With one more week to go before the Natural Landscape Photography Awards entries close, I’m catching as much outside time as possible before secluding myself in front of a computer screen for a week while me and the team go through all of the entries.

So last week, me and Charlotte headed out to Ardnamurchan’s extinct volcano to enjoy the West Coast sunshine and get some midge-free walking, camping & climbing.
On the topic of midges, I’ve also been developing/adapting a new product to help make midges more tolerable. Head over the MidgeSpecs.net and see how they can help with those utterly hellish crepuscular moments when you’re inundated with the wee buggers, but the midge net just ruins your view of the camera.

Photography will always be exhibited in galleries but rarely alongside paintings, sculpture, installations etc. and often only as a body of work, sharing a message or story as a more
Uge Fuertes
I try to make creativity a path. The daring and risky composition is my hallmark; I like to seek perfection in composition and highlight only the remarkable, ignoring the rest. We are what we photograph and also what we see. Seeing is not only a physical question. more
The Thing Itself
Edward Weston’s thoughts on photography are peppered throughout his Daybooks (journals predominantly covering the period 1922-1934). more
This is my truth, Tell me yours
The sheer delight in being faced by the lighting in the landscape from a sky on fire as the sun rises or sets can be some of the best medicines which can’t be prescribed by any doctor. more
