Its been a while since Ive been out with my camera for many reason. But,since it was an especially high tide yesterday due to todays #autumnalequinox ,I took a trip to the coast. (reposted as I uploaded the wrong crop) #sharemondays2025 #FSprintmonday #landscapephotography #seascape #Scotland

Rattray Head Lighthouse just before sunset. I loved the colour and form of the clouds and couldn't resist shooting this scene even though I was packed up and heading off to my car. #landscapephotography #photography #Scotland #Lighthouse #Seascape

Im loving these you tube videos about where I live. youtu.be/S0seNl5dTUg?...

I got chatting to a lovely old lady today. Just one of those random encounters we all have from time to time. However it took a sudden, horrible turn whe she, unprompted, went into a racist, anti-immigration rant. She parroted all the Farage/ GBNews shite.

Out for a family meal to celebrate 2 amazing young women. Cadhla, has done amazing with her exams and got accepted to Uni and Iona has just completed her first year of college and starting her HND in "Digital Communications" this year. They have both worked bloody hard ti get where they are

Big day in the Rutherford house today. My youngest just got her exam results and crushed them. This was quickly followed by an email from her preferred University saying she's been officially accepted to their 6 year long Architecture course. Very, very proud that all her hard work has paid off.

Another of my series of images of the Excelsior wreck found on a beach in North East Scotland. Feel free to check out my other images for the hustory of this wreck. @postabdn.com #aberdeen #Scotland #landscapephotography #Seascape #photography

Aberdeen based Visions Photography Club have a great article on them in this months "Amatuer Photographer" Amazing images. Although I'm no longer involved with the club, I get a wee quote. For the full article, the magazine is available in newsagents now. #photography #aberdeen @postabdn.com

Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate. RIP Ozzy you gloriously mad, brilliant, wonderful bastard. Without you and your mates, metal as we know it wouldn't exist. 🟨 go.goodpods.com/DXI6S4 🍎 tinyurl.com/55xv2e83 🟢 tinyurl.com/3hf9f3h8

The 3rd and final of my Black and White Arbroath images i took last week. f16 180 sec ISO 100 #blackandwhitephotography #landscapephotography #photography #longexposure #Scotland #coast

The cliffs along the Arbroath coastline. 180 sec f16 ISO 100 #photography #landscapephotography #blackandwhitephotography #longexposure

"The Monoliths Of Arbroath" These are the foundations of a jetty or wall that was never completed at Arbroath Harbour. At high tide, I thought they'd make an interesting subject to shoot. f16 180 sec ISO 100 #ShareMondays2025 #fsprintmonday #photography #blackandwhitephotography #longexposure

The Tall Ships Race cane to Aberdeen last week (and will be here until the 22nd). Tis is the "Fryderyck Chopin", last years winner and this year's race leader, being led into Aberdeen Harbour by a dolphin. You'll need to zoom in to see the dolphin. @postabdn.com #Aberdeen #tallships #Scotland

Another from my "Excelsior" series of images from Rattray Head in Aberdeenshire This one is taken from a head-on perspective. I like the circle the timbers make. #photography #landscapephotography #shipwreck #Scotland @postabdn.com #Aberdeenshire

Another from my shoot of the "Excelsior " wreck in #Aberdeenshire I thought it would suit a "fine art" treatment f16 100 sec ISO 100 #landscapephotography #photography #Scotland @postabdn.com @visit-scotland.bsky.social #canon @canonuk.bsky.social #blackandwhitephotography #longexposure

I spent a morning at "Bullers Of Buchan" in North East #Scotland to see the Puffins who never disappoint. I liked this close up detail of this #Puffin mid-groom, beak amongst its feathers. #fsprintmonday #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #photography

Its been a while since I posted a new image as life has been getting in the way of pleasure. This is the wreck of "The Excelsior" which ran aground in North East #Scotland in 1881. All 12 crew were saved #photography #landscapephotography #ShareMondays2025 #Fsprintmonday

He was simply unbeatable and beautiful. And we miss him. #LiveAid.

Live on location Hopefully a decent image of a shipwreck to show you all soon

I expect you peasants to bow your heads in my presence and to be carried around on a litter.

A wee bit of my family history to entertain your day.

Best post I've read in many a day.

While researching a possible story I may write, loosely based upon my ancestral history, I found that a curse was placed upon my family in 1525 by the Archbishop of Glasgow. Its epic and far too long to post here with the rest in the ALT text I think my ancestors were a tad naughty.

