in Scotland Around Bathgate – Easter Inch Moss

Having never walked the area for around 12 - 15 years I found that the old orange coloured shale bings have completely disappeared under a plethora of new growth.

I can still recall when I received my first decent camera. It was my wife’s gift to me for my 21st birthday, an Olympus OM1n. I had always been interested in photography even as a child, carrying an old Kodak box brownie amongst others but the Olympus was my introduction to SLR’s and photography freedom. I still have boxes with thousands of old photographs and slides.

It was some time later when I upgraded to a Nikon SLR. When decent digital photography arrived, I took the plunge with a Nikon D70 which would have been around 2004.

Nowadays I am still with Nikon, using a Z5 mirrorless. I still retain my D7200 as my second camera as it is still a fantastic piece of kit.
