We’ve just returned from a family holiday in West Scotland. We were staying near Oban and the scenery was so spectacular I simply couldn’t leave my camera alone. This photograph of a waterfall is just one of many images I took during our stay.
I increased the exposure time for this image to blur the water as it ran over the falls. I’ve used this technique many times in the past, but generally with greater success at night time.
The picture was taken while Mrs Adams and I took the kids out for a walk near Loch Etive. It was a beautiful spot and I like the way you can see the water tumbling over the rocks.
If you want to see more landscape images taken during our stay, you might want to pay a visit to my Instagram account. I’ll also be publishing a few more images from our stay on the blog in the very near future.

Doesn’t Scotland sound amazing? I love the freezing of the water and have been loving the photos on Instagram.
Thank you for linking up
Glad you’ve been enjoying the Instagram pics! West Scotland is particularly photogenic. You’d love it up there.
Wow, it really does look beautiful there. Glad you all had a good holiday.
It was stunning Sarah. It’s such a dramatic landscape.
Love this shot, I enjoying taking water photos myself #MySundayPhoto
Thanks Mary. I was hoping to get one of two images of the landscape reflected in a loch as well, but sadly, it wasn’t sunny enough.
Now I want to go walking round Loch Etive, heading to Instagram now …….
I see you did head over to Instagram! Loch Awe is also a delightful spot if you ever find yourself in the area.
Scotland is just so stunning. Hope the midges were ok! #mysundayphoto
Didn’t get bitten by midges once. Surprising how much time I spent outside.
So beautiful and dramatic!
Thanks Karen, glad you found it beautiful.

The scenery in Scotland is just stunning….

Yes, the scenery, especially in West Scotland is just amazing. My camera didn’t get a break at all.
I love a waterfall too. Great for practising photography techniques.
Oh yes Emma, it gave me the ideal excuse ot try different techniques.
That’s a stunning shot of the waterfall. What a beautiful spot. Hope you had a lovely holiday 🙂
We had a great break Louise. It was also a marvellous and very photogenic spot.
Fab pic. I dont find getting a long exposure photo in daylight easy at all!
It is very difficult. Truth is, I still don’t think it is quite correct in this pic but it’s not far off.
What a wonderful shot, I love the water. Looks like you had a fab holiday, can’t wait to see more pics. #MySundayPhoto
More pics coming soon Tara, don’t you worry!
