Arran is beautiful

Fours days in paradise - we spent some time last weekend in Arran. The early spring weather was outstanding and Arran is superb when the weather is right.

My video of the experience is here: http://www.vimeo.com/2​2380469

And these are some of my best shots (not all taken in the golden hour - as it was a family holiday).

Goat Fell, the highest point on Arran - as we approach on the Calmac 1425 out of Ardrossan (40 minutes from Glasgow).

Arran is known as Scotland in miniature, its a large Island 19 miles long by 10 miles wide and only 15 miles from the mainland. The pretty villages on the coastline are complimented by a rugged and mountainous interior in the north and green rolling hills and woodland in the south.

The beauty of this place even inspired my teenage girls to take an interest in photography and parts of this film features their work.

Nice set I like 3 and 5 most, definitely a place on my to go to list at some point.

Thanks you for the encouragement. It is a fantastic place to visit, just have to try and catch the weather.

What a beautiful set!

I quite like the magenta cast on #3, but don't think it works on #2. I have to say though.. That's my 1 and only crit!

Thasnks Scott for the +'ve feedback. I agree with the Magenta cast - it's a really cheap Kood warming filter and I have got to stop using it. I always end up reducing purple and magenta each time I use it - this was a 66% reduction, now I have edited it to 100%.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Beautiful, beautiful captures! The A841 view is superb.

Thank you David - gotta love that Scottish Broken cloud - it can create some lovely light. There is not much said about that coastal route (I have never heard of it) but its equal to two quite famous ones I have driven in Malubi and Victoria's Great Ocean Road.
