CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

One of my favourite spots to visit in and around Dunbar is Doon Hill with its sweeping views of the East Lothian countryside and coastline. We made the trip up to the hill earlier today, dodging the bands of heavy rain sweeping across the coast from the west.  The fields at the top of the hill are filled with barley, which is nearly time for harvesting. As we walked up the sunlight hitting the golden crop contrasted nicely with the dark skies as the next rain front moved in. I captured a nice set of images before the rain came down using the X-T2 fitted with the 100-400mm and 50-140mm zooms plus the 90mm f2 prime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts you are helping support this blog - thank you. --------------------------------...

Textures and strong sunlight can make for some interesting photography and this was the case yesterday afternoon as we headed back to East Midlands airport to catch my flight back to Edinburgh.  A field of barley on a hillside near to village of Wilson on the Leicestershire / Derbyshire border was being lit by the low evening sun behind a copse of trees while a breeze kept making the barley move in patterns. Using the Fujifilm X-T1 and the 56mm f1.2 or 35mm f1.4 I set about capturing a selection of images.   I also used the Lee 10x ND 'big stopper' filter to slow the shutter speed down to around 1/10 second to capture some of the movement caused by the wind. Here are some of the images ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts you are helping support this blog - thank you. ---...
