Capturing the Beauty of Isolation: Alone in the Dark Landscape Photography

On a windswept cliff top on the East coast of Aberdeenshire sits the imposing ruin of Slains Castle. In the daylight it is magnificent but at night with it's links to Bram Stokers Dracula a certain sense of foreboding permeates the night. And here I sit in complete darkness with only the screech of squabbling seabirds for company. An experience like no other! Join me for this short video as I try to get some nighttime shots at this wonderful location.

Beautiful shots Scott. Was definitely worth going there in the dark hours. Great video mate 👍

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Thanks Adrian, one of those places I want to keep going back too. Would love the milky way behind it or northern lights atmospheric sea fog would be great too! Will just have to move further up north😂 Thanks for watching mate👍

[@leehanley71]

Lovely images Scott 👍🏽 really like em 📸 what a setting and to think Bram Stoker looked upon that castle 😎😎

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Cheers Lee, it's a truely awe inspiring place and one that I want to go back to in different conditions. Would love to be there with some low rolling sea mist!! maybe next visit🙏👍

Fabulous images and well done for being alone 👻😊

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Thanks for watching! However rational you are it still gives you the creeps climbing a spiral staircase in a dark tower to place a light there all for a photograph!! I might try a candle next time for added affect😬👍
