About

My Photography

Photography is very special to me and means many
things.
It's challenging. I closely watch weather patterns to capture a moment at the right time in the right light and I'll return to a location many times until I capture the right moment, sometimes sitting and waiting until the light works it's magic.
It's adventurous. In many ways setting off on a photographic shoot with no particular place in mind and finding some amazing scenes and eyecatching objects en route is exciting, always new things to see and find.
It's calming and peaceful and combines well with my passion for nature and the outdoors and my love of walking.
Lastly it's enjoyable and fun, never a chore or hard work.

My Inspirations

My inspiration comes from the stunning landscapes and beauty which surround us in the Highlands of Scotland, something I never take for granted.
I also aspire to the great Ansel Adams, an absolute master of his time. Joe Cornish and his wonderful landscape books also give me inspiration.

My Equipemt

Nikon D2X digital Camera body with Nikon 12-24 wide angle lens, Nikon 24-120 VR zoom lens and Nikon 2.8 105 macro lens.

I use softwear to download my photographs, resize and convert to Black and White but I don't manipulate the photographs in any other way. What you see in the images is exactly what I saw when I captured the moment.

My Work and Goals

Being in the fortunate position of no longer having to go out to work every day I can devote a lot of time to my photography. Weather and lighting conditions dictate times I go out but I aim to be out most days at some point and at least 2-3 full days a week, sometimes more!
My goal? well there isn't one really. As long as I can pick up my camera and get out there and capture as much beauty as I can that I can share with the viewer, if one enjoys what one see's then my goal is complete, after all there are always two people involved in every good photograph.........the photographer and the viewer!
