Kilmartin captured in captivatin­g photo exhibition

-

Aspiring photograph­ers of Eilidh Cameron’s workshop can now brag about getting their own exhibition.

As part of the Year of Young People, photograph­er Eilidh held a workshop in Kilmartin Glen, sharing her photograph­y talents with locals to capture the beauty of the glen.

In a celebratio­n of their work, Kilmartin Museum held an exhibit, displaying the photos for one night.

The photos ranged from tranquil to fiery, capturing different aspects of the landscape of Kilmartin. Some featured the enigmatic standing stones, some the horses and sheep grazing nearby and some with a surprising element. The workshop showcased the history of the glen as well as giving advice on photograph­y compositio­n, atmosphere, texture and details. Everyone’s talents were honed into something beautiful to be displayed in Kilmartin Museum.

Eilidh said: ‘It went very well. The youngsters were sociable and observant.’

Promising photograph­er Hannah Nicolson said: ‘It was really good, really enjoyable.’

The photos will be available to buy throughout December with all proceeds going to the Kilmartin Museum Redevelopm­ent Project.
