Photography
I tend to carry a camera with me everywhere I go. Since this website currently focuses on hillwalking, many photographs never make it on. This section intends to fill that gap. It gives me somewhere to put random bits and pieces I want to show the world, including a couple of movies too in the form of time lapse. It is another section that still has to grow, when time permits.
		Radio Waves February 2010	Photography in alternative wavelengths of light... This proved to be a very interesting and unique project. More on this soon...
		Eclipsed Moon 31st December 2009	I brought the camera out to try shooting this 1-in-100 year occurrence: a partially eclipsed Blue Moon. A Blue Moon is the thirteenth full moon in a year (there's usually 12 annually) and this happened at the same time as Earth's shadow passed across the bottom right hand corner of the Moon.
		Noctilucent Clouds 18th June 2009	Between 1am and 2.40am on 18th June 2009, I set up my camera on a tripod looking to the northern skies to shoot 406 long exposure images that went towards a time-lapse showing the movement of noctilucent clouds. Good results, but made a mess of exposure.
		Clearing Ants 10th June 2009	Having uncovered an ant colony beneath a paving slab in our garden, I took a time-lapse as the eggs disappeared, carried away one by one. It's not the cleanest time-lapse, but nonetheless cool to watch the eggs disappear.
		Campsie Fells by Night 9th + 11th February 2009	At the beginning of 2009, I developed an interest in photography and decided to try out my new skills by photographing the Campsie Fells and surrounding area by night. The moon was out, and snow was on the ground. I'd heard that walking in the snow under moonlight is almost like being in the daylight so bright is the light being reflected and I travelled out to a small hill outside Glasgow with camera and tripod in hand.
