SAS Memorial

A couple of shots of the SAS Memorial near Doune

The statue itself is of Colonel Sir David Stirling founder of the Special Air Service.

I'll certainly stop by when I've a bit more time to do it justice as it has a lot of potential but here's a few I've had a play around with.

The problem is the height of the figure as there is nowhere where you can photograph it without having anything other than sky as a backdrop which is a shame as getting higher would allow you to get him looking out with the mountains also in frame. There are lot of names on brass plaques on the ground within the stone circle as well as 'Who dares Wins' emblems and a large main brass plaque. Again a higher viewpoint is needed.

I might stick the step ladders in the car LOL

Re: SAS Memorial

Well captured Phil, I think number 1 is my favourite, the moody sky blends so well with his duffel coat.
