SubscribeDay 5 had us climbing steeply up to about 300 metres with occasional views back along Loch Ness. This was my favourite landscape of the whole walk and it needed my 70-300mm lens to pick it out. The path has a lot of forestry and it is difficult to get a clear, unobstructed view, but...
Day 3 starts from Laggan Locks and takes the path by Loch Oich. This is reckoned by some to be the most visually pleasant part of the walk. The light was really flat this day and so this picture doesn’t do justice. A railway line used to run here, but it never quite connected Fort...
Sorry about the thin posting since my session with Sarah Jane and Paul. It’s just as well I did that when I did as I was away all the following week walking the Great Glen Way between Fort William and Inverness (73 miles) and the day I was travelling back Sarah Jane delivered! The way...
Sarah-Jane and Paul from my last post had a baby boy last Sunday. Mum and little laddie doing well I hear. Can’t wait to catch up with them again!
Just before I went on holiday last week I met with one of my “100 portraits” subjects and her partner. Sarah Jane is expecting and wanted some pre-natal shots before the birth; I have to say I am extremely honoured to be asked and delighted that they are letting me post these for my blog...
Yesterday I had the most fabulous afternoon. I had a holiday from work and spent it taking some photographs of a wonderful artist and lovely woman. Karen does some stunning original art in glass and I strongly urge you to take a look at her work on the web. Karen sandblasts her patterning and designs...
This is Kat from my portrait project last year. I loved photographing her. She was so warm and easy to work with. This would have been my 2nd choice. I know that she likes black and white, so for fun I left the background colour in from her window overlooking Kelvingrove park but desaturated her...
I have been meaning to post this for ages. This is the December edition of “Homes and Interiors Scotland”. Two of my 100 portraits subjects are running this amazing little deli in Dennistoun in Glasgow. Gillian asked me to take some pictures for their article, and so I spent a pleasant hour drinking coffee and...
I’m actually quite pleased with this one. Everyone has a favourite local landscape I’m sure and this is mine. This walk is perhaps 2 miles from where I live and although it’s accessible by (muddy) footpaths, it really is hidden away from the roads. The tower has a lot of different aspects and in fact...
Just a quick one from our walk up the hill behind Howwood on Thursday evening. The light was very low as the sun had gone down, but it did have a lovely quality about it. It seemed to make the grass unnaturally green. The LX3 was in my pocket and I tried a snap of...
