I was out today in the frozen Cairngorms today and took some photos in black and white and in colour. I’m beginning to enjoy the black and white more, some how you see more.  I’m just a beginner at this so any advice would be gratefully received.

Love the light in this one.

Some of these were really easy to take apart from the fact that you have to get there and avoid freezing to death.

Sometimes it’s observing the small things that makes all the difference.
