A Highland night in of coziness with a wee dram.

It's amazing the detail still captured from this quite dark scene.

Lovely photograph. The soft lighting, the subtle fluting in the lamp have an appeal.

Was it a dark and stormy Highland night....

I know you are a talented photographer so whenever I view one of your postings I know I'm in for something good. I don't know if the K1 has the ability to elevate a photograph but I suppose that is the hope one has when making such an investment. So you and the K1 together took this shot to a level where It looks as though I could reach out & turn the light off. Fantasmastic Kerrowdown!!

Thanks.

It's quite strange as it's the bulb that actually has the fluting on it, that gives rise to the subtle pattern on the shade.

Was it a dark and stormy Highland night....

Aye the kinda night when the ghoulies are oot (Scottish for out) and we're all doomed here in the Highlands.

Your starting to make the old Kerrowdown blush with talk like this.

Aye and don't forget my “Sweetheart” (SMC Pentax-A* 85mm F1.4) as she was there too.

Fantasmastic Kerrowdown!!

Thanks.

And was the Billy Goat Blind??????

And was the Billy Goat Blind??????

Aye possibly... but up here we're more worried about Auld Nick and not Billy.

Here's the explanation...

There sat auld Nick, in shape o' beast;
A towzie tyke, black, grim, and large,

A couple of lines from Tam o' Shanter, a wonderful, epic poem from Burns.

The one I was thinking of went like this:

The night was dark and stormy
The Billy Goat was Blind
He backed into a barbwire fence
and scratched his Never you Mind!

Aye I realised that, but I thought mine was a more cultured poem.

Oh Gawd!!!!!

Oh Gawd!!!!!

Is that an agreement or not...

Quite possibly... but I've known that for quite some time now.

Lovely photo! What A-series lens did you use, the 85mm?
