Butt of Lewis, Outer Hebrides
At the furtherest point of the Outer Hebrides archipelago lies the Butt of Lewis. An isolated spot on an isolated island on what feels at times as the edge of world, as the next stop west is North America. With poor light and stormy seas I opted to use a...
Abandoned House and Kettle, Lochskipport, South Uist, Outer Hebrides
The photographer Paul Strand spent some 5 months in and around South Uist documenting the people and the land, which can be seen in his book "Tir A'Mhurain: The Outer Hebrides of Scotland". During his stay he took a photograph of this house and the outcrop behind it...
Boat and Stone, Loch Ra, Achnahaird, Scotland
With darkness falling on the shores of Loch Ra near Achnahaird in the Highlands of Scotland, I reached for my camera and took this photograph. With the failing light the turquoise of the boat was almost luminescent in the dusk and with the rock already on the boat, I...
50 Shades of Grey, Hosta Beach, North Uist
I don't usually "do" seascapes, probably down to the fact that living in Sheffield I'm probably about as far from the coast as you can get in the UK. The weather in July in the Outer Hebrides was not great. When we arrived at Hosta Beach in North Uist there was cold...
Stranger on the Shore – Seilebost from Luskentyre
The weather in July 2016 in the Outer Hebrides was far from conducive for a family holiday (or for photography for that matter (3rd wettest and 4th dullest in record apparently). So when it wasn't raining it was over cast - but this did lead to some lovely subdued...
Quadrathon, Luskentyre, South Harris
Away from the lovely sandy beaches at Luskentyre on Harris in the Outer Hebrides, at the end of the road, beyond the beach there lies a fort, a wheel house, a blackhouse and this unusual rock arrangement. I'm sure its the Victorian's having a giggle at our expense,...
Loch Ra and Boat at Dusk
Taken as night approached on the shores of Loch Ra near Achnahaird in the North West Highlands of Scotland. The weather had been horrid throughout the past two weeks (and continued to be so!) Making use of the elements I chose to go for a long exposure to...
Say Something
With a new day job that requires my full attention (and more), coupled with increasing calls on my home time amongst other things, I took the decision to update my digital equipment to something a little more "current". This is to supplement/replace my workhorse...
Barn above Monsal Dale
I went for a walk last week from Ashford in the Water in the Wye Valley over to Monsal Head and back round to Ashford in the Water via Monsal Dale last week. As ever the Peak District weather was never quite settled as to whether it was going to rain or not. In the...
Floral Form
I don't usually "do" flowers, I feel sometimes it is seen as being the easy option when creating photographs. That said, I took the opportunity to walk around the local allotments to see if I could approach things differently. Photography friends know that I do like...
Ties to the Land XXX – Number 27, Moors above Sheffield
Field Notes On open moorland above the Wyming Brook within the city limits of Sheffield, I found this rock. I had heard of these before, but never came across one myself. These carved rocks are small reservoirs for game birds like grouse to drink from. Across the...
Waterfall Swallet
Waterfall Swallet (or Swallett) is a small and easy to miss to waterfall hidden the the Peak District between the famous plague village of Eyam and Foolow. This was a 14 minute exposure using a Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera.
