Description
I used to visit the Campsie�s on a regular basis when I was a young boy growing up in Scotland, but it had been some twenty years before visited again with my camera in September 2013. I had been looking to get a reasonably high spot to take in the sunset over the Scottish Lowlands / Central Belt area, and felt that the Campsie Fell hills presented a perfect opportunity to get it.
My memory of the area wasn�t so sharp though, I found myself scaling the side of the hills to get a good vantage point, seriously exposing my lack of fitness in a relatively short climb. However, i tend to think that the rewards were worth the effort, and this little nook on the hill presented a perfect foreground.
Once set up, I set there for a good half an hour waiting on the sun to set to the point were it was just about to disappear over the mountainous horizon. I had a number of sheep to keep me company as I ran through a series of 9 shot HDRs.
