Linlithgow Palace
A solitary duck creates a ripple on the cold still water of Linlithgow loch.







River Forth

The moon lights up the sky over the Forth rail bridge casting a beam of white light over the dark water.







Forth rail bridge
Snow blankets the banks of the Forth estury, this is a very unusual sight as snow rarely lies so close to the salty water.

Scotland in Pictures
Low light photography

This section is dedicated to low light and night photography.
As you will see the Forth bridges are one of my favorite subjects, I am amazed at the different moods that can be achieved controlling aperture and shutter speeds, I could keep going back to the same spot and never get the same result,the ever changing Scottish weather makes sure of that.
