This post marks the 750th entry in my photography blog, and three-quarters of the way to one thousand has a nice, significant sounding number to it. While I on occasion may wistfully dream of more traffic to my blog, I immediately rebuke myself; it’s not the most important thing. It’s about creating a body of work that I can very occasionally feel proud of (although I’m always only one bad roll of film away from scorning myself as a photographer but that’s another issue.)
Today’s image was taken at the Ring of Brodgar, a stone circle located in the Orkney islands in Scotland. Older than Stonehenge, this place makes you think about time and permanence.

Great dramatic tone and contrast here. The wide angle really accentuates the starkness of the landscape and the sense of place.

Beautiful. You really know how to use that wide angle lens! And here I am thinking that 28mm is wide. 😉

Yes, I know. I guess I should get the conversion plate for 65mm with the Travelwide (yes, there was an update from them recently!) and give it a try, too.