Due to some various, uncontrollable but important issues I havent managed to take any new images recently so here is one from the vault This image of a groyne in the haar at #Aberdeen beach garnered 2nd place in the #Seascape Category in a competition #photography #Scotland #landscapephotography

Im proud to have an image involved in this. If your one of the 18 photographers, please get in touch with Dylan

A black and white long exposure of Lindisfarne Castle A 30 second long exposure. #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #longexposure #castle #blackandwhitephotography

Christopher Molan is filming part of his new film "The Odyssey" at Findlater Castle, Scotland, which reminded me of this image I took of that location a few years back. I could only access this viewpoint at low tide and was terrified that I'd be cut off. #photography #Castle #landscapephotography

As of right now, I have no children within the School system. Education is still ongoing with one at College and the other off to University soon. My kids are fantastic. I love having them in the house so I hope their further education is long and fruitful.

Looking through my archive, I came across this image. I did a quick process of it and present it to you all. The famous St Monans Harbour Wall. #photography #landscapephotography #seascape #Scotland

The Split Rock at Clachtoll, Scotland. I was soaked to the skin by a surprise torrential rain shower and ended up thigh deep in the sea while shooting this. But it was worth it. #landscapephotography #Scotland #photography #seascape

So proud of my Wife who did a charity walk today. She, and her colleagues, are raising money for a bus for the the kids with additional support needs that they work with at Bucksburn Academy. They've nearly quadrupled their target but still lots more to raise. www.justgiving.com/team/friends...

The view of the island of Rum from the island of Eigg. A long exposure was needed to smooth out the water so that the texture in the rocks stood out. #Seascape #photography #landscapephotography #Scotland

Happy Great King Rat Day to those who celebrate. @seasidepodreview.bsky.social #Queen youtu.be/VHC85XWII7E?...

A long exposure of Rattray Head Lighthouse in North East #Scotland. I've always loved shooting at this location. #photography #landscapephotography #Seascape ##longexposure #minimalist

The Chasm. While scouting the coast south of #Aberdeen #Scotland I came across this chasm where the tide rushed in and out. I was drawn to the green algae on the stone so used that to anchor the shot. #photography #landscapephotography #landscape ##longexposure #coast

The entrance to #Aberdeen harbour is protected to the south by this "Leading Light" that helps guide ships in. I thought a long exposure of the water over the rocks at the shoreline would look good. Settings in "alt" #thephotohour #Scotland #classicmono #photography #blackandwhite #seascape

I've always missed the short Bluebell window due to where I live as there is no significant areas of interest near me. But this year I took a trip to Kinclaven Woods near Perth. I'd love to witness this with mist or early morning light. #Bluebells #landscapephotography #photography #Scotland

Off the south coast of Aberdeen #Scotland the coast is quite rocky. I spent some time last week doing long exposures of the water going over them them. #sharemondays2025 #thephotohour #classicmono #minimalmonday #photography #blackandwhite #fsprintmonday #seascape

Oh, #waterfallwedensdays is a thing! Here is one I took a while back od the Wailing Widow Falls in #Scotland with a friend as a model (wearing my coat) for scale. #waterfall #photography #landscape #landscapephotography

Shot by my wife when she accompanied me during a recent photo shoot Does this look like I know what I'm doing? Hmm, maybe time for a diet too. 🤣

This is an old pack-horse bridge with a waterfall behind it. I wanted this image to be able to track the water from the falls, under the bridge to the rocks in the foreground, #appicoftheweek #fsprintmonday #ShareMondays2025 #landscapephotography #photography #landscape

On location shooting Bluebells. My first time as I always miss the brief Bluebell window. Fantastic conditions #bankholiday #photography #landscape #landscapephotography

There is always time for some self grooming. Shot at Bulllers Of Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotographt #birdphotography #puffin

You've seen my photos and maybe even the odd image of myself. Well, now you can hear my voice too. I recently guested on the amazing @cdmorrissette.bsky.social 's podcast "The Power Of Positive Geeking" where we talked about one of my favourite films, "Unforgiven" open.spotify.com/episode/2z3U...

A boathouse in the Lake District that I shot last year. It was a gloomy trip with the sun behind thick cloud for 90% of the week i was there. However I like the "feel" in this image despite the challenging light conditions #landscape #landscapephotography #photography #light

I feel old today My youngest child has just completed her last official day of school. Yes, she still has exams to do and, all going well, she will be starting University (studying architecture) after Summer. So her education journey continues. But this is still a momentous day.

A wee 🧵 My wife works as a "Pupil Support Assistant" in the only school in Aberdeen that supports children with ASN (Additional Suppport Needs). This varies from mild to severe disabilities. She is helping to raise funds to buy and maintain a mini bus. www.justgiving.com/page/suzanne...

Well, this was 20 years ago today. Amazingly, she still claims to love me! Happy Anniversary Babes. Thankyou for being my wife and putting up with me. God knows how you do it. I definitely got the best end of this marriage #wedding #anniversary #love

Just found out that it's #puffinday so that's worth reposting this image

My first #Puffin image of 2025. So glad that they have come back onshore near me in healthy numbers this year. #Aberdeen #sharemondays2025 #fsprintmondays #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography
