Been desperate to take advantage of the cracking late summer weather and do an early shoot at the coast, but between family and work commitments,have struggled to fit it in...
Had a window of opportunity this week... checked the forecast and tide tables on Wednesday... all looked promising. Woke at 4.30am on Thursday... jumped up & looked out at the sky... stars... aaah game on! :-)

Stopped off at St Andrews on the way home from Leuchars air show yesterday, in the hope I'd catch the sun going down, and wasn't disappointed. Summer's putting in a late appearance in Scotland, with some really fantastic weather at long last..
This is a 30sec exposure looking towards the ruins of St Andrews Castle. More info here...
Took way too many shots at the airshow yesterday... a victory of quantity over quality and completely demotivated myself with the amount of shots I now have to sort through. So what better way to get things back on track than a good old fashioned sunset :-)

In danger of sounding like a stereotypically moaning Scotman (think Victor Meldrew), but can not believe the amount of rain we've had recently.
Landscapes aren't an option at the mo, so this one's from a month ago... and is photographic evidence that at least one day felt like summer in 2009 :-)
This is as close to a selfie as I'll ever do. Long exposure on the self timer, running into shot at top speed (perhaps not the cleverest thing to do in twilight, on an uneven causeway, at high tide, on my own, at 4am in the morning) hmmmm.....
Dedicate this one to the talented Devilineden who's been a long time supporter and left a fab testimonial for me.

Early rise from last week...
If any of you remember the cult TV show, Monkey, the title character was, "born from an egg on a mountain top"... well that egg has turned up on the shores of the forth... :-)
Look at the opening credits and tell me I'm wrong...

Another early start to get on location before the sun yesterday morning. Went with the intention of shooting the causeway at Cramond, but tide was too far in, so moved on round the coast. This is a long exposure, taken about 30mins before the sun came up.
A beautifully calm and peaceful morning - had a smile on my face for the rest of the day.
