So, Where have I been these last few months?

I know some of you have been wondering where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to all summer and autumn as I haven’t been blogging or Tweeting much or updating my Scot-image Facebook Page either. Well, I’ve hardly picked the camera up since our trip to Tiree in June/July, just a few family and [...]

PLUS Registry ID

I’m hopeful that the PLUS Registry will be the future for photographers, distributors and image users. I now have a PLUS ID – 01-AA-641.

Tiree

We are just back from Tiree where we had a wonderful week’s family holiday. Yes, I took the camera along but photography was put aside for a while – sometimes it’s just nice to chill. However, I did make an effort a couple of times to try and capture some of the island’s amazing coastal [...]

Puffins – Fratercula arctica

Puffins, I just love them. They are great birds to photograph or to just sit back and watch – you can get really close too! To give them their proper title, they are Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula artica) and they can be found in various places around the Scottish coast during their breeding season. On a [...]

Rannoch Moor tree

It is with a certain amount of sadness, OK, I’m gutted, that I have to report that a tree on Rannoch Moor that has appeared in many of my pictures over the years has succumbed to the strong winds blasting across Scotland this week. As reported and photographed by DuncanDisorderly on the talkphotography.co.uk forums this [...]

Torridonian Sandstone, Lewisian Gneiss boulder

Whilst wandering around the Bay of Stoer in Assynt, Sutherland, I stumbled across this Lewisian Gneiss boulder lying on the red Torridonian Sandstone bedrock. The contrast appeals to me.
