but not this time. I might be actually getting better at this 😜

And now for something completely different.
Being a somewhat experienced photographer, I found the Dolomites overwhelming. Scenes like this one were difficult for me to make sense of and compose properly. I was using my zoom lens as if it was wide angle due to the insane scale of those mountains. During the edit the colour felt almost unnecessary. What a surreal experience, and what a lovely problem to have as a photographer ;-)
Many more images to follow, of course.

Sometimes (most of the time, really) Scottish weather doesn't play ball... and that's when some good and tested inland places come to the rescue.
Last Friday the wind at Turnberry lighthouse was just too strong for any long exposure attempts. I did manage to take a foreground shot for a composition I planned though, and decided to head to my favourite Loch Bradan. Unfortunately, even there I couldn't take any decent Milky Way shots as the clouds were hanging low and persistently over the horizon. That is why I went back there on Saturday, waited for the moon to set, and finally got a bunch of photos that I can use for my last Milky Way images of the year.
This is the first of them: the composite of Turnberry lighthouse and Loch Bradan sky.
