The Solway Firth and Buttermere shot with a 1968 Hasselblad 500C and Distagon C T* 4/50.
Will continue photographing the Solway Firth with this camera followed by trips to Duncansby Head and Assynt in Scotland to photograph sea stacks. Planning to produce a series of 8 x 8 inch platinum/palladium prints from the results.

Awesome shot!
Thank you, Louise! Looking forward to reading more about your travels.
Fantastic images love the tone, light and shadows in these. Great post!
Thanks Euan!
I always enjoy visiting the Solway Firth. The light is very special there, although it can be windy and difficult to photograph!
Lovely pictures and I’m sure they’ll make amazing platinum/palladium prints…
Cheers Thodoris, much appreciated!

I’ll be spending 3 weeks in Scotland photographing sea stacks. The Solway Firth is close to home so I’m there regularly; hoping to post more images soon.
Awesome awesome pictures!

I love what you are doing look forward to more posts
Thank you. Will enjoy seeing more of your work.
Beautiful work. Shall I expect a photo of the Old man of Stoer soon?
Thanks for commenting, Estelle. Yes, I’ll be visiting the Old Man of Stoer and the lighthouse nearby later this year.
Last time I tried to photograph sea stacks (Isle of Skye) it was so windy I could barely stand up. Hoping for calmer weather this time round!
The problem is we never know what the weather is going to be like in Scotland! Best wishes, Estelle.
The first photo looks amazing, well done Simon! 🙂
Cheers Diogo, much appreciated 🙂
My pleasure! 🙂
beautiful images, particularly the first!
Thanks for your comments, Michael. I’m pleased you like the images.
Both have a lovely warmth. These make me want to dust off my 503 CX.
Thanks John. Yes, they’re great cameras to work with.
stunning series !
Cheers Victor! I’ve just returned from my photography trip to Scotland, so will be kept busy scanning negatives from the Hasselblad.
