Re: What we are missing!
Here we are 14.45 on 16th July and the horizontal rain is battering against the windows. If I went down to Ayr beach, I suspect there would be at least one other idiot enjoying a walk along it.
Scotland is a great country, and if wasn't for the rain we wouldn't be able to make the water of life.

Re: What we are missing!
As much as I appreciate the scenery, had those photographers given me the cards from those shots...
there is no way that I could have PP'd those images as well as they did.

Re: What we are missing!
They only managed 15! Shame on them.
Apart from another ten great locations I can think of without trying there are Ardbeg, Bowmore, Kilchoman ....

Re: What we are missing!
well, Scotland is on my list--and I hope for the very near future--but I think the lesson from those photos is as much 'lay off the saturation slider' as 'come visit Scotland'.

I thought you were going to say, "All this, and Donald as well"!

Re: What we are missing!
Walked, climbed and sometimes just got very drunk in all those places, not a whisky drinker...
- except Staffa and Fingal's cave. There's no need for saturation, if yer up by Torridon (NW coast), especially; some of the best mountains and sunsets anywhere.
Living in God's country, it's forgivable if ye sometimes take it for granted...

Re: What we are missing!
I remember being to a number of those places. Is that what they look like when it is not overcast and rainy?
Yes, Scotland is VERY photogenic, but the weather tries very hard to mess with photographers, in my limited experience (two weeks there in August about 6 years ago now).

Re: What we are missing!
Scotland is the place that got me into photography in the first place... My camera at the time stopped working the day before I left because of the humidity, but it was totally worth it. Good memories...
