17th September 2005

This attractive boathouse is situated about 20 miles south of Braemar in the Glenisla valley, convenienly within 30 minutes hike of one of my good friends' cottage.

While spending a week at Glenisla I was determined to get in one sunrise shot of the boathouse, despite the fact it would mean rising at 4am.

I am very glad I did as the light that morning was fantastic, the wind was very calm with almost no breeze and a cold chill in the air created lovely mist over the water.  I sorely wish I had organised more 4x5 film as the light got better and better over the following 2 hours and I soon had to swap to shooting digitally.  This, however, is a scan of the 4x5 transparency I did manage to "bag".
