Misty Loch Rusky

A very interesting All nighter with Simon Wooton which began up on Loch Lomond photographing the stars / Milky Way then heading down to Loch Rusky for a dawn shoot with boats in the mist. When we arrived at Rusky it was around 3.00am and we decided to try some Astro over the loch. We were unaware that the fishing hut had been leased out to fishermen for the weekend, when they heard us one came charging out of the shack, wearing an old white shirt and a pair of white long johns which reminded me of old cowboy movies all he really needed was a Winchester or a shotgun to make the picture complete. He made the false assumption we were breaking into their cars. We tried explaining we were photographers however to a fisherman taking pictures at 3.00am in the dark didn’t seem to warrant a plausible explanation, however after seeing the cameras and tripods he went back to sleep.

Around 7.00 the fishermen emerged from shack demanding to know “ which of you B’strds woke us up! ” Fortunately now there were numerous photographers onsite and no one was owning up. Definitely one my most memorable photography trips so far.
