That feeling when you visit a location that you were just passing by and the photographic opportunity is to good not to let it pass you by. That is what happened when traveling to ClenCoe.

As we are driving up over the Huntly to Dufftown road, I know a spot that offers a great view of Ben Rinnes, the jewel of Morayshire. The morning light was perfect and with the first signs of snow drifting across just made that more special.

My passion for the Faroe Islands keeps growing, even after 6 years of visiting. This was the first time I visited and photographed Tindhólmur & Drangarnir and to be with other like minded photographers, it was incredible.

I have always been fascinated with woodland photographers. especially the likes of Simon Baxter. I was down in Loch Garten and wondering the woodland area with Alyce Bend (from the US).

I find woodland photography frustrating but I love the challenge of trying to make a calming scene out of what is often very busy and distracting.

For years I have been wanting to visit Iceland but always held back due to the increasing tourism and horror stories of other photographers but in September I had the opportunity to visit for 3 days . I only wanted to visit 1 location and spend most of the trip there and that was Vestrahorn.

02:25 am! That is the time that my alarm clock (phone) started making that horrible racket. I’m wake this early as Steve is coming to my house in 45 minutes and I still need to get the rest of my gear ready.

I have just completed my second photography Adventure and to day I am happy with the outcome is an understatement, even when the weather turned for the worse!
