Scurdie Ness Lighthouse – Coastal Photography in Montrose, Scotland

Drone photograph of Scurdie Ness Lighthouse on the Montrose coast, built in 1870 to prevent shipwrecks near the River South Esk.

Built in 1870 after numerous shipwrecks, Scurdie Ness Lighthouse stands at the mouth of the River South Esk, guiding vessels safely along the east coast of Scotland.

Photographed in freezing conditions, these images show the tower against clear skies, highlighting the engineering that still defines the Montrose shoreline today.

Scotland’s lighthouses remain some of the most practical yet visually striking coastal landmarks. This shoot adds to my ongoing series on maritime structures.

The Importance of Revisiting a Site – Photography Practice in Scotland

Photography series showing the importance of revisiting locations in Scotland, capturing how changing light and weather affect results.

Returning to familiar locations often produces new results. Light, weather, and season all change, meaning a second or third visit can reveal details that weren’t there before.

This series shows how repeat visits create variety. The same place shifts character depending on the conditions, offering new compositions and perspectives.

Revisiting sites is part of my regular approach, ensuring subjects are documented in different moods and at different times. It keeps even familiar places fresh.

Loughrigg fell

Good morning,

Here are some images taken from an evening camp up Loughrigg Fell.

Loughrigg Fell is a hill in the central part of the English Lake District. It stands (Elevation 335m) on the end of the long ridge coming down from High Raise over Silver How towards Ambleside, and is separated from its neighbours by the depression of Red Bank.

Have you ever solo camped? I would love to see your photo.

Hello,

I hope that you have had a good week.

Today i wanted to share a quick comparison.

The above images were taken litteraly two weeks apart. On both occasions i was very lucky on the weather front.

If you have not yet been, i strongly recommend a trip up Helm Crag in the Lake district.

Out of all the hikes there, this is regarded as one of the easiest.

Even with all your camera and camping kit.

Hope that you have a good weekend.

Lee
