1. Well, I was just about to say that I must be learning something because now when I look at my photo galleries I delete quite a lot. Then I read the previous comments!

   You know I do very little other than the occasional crop, Scott. I like this image, wherever it started life 🙂

   1. Well that’s great Jo thank you – all I think I am saying is my editing has moved on quiet a bit and shots that previously worked have got new life breathed in to them.

2. I am going through the America laborious process, largely because back in the day when I used Flickr exclusively and extensively, I could always find an image because the small res files on my photos team, organised into sets and tagged as I went, were a great index to my hard drive. But now I rarely post to Flickr and my internet presences are more disparate, and I can’t find things any more! It is indeed laborious but the upside is, as you say, finding or rediscovering and improving old files. Trouble is I end up spending my time working on them rather than getting on with the cataloging!

   1. PS no idea how America snuck in there.

      1. ha ha – I type but not always what I am dictating to myself lol

   2. Yes it is nigh on impossible not to go off piste and become distracted. Thus far however I am being pretty disciplined – if anything I am too backed up and could do with generating a workflow which auto backs up PSD masters and TIFF Masters.

3. Such a raw beauty… Fabulous – if you ask me 🙂

   1. Raw beauty what a fabulous phrase

4. Really beautiful, Scott. Love the colours.

   1. colours like these completely reflect the area – I love the dark sky’s and bursts of light

5. Wonderful image Scott!
   And hey, you want to come over here and help me delete some of my lousy photos? I have plenty.

   1. Yes I bet you have an amazing back catalogue – I read somewhere never delete anything but I am guilty of taking tonnes of shots and in the early days mainly as snaps – so I need to be ruthless – I will happily catalogue your photos Phil – what contractual terms are you offering 😉

6. lovely image,take care 🙂

   1. many thanks

7. Love this one, Scott. 🙂

   1. brilliant Sylvia many thanks

8. It works well Scott….a nicely composed image.

   1. cheers Mark – I couldn’t resist the roof tbh

9. Beautiful lighting and a wonderful composition. It’s a cracker, Scott, thanks for digging it out.

   1. I do enjoy coming across overlooked shots – perhaps even more than the obvious stuff – maybe it is the nervous anticipation to see if folk like it or not.

10. Love the rusty ‘tin’ roof…..I would be very happy with that. I know you have be playing with B&W recently…may be this shot could be a good conversion as an alternative.

    1. David if you would be happy with that then I most certainly am – had a wonderful full day in Torridon – getting to know it much more

11. The dark sky with illuminated foreground make this shot.

    1. Thanks that is a typical Scottish dark sky – cheers

12. I love this one, Scott. Can almost hear the wind soughing through the grass and wild flowers.

    1. Glad you are still popping on to the Blog Maggie keep watching for my Torridon shots – hot off the press

13. Rightly or wrongly, I have never deleted an image unless it’s poorly focussed. Who knows what life future software can breathe into the image.

    1. No neither have I – but I do have a lot of repeat shots which are demanding loads of space so I have decided to archive properly and the job of the moment is cataloguing and tagging – laborious at best 🙂
