Photography Tour of Scotland - a highly illustrated talk by Ruth Grindrod
The members of Norwich & District Photographic Society were treated to an outstanding evening of photography last night when they hosted a ‘virtual presentation’ by local Norfolk photographer Ruth Grindrod who took us all on a ‘Photographic Journey to Scotland’
Starting in the Western Isles of Lewis and Harris, Ruth shared with us her image ‘Three Rocks’ taken at the Butt of Lewis which was recently the overall winner of the Scottish Nature Photography Awards as well as winner of the Sea and Coast category. What followed was a selection of superb images that were taken in the wide variety of constantly changing weather conditions that this part of the world is renowned for...!
From the Western Isles we travelled to the wild and rugged North West Coast of Scotland, including in particular the areas around Torridon and Applecross before heading to the beaches around Nairn on the Moray Forth and finally Perthshire and the autumn colours of Loch Tummel and around Rannoch.
Ruth clearly loves Scotland and she talks with great passion about the challenges of photographing this beautiful landscape in all weathers. Indeed, many her of her stunning photographs are not taken in the ‘golden hour’ around sunrise and sunset but by being out during the extreme variations in weather that Scotland throws at you including very high winds and continual driving rain.
Ruth we are all grateful to you for treating us to such a great evening and for sharing with us your knowledge and passion for landscape photography – we wish you continued success In the future.
You are always welcome at NDPS and we look forward to your planned visit next season when hopefully things have returned to normal.
The following is a selection of Ruth’s images that are shown with her permission.
