Walking my dog in the hills overlooking the village where I live, camera in hand, I came across this view & took a random hand held shot with the beautiful Campsie Fells & Arrochar Alps in the background. I really should go back & retake the photo with a tripod next time. Maybe a snowy winter view would be nice.

An early start for a photoshoot on Loch Lomond in the Trossachs National Park for a client. Took a series of quick shots while waiting for the sun to peak over the hills in the distance!

A scenic long-exposure taken at the waterfall by Campsie Fells, Scotland (UK). If there’s one thing I admire about water the most, it’s that no matter what’s in its way, no matter how big or small the obstacle, no matter how hard it gets, it always pushes through and refuses to be stopped. It has a final destination - a goal - and it’s focused. It knows where it’s going, and it flows. And even though it may have taken a few detours or unusual paths along the way, it comes back and joins as one - it becomes whole again. Be like water, my friend (Bruce Lee).

We went on a walk to explore Devilla forest a few months after a forest fire in the area. It was a beautiful mix of burnt, dead forest with the smell of fire in the air, and vibrant new life jumping out and hiding amongst the ruins.

One of my favourite places. Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands is full of deer and beautiful landscapes. It allows you to have peace and quiet and just chill out with the most important thing to me and my photography - the great outdoors.

We visited Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands in the hope we would see a herd of deer. I managed to capture this beautiful stag while the rest of the herd grazed behind him.

This is one of the most spectacular mountain on the road towards Isle of Skye. The mountain top is treeless and I really love its texture. I will back this place in winter when the snow falling and covering it. I can imagine how fantastic it will be at that time.

This is my image of Lochan na h-achlaise in Scotland just off the A82. I was travelling in a camper van for the weekend on the search for some scenic places in my homeland and when I came across this I just had to take a photo and I am so pleased with the end result

Over an hour waiting in the freezing wind all for a brief glimpse of light on the land that lasted a mere 5 seconds. That’s what landscape photography is all about! Castle Stalker overlooking Loch Linnhe in the Scottish Highlands.

We were coming back from Glen Etive after photographing the wild deer and 2 guys were getting their kayaks ready to go into the water. I asked if I took take some videos of them with my DJI Spark and they Kindly said yes. I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to be able to get the drone in the air as it was extremely windy. Luckily I got some footage and a few photos as they went down the rapids.

It was far too windy and cold to have my camera out for more than a few seconds (I’d forgotten my gloves) and I managed to snap this by chance. Machir Bay is on the coast of Islay, Scotland, right by the Kilchoman Farm distillery. The beach was deserted, and the sun came down producing an epic effect through the clouds. I hope to go back there soon with a weather sealed camera!

You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each step isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges, this rock looks loose, the snow is closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here’s where things grow. But of course without the top you can’t have any sides. It’s the top that defines the sides.

The Scottish Highlands in the early morning, the weather wasn’t the best but the views definitely were. The clouds came rolling in over the mountains for the entirety of the journey to Fort William. The most photos I’ve taken in one sitting for sure.

Scotland is well known for its highlands consisting of lochs and mountains. However most of the time the weather there is cloudy and rainy. Upon my first visit to this picturesque place I was lucky enough to experience the scenery in this beautiful weather and managed to get a picture of this landscape with hikers in the foreground.

The Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris grampia), or Highlands tiger, is a dark coloured subspecies of the European wildcat native to Scotland. Its range previously also included England and Wales, but it became extinct in these areas, as well as in southern Scotland, within the last 150 years. Extant numbers are estimated at between 100 and 300.

I was on a trip in Edinburgh and in the Princess Streets Park i found this little mate, played with him for a solid 15 minutes and was able to shot stunning pictures of him feeding and running.

Took this photo during my trip to Edinburgh with my girlfriend. Just lov these old tall buildings and also lots of greenery everywhere. The weather was constantly changing so I was pretty lucky to take this photo before it started to rain.

During Storm Eleanor in January 2018 I went out to one of the locations they filmed Game of Thrones. It’s in Northern Ireland on the Causeway Coast. The whole shoot was a nightmare to get, being blown over, slipping and keeping water off my lenses. The shots however, capture the dark stormy story of the day. The unexpected bonus was the cloud breaking and shooting pink and purple to fight with the black.
