Whiteadder Reservoir

Early one morning back in June of last year I took a drive up to Whiteadder Reservoir. It's a lovely piece of land situated in the Lammermuir Hills. I remember going there with my Mum, Dad and sister when I was young and back then the drive seemed to take hours. In reality it's only about half an hour away and the drive itself is a nice one. On this particular day there was no one there except for a couple of fisherman, and when it's this quiet it really is quite idyllic.

All colour shots taken with my Mamiya 7ii and Kodak Ektar. All black and white with my Mamiya 645 Pro and Ilford HP5+. Development and scanning by Canadian Film Lab.

Pentlands & Scald Law

The day after wandering around Saltoun Woods, Craig and I went for a little jaunt around The Pentlands. We would eventually climb Scald Law, which is the highest hill in The Pentlands, but we walked around a bit beforehand and found a really great vantage point of Glencourse Reservoir where I managed to get some nice shots.

All pictures made with my Mamiya 7ii and 65mm lens. Film stocks used were Portra 400 and Delta 400.

This one was taken just a little bit along from the previous shot but I wanted to include it because of the sheep and the lovely streak of sunlight.

I was really happy with how these black and white shots turned out. Delta 400 seems like a nice film and did a lovely job of showing the sections of light and shade painting the hills of The Pentlands.

The next couple of shots are taken with my Olympus Trip 35 since I needed to finish the roll from the previous day. Such a great little camera.
