Walking Far

@walkingfar

How far? you may ask. Well, sometimes not that far. Taking a few steps off the well trodden path in even the busiest of places can give a very different perspective. Trying to capture a little of that in my photography. (Media Tab below has my photos only)

Sailing past Lismore Lighthouse on Eilean Musdile, viewed from the paddle steamer Waverley after leaving Oban, #Scotland #ECK #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Monochrome #photography #travel #landscapephotography #lighthouse

A dramatic black and white photograph of Lismore Lighthouse (Eilean Musdile) off the coast of Oban, Scotland, captured from the water. The stark white lighthouse tower and its walled keeper's cottages sit on a low, rocky islet in the midground.

There be pirates ahead.... well not really, the all jumped ship and went ashore in Atrani for lunch. Even pirates have to eat well sometimes...🏴‍☠️☠️ #ECK #classicmono #photography #amalficoast #italy #travel #seascape #minimalism #monchrome #blackandwhite

Loved your image. It had an amazing minimalist painterly feel to it. The gallery is a lovely space so will definitely be visiting it regularly. Was a real treat to see a print from a BlueSky photographer displayed locally!

Stumbled across this amazing place in St Monans, Fife, #scotland. Massive collection of cameras from across the years. Original collector no longer with us. Now run by two very friendly and informative curators. If you’re in the area, well worth a visit. #photography #ECK #travel #cameras

The paddle steamer Waverley berthed opposite 2 of CalMac’s finest in Oban #Scotland on a glorious Scottish evening. #ECK #eastcoastkin #classicmono #photography #travel #monochrome

A black-and-white photograph capturing a misty harbor scene in Oban, Scotland. In the foreground, the stern of the historic paddle steamer PS Waverley is docked at the pier, with its name and port of registry, "WAVERLEY GLASGOW," clearly visible in bold lettering. A thick mooring rope stretches from the vessel to a weathered metal bollard on the wet concrete pier. A flag on a tall staff flies near an old-fashioned ship's wheel on deck. In the mid-ground, two large CalMac car ferries are docked at adjacent piers, including the Isle of Mull. The background features a steep, densely wooded hillside dotted with coastal houses, all partially shrouded in a soft, overcast mist.

This pedestrian bridge spanning the river Clyde in Glasgow between Govan and Partick created some dramatic angles when viewed from below. #UrbanGaze #ECK #classicmono #eastcoastkin #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #Scotland

Ghostly Echoes from the past - Visited the Fairfield Heritage Museum which tells the story of shipbuilding in #Govan. It's located in what was the headquarters of Fairfield Shipbuilding Company. #ECK #classicmono #eastcoastkin #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #travel #Glasgow #Scotland

The polished wooden floors reflect the bright lights, creating a long trail of highlights down the center of the frame.

The Port Glasgow Perch - Take 2 Previously posted a version of this which had hazy hills between sea and sky. Wanted to try more minimalist look so have removed the hills giving more 'arty' feel (hopefully!) #ECK #classicmono #eastcoastkin #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #travel #Scotland

A long-exposure, black and white photograph of a solitary, checkerboard-patterned lighthouse standing in the middle of a calm, misty sea. The water and sky blend seamlessly into smooth, horizontal gradients of gray, creating a minimalist and serene atmosphere. The lighthouse is the central focal point, reflecting slightly on the still surface of the water.

These trees stood out in the bog looking like wishbones reflected in the murky water... #ECK #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #photography #Scotland #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #Nature

A vertical black-and-white photograph of a swampy woodland. Several leaning, textured tree trunks dominate the foreground, their dark forms reflected clearly in a still pool of water below. The background is filled with a dense thicket of bare branches. Sunlight glints off the surface of the water between the dark reflections, creating a high-contrast, moody scene.

#PostProcess #TonalShift Thanks for the Challenge! All Lightroom - Took overall exposure down Luminance mask to raise exposure on brightest rocks Darkened sky /linear gradient Cropped to emphasize rock structures left and center plus some basic tonal adjustments #ECK #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono

A high-angle, black-and-white photograph of the Grand Canyon. The image captures the vast scale of the canyon with dramatic lighting that emphasizes the jagged ridges and deep shadows of the rock formations. In the distance, a flat horizon line meets a clear sky, while a winding trail is visible in the darker foreground. The high contrast between the brightly lit plateaus and the shadowed crevices highlights the geological layers and textures of the landscape.

The Port Glasgow Perch. My first attempt at a long exposure with ND filter. The sea wasn’t very rough and the sky was hazy so the effect wasn’t too dramatic but was interesting to give it a try. #classicmono #eastcoastkin #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #travel #Scotland

A black and white long-exposure photograph of a small, checkered lighthouse standing in the middle of a calm body of water. The water has a smooth, misty appearance from the long exposure. In the background, rolling hills and a distant coastline sit under a soft, streaky sky. The lighthouse is the central focal point, painted in a dark and light block pattern.

Before the crush. I was tempted to take these home with me but managed to resist 😀 #classicmono #eastcoastkin #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #travel

A close-up, black and white photograph of a dense cluster of ripe grapes hanging from a vine in a vineyard. The grapes are in sharp focus, showing fine details of their skin and a few water droplets, while the background of vine rows is softly blurred into a bokeh effect. A large, veined grape leaf is visible in the lower right foreground.

A view of the Tuscan countryside from a little path outside Monteriggioni. The foliage from the trees made a nice frame for the scene with the path and fence leading down to the buildings. #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #Italy #Travel #Landscape

A black and white photograph of the Tuscan countryside near Monteriggioni, Italy. A path leads toward a wooden fence overlooking a valley of rolling hills and trees. A small stone building is visible in the distance. The entire scene is framed by the dark, overhanging branches and silhouettes of large trees in the foreground, creating a natural vignette. The sky is bright with soft, scattered clouds.

Inside the Kelpie Mothership... #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Photography #Scotland #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Monochrome #Travel

A black and white, vertical photograph looking directly up into the complex internal steel framework of a Kelpie sculpture. A dense network of industrial pipes, girders, and cross-beams creates a symmetrical, geometric pattern that tapers toward the top. Light filters through the gaps in the outer steel plates, creating a high-contrast, mosaic-like effect against the dark structural skeleton. A narrow ladder runs vertically through the center of the frame.

Close encounters of the Kelpie kind... Seen from this angle, directly underneath, this Kelpie loses its horse head and looks more like it comes from another galaxy. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Photography #TheKelpies #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Architecture #Monochrome #Alien #Scotland
