Work today involved a visit with Steve Carter to Plexus Media at Cromarty to discuss our Crofting Education website.  The ligth on the way through was aboslutely wonderful but due to timing I didn't feel like I could justify any photo stops.  That being said I did take my new Intrepid camera with me with a very specific target in mind.  I wanted to try, on my way home, to get a shot of a lovely stand of birch trees just outside Contin.  The shots above were taken at the same spot as I took my first ever photo with the new 4x5 film camera.  I am not sure hw the large format image will come out but it will be black & white.  I did find it ver difficult to sort out the focus as the image on the ground glass was not enormously bright, maybe a better dark cloth is needed, but I tried a bit of tilt to maximise he depth of focus and it will be intersting to see how it comes out.  These images will act as a good comparison when I get the film printed.

On the way home I also stoped just east of Achnasheen to photofraphy an old ruined house that has often attracted my interest.  Today the low light in the west was creating a lovely soft tone and the sky was interesting too.  The two images below are the result.  For the second one I opted for a sepia tone as I felt it was in keeping wth the image and I also added a bit of grain.  Any comments welcome.
