I’m getting very into my landscape photography at the moment. This is another image I took on the family’s recent visit to see the in-laws in Scotland.
The shot was taken in the lowlands of North Lanarkshire, not too far from the Campsies. It shows how rugged and bare the lowland environment is. I think you would have to be very tough indeed to farm this land.
The sheep were quite curious about my presence. I took some different shots where they came right up to me, presumably thinking I was a farmer with feed.
What’s your favourite landscape? Is it urban, rural, coastal? More to the point how do you photograph it? Although I’m enjoying taking landscape scenes I don’t find easy. I delete many more photos than I keep!

The sheep all look very interested in you! I’m terrible at photographing landscapes, but the one I always have to take photos of is the estuary at Padstow. I never tire of that.
Estuary at Padstow. I will keep that in mind!
Love how all the sheep have come over to see what you’re up to. Great photo 🙂
Yes, they were very curious.
They’re certainly having a good nose! It does look very bare behind you and agree it must be hard to farm x
Even though it was the lowlands, the land was indeed very bare. Hardly any trees at all.
The colours in this photo make me this of Australia not Scotland. Lovely shot.
that should say “think” not “this”!!
I know what you mean but I can assure you , it was Scotland.
gorgeous photo. I love to photograph landscape shots as well. Its always very hard to get the right moment when animals are in them xx
This one was more luck than design but I’m glad yo liked it.
I wish my sheep were as curious as yours – they tend to head off at great speed as soon as I turn up!
These onesd were fearless. I was quite surprised to be honest.
This is a great little video underlining the rules of composition. If you follow these rules you’ll get good photos. If you break all the rules and the photos still work it’s a GREAT photo. Love these sheep.

Thanks Kass. I shall take a look.
I love the look on their faces…kind of what is he doing here
Thank you for linking up
I don’t think these sheep get bothered much so they probably were wondering what I was doing there.
They look ready for a shearing, talking of which I need to sort out sheep out too!
I do like this photo, they look very nosey! But at the same time, I do find sheep a little bit sinister, I am not sure why.
Sinister sheep? An interesting concept.
I love macro shots. I can see details that I didnt know was there!
I am into landscape but my camera lens (and me) is good in taking them =P

Well I guess someone has to be good at taking landscape shots!
