What a photography TV show might look like

What a photography TV show might look like

I came across a new photographer that I’d like to recommend you follow. His name is Thomas Heaton and he is a Northumberland & the north-east based landscape photographer. One of the reasons for the recommendation is he makes the best You Tube videos on landscape photography. I don’t understand why there has never been a weekly photography TV show produced in the UK. With all the camera /…

Art and design inspired by the Hebrides

Art and design inspired by the Hebrides

When we go to the Highlands and Islands we are focussing on using our cameras to take what we aim to be inspiring images of Scotland. We are equally inspired by the art we see being produced in the locations we visit. Artists come to the west coast of Scotland  for the quality of light, ever-changing weather and the dramatic scenery ( just as we do) and many choose to stay, opening galleries and…

Fine Art Landscape Photography - Darren Cole

Fine Art Landscape Photography – Darren Cole

When we were last in Harris art spring we noticed a new gallery ( the Hebscape Gallery ) on the way in to Tarbert from North Harris. It was not open so we peered in through the window. A photography gallery and cafe was in its final throes of getting ready for the season. It is the gallery of professional photographer and tutor Darren Cole. Checking out his websitehas turned up another stunning…

Merry Christmas to all scenic lovers

Merry Christmas to all scenic lovers

We have had a busy year at work and our recent house move has meant that we have been  less active in the photography side of things, however we have still managed to look at the work of others and continue to be inspired by both their blog and picture sites.

There are two in particular deserving a mention.

The first is Wild About Scotland, which is an inspirational guide to getting around…

Inverpolly magic

Amongst an incredibly busy few months we managed to fit in a week-long trip to the magical landscape of Inverpolly in the North West Highlands. We hadn’t reckoned when we booked we would be moving house just two weeks prior. The chance to get a break from lifting and shifting stuff around was a welcome one. Despite only getting about one day out of seven without torrential rain and overcast grey…

Stuart Low is a great photography teacher

Stuart Low is a great photography teacher

I came across Stuart Low’s website when his recent blog post caught my eye via Facebook. It is about the loss of a favourite tree to photograph. His picture of it below highlights its beauty but read his blog to see its ruin. Did he give away its location by positing his image on flickr and as result unethical camping vandals got to it?

This is the breathtaking and unspoilt location on the banks…

Is Corrie the prettiest village

Is Corrie the prettiest village

We were on the Island of Arran at the weekend and it poured from the moment we got off the ferry until we got back on the next day. Arran is in the Clyde estuary and is described as Scotland in miniature with mountainous glens in the north, small satellite islands off its own coast ( the Holy Isle)  and beautiful villages.  The stand out place on this trip was the village of Corrie.

Isle of Lewis gallery update

Isle of Lewis gallery update

Its been a month since we got back from the Hebrides and I am only now getting around to updating our galleries. Check out the new additions to our Isle of Lewis gallery.

I am afraid I suffer from a football related syndrome and it induces a trance like state during the month-long World Cup in June.

This year for our annual trip to the Hebrides we stayed on the Isle of Lewis in a family friend’s…

John Ellis – Another fantastic Scottish Landscape photographer

If you love dramatic Scottish Highland scenery you will love the images on the John Ellis Photography website.

Its been a while since a new Scottish landscape photographer has caught our eye. However, Mhairi has been sharing a lot on a Facebook group for people connected to the Isle of Harris and spotted a few from John. He refers to his grandparents being from Luskentyre and vividly remembers…

This year's trip to the outer Hebrides

This year’s trip to the outer Hebrides

We have finalised arrangements for this year’s trip to the outer Hebrides. We are staying this time (the first two weeks of June) in the lochs area of the Isle of Lewis. This is new territory for us and it seems for most other people as well as there are very few images of the lochs area of the Western Isles on the internet. That won’t be the case after we’ve been there.

Loch Seaforth is a deep…
