Walk in Glen Trool and a Photography Day

Yesterday we walked in Glen Trool in Galloway. It was mainly a grey day but I managed a few waterfall photos. More importantly no rain!

I took a shot on my phone of Merrick, the highest peak in the area, from beside Loch Trool. It was well snow covered,  see photo.

Today was mostly sunny so we decided to make it a photo day. Started with Dumfries then down to Kirkcudbright followed by Brighouse Bay and Kippford. I walked out the half mile to Rough Island from Kippford even though tide only 2.5 hours from high.

Finished the day with a curry and a couple of pints at Wetherspoons in Dumfries.

Edinburgh Blizzards, Dumfries Rain

We had bad weather for pretty much the whole time that we were in Edinburgh. Rain and sleet to start with then snow, well blizzards actually. Not many photos as difficult to keep the rain and snow off the lens with the wind behind it.

Took a few last night but no idea if usable. Lost last 2 shots as Mamiya 7 camera closed shutter before end of exposures. It wasn't the cable release so I guess it's time for a service.

Today we left Edinburgh before the forecast heavy snow arrived. We just got through the road from Edinburgh before we heard on the radio that it was blocked by snow.

Now in Dumfries and we are back to rain. No photos here yet. Walking the hills tomorrow for some exercise. Fingers crossed for better weather.
