How I Photographed Scotland
I’ve been back from Scotland for a few weeks now, and I wanted to take this opportunity to summarize how I photographed the country, including which gear I used most and what film simulation I used. I also want to examine how many final images came from the RAW files and how many were JPEGs. I was heavily debating bringing the Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-105mm and the 70-200mm as I knew I would be taking photos of vast areas and would like to zoom in on details and isolate my framing.
A Scotland Summary and What to Expect
Our week-long adventure exploring Scotland’s landscapes spanned about 1,000 kilometres, making stops in cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh and scenic spots including Glencoe, Fort William, Inverness, and the Isle of Skye. The journey through Scotland offered various experiences and sights, from the towns to the countryside. If you’re planning a visit, here’s a glimpse into what you could expect from Scotland.
Photographs from Scotland
The 2020 Scotland trip, revised for 2024, finally happened. I’m working on a post about our experiences in Scotland and what to expect if you plan on visiting, but in this post, I wanted to share some of the photos I captured from Scotland and the background of each one. Overall, I wasn’t feeling it at first. I’m used to that, as it can take a while to become focused.
