First Workshop day - last Saturday up North

I did my first photography workshop on Saturday - first year has just been spent on my own practicing and taking loads of shots so I figured it was time to get a bit of outside help. We got up to Glen Coe before dawn and had a good wander round a variety of spots before finishing at Castle Stalker for sunset. Some great conditions at Castle Stalker hence 2 or 3 from there as I can't decide which one I like best. Some I'm not hugely fussed about but they were sort of locations you've got to do. There were only a couple of us on the workshop but you still couldn't just wander off. I've got my sleeping bag and a big estate so first chance I get I'm bombing back up and having a good explore. I really enjoyed the day out and the day in (we did photoshop the second day). One of the highlights was the fish and chips at the Real Food Cafe at Tyndrum. Superb.

Fantastic, Mark. 13 months, eh? So I've still got 12 months of SLR ownership to reach your standard!

Hi nice pics, but never mind the sleeping bag and estate car try the CLACHAIG INN, a friday or saturday night is an experiance

Nobody is perfect, but being Scottish is a start

Cheers again folks.

The Inn looks good - But its £40+ a night. I'll be on the move before dawn. Easier to park up nearby and spend the cash on a bit of a meal and a small bottle of beer.

Been playing with another shot from the trip. Still trying mono as I really like it but just need to work out how best to do it. Still on square crops. Not sure if I should cut this one down a bit but really like the sky.
