A Fly Fishing Season in Scotland

Frosty the Tree

There has been some incredible weather this winter. Wild rain, freezing fog, bright sunshine and snow. One of the most memorable days was the 12th of January. I drove up through the central highlands, and took loads of photos. I thought I’d share my favourite one.

I recently got a new camera, and it’s been a bit of a beauty. Photography provides a nice distraction from winter fishing blues. I suppose taking photographs of rivers is about as close as I can get at the moment..

Very nice photo. Did you use channel mixer in photoshop to convert to B+W?

Only 3 weeks left until the trout season opens on the Welsh Dee!
Tight lines!

That’s brilliant.

I know, the season is coming… Excitement is building :)

I’ve never used photoshop in my life actually.. I’ve been experimenting recently with Lightroom, which works really nice. However, as a Nikon user I’ve been getting best results shooting RAW and converting in Capture NX. Very powerful software.

I love to photograph with old gear too. My favourite camera (I only have 3 actually) is my old Yashica 124g. Whopping great 6×6 negatives: glorious!

Thanks for the comment olli. How’s the bamboo coming along?

I’ve split and cut bamboo into 18 workable pieces… Doesn’t look like a rod just yet.
