The Old Boating Pond - David Queenan Photography

This atmospheric image captures the timeless beauty of North Berwick’s old boating pond. Shot as a four minute long exposure and finished in cool blue monochrome, the photograph transforms the familiar coastal scene into a work of quiet abstraction. The weathered stone wall of the pond leads the eye into the distance, its clean geometric line contrasting against the silky smoothness of the sea. Beyond, the majestic Bass Rock rises from the horizon – stark, solitary, and bathed in soft light.

Printed on fine art paper, North Berwick Boating Pond, Bass Rock brings a sense of calm, space, and coastal elegance to any interior – a moment of stillness distilled from Scotland’s rugged eastern shore.

This image was Highly Commended in the Seascape category of the 2020 Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year awards.
