Country walk (Callander, Perthshire)

[Peter McCullough]

Out for a country walk today with collie dog etc, 'Callander Crags' and the 'Bracken Falls', close to Callander/Doune in Perthshire. The rain was pretty horrible starting off and gradually got LOADS WORSE! Brought my Lowepro camera bag and all body/lenes. Each time I removed camera from bag it was totally drenched with the falling rain, I kept the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 MkII on the body at all times as to change lenses would have got water inside, it was bad enough trust me!! I had my Lee filter holder and three filters with me, but it was utterly pointless trying to use it as it was SO wet.

There's a photo here I've found out with the odd water droplet on it, not very pro I know, but I made the best out of an immensely WET/HORRIBLE day.

As I type this my camera bag & gear is drying out. A high iso setting was used due to dull/overcast/misty weather conditions.

Every shot has something special in it. Really nice series. Well done.

Pete did you get upto the waterfall? Last time me n Dave went the road was shut

 

[Peter McCullough]

Yes, walked right around the waterfall area ok, the roads now open and they've built a new super-duper fancy bridge. Nice ok!


Did I mention the rain today..!!!!!!!!!!

Really love the look of the mist-shrouded hill (shot #2). Great mood there, and what a view!
