Looking Back

It has been a bit of a grey couple of days and work has meant there have been no opportunities to get any new shots so I thought I would look back at a few of my older ones, some of which have been scanned from slides, so that is going back a while.

This old photo of Suilven in Assynt was taken when I was still a student, one fine evening when the light was special.  We were camping at Achmelvich and had been up Quinaig that day.  During the evening I went for a bit of a walk, nearly 6 miles in the end, what it is to be young when going up a hill like that doesn't end up with you knackered for a couple of days afterwards, never mind going for a walk in the evening.  The shot was taken on a 35mm film camera, I can't remember for sure which one but it was probably my old Praktika.  I usually used Fujichrome or Kodachrome slide film.  This digital image was created from the original slide using a lens attachment on my Fuji Finepix S5500, which is no longer working.  Not bad for such an old slide.

I may do this a bit with some of my favourite shots from time to time when I haven't got any new ones.

The map shows where I took the photo from, not the location of Suilven.
