Maxwell Lake
I tend to look for more remote places than Maxwell Lake and there are plenty near Boulder, but I keep finding more and more to captivate me at this little lake and It’s not even a quarter of a mile around. more
Loss in the Landscape
In September 2019 a funeral service was held on the former bed of the Pizol Glacier in Switzerland1. The glacier had lost 80% of its volume since 2006 and was now small enough to be declared dead by those mourners present. more
Arctic Tundra
In the early autumn of 2019, I was privileged to be one of twelve photographers, led by Anthony Spencer and Joe Cornish on a photographic “expedition” to the North East Greenland Coast. more
Familiarity Breeds Content
Many photographers believe that repeatedly visiting a location not only gives them that familiarity with the area to more easily get better photographs of subjects they know well, but crucially they also find it easier to make more incisive new images, showing the character of a location and how it changes with light, weather, seasons and indeed the photographer’s own mood. more
The Dolomites
The Dolomites are composed of Dolomite rock, a compound of calcium carbonate and magnesium, elements that accentuate the reflectivity of the sun's rays. more
Hokkaido
Hokkaido is the most Northern island of Japan and is full of flowers in summer and a popular place for Japanese tourists, but in February it is in the grip of winter and usually with deep snow. more
Trip Report – The Hebrides
I’ve wanted to visit Skye for around 35 years having visited Mull in my 20s. I had a bucket list of places I wanted to see and photograph on Skye more

There was something about the place that had enticed me for decades, namely the work of Ansel Adams that had me transfixed to his books in a college library at the age of sixteen whilst working as a photography student. more
Eigg without Rùm
The island of Eigg is the second largest and most populous of the Small Isles located off the west coast of Scotland south of Skye. From the mainland and arriving by sea Eigg is impossible to mistake with its towering rock prow of volcanic origin: An Sgurr more
A Scottish Winter Journey
It was a great journey with all sorts of weather and light and I learned a lot from it. I am pretty sure this will not be my last winter in Scotland. more
Norway Trip Report
During our last Meeting of Minds conference, one of our regular visitors, Trym Ivar Bergsmo, said to us “Would you like to come and stay with us in Norway sometime and allow me to show you around?” As both Charlotte and I are more of the cold climes holidaymakers rather than the beach and cocktails sort, this caught our interest immediately but in the frantic conference conditions, it slipped our minds. We checked that Trym was still amenable more
Dingle Peninsula
My friends are passionate photographers, primarily landscapers, yet with differing photographic interests and different ways of seeing and making images. more
Outer Hebrides
When Mother Nature is at her worst, the Outer Hebrides have that “edge of the world” feel, where a dramatic but unprotected coastline meets the full force of the Atlantic. more
A Day at the Seaside
One day at the seaside in difficult conditions; using techniques that I knew about but had never tried in combination like this, framing abstracts rather than conventional views. more
Of a Big One, not up a Big One
Every winter we see lots of images of snow-covered peaks in the glow of dawn or dusk light and most of us think “That’s fantastic, but there is no way I could get up a mountain to take photos like these”. more
