South Georgia
Travelling to the end of the world is not an easy task, and South Georgia certainly qualifies for this category. First, you need to cross 1850km of open water from the southern tip of South America over the Scotia Sea to get there; a voyage which can be a stormy inferno if the luck isn't with you. So I thanked God that this time mother nature was kind to us as we had four days of gentle rolling on more
The Sport of Waterborn Photography
I have to say that the experience of producing photographs at such a pace, of being forced to instinctively compose and recompose, was extraordinarily powerful. more
Chasing Pavements
Across the reserve there were areas of short cropped grasses and layers of limestone pavement. I’d been to limestone pavements in the Yorkshire Dales but this was unreal. more
A Stranger Comes To Town
It may have been Tolstoy, once claimed that there are really only two stories: "A Person Goes On A Journey", and "A Stranger Comes To Town". more
Going it Alone on Harris
I was happy to return for the third time when Adam suggested the possibility of a trip, and I felt he would also be a kindred spirit when it came to searching out dereliction! more
The Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands, also known as "the islands of sheep“, lie in the Atlantic Ocean, halfway between Iceland in the west and Norway in the east, and north of Scotland. more
The Voyage of the Malmö
While I must have seen Svalbard on maps before, I first remember reading about the archipelago in the Time-Life Photography Year 1974/75 book, which was in the art rooms during my time in the sixth form back in the 80s.. more
Glen Nevis
Like most landscape photographers I love winter and find it a special time of year. There is much to be said for autumn, spring and summer but there is just something about crisp frosty mornings and fresh layers of virgin snow that I find invigorating. more
Beginning Winter Mountain Photography
Colin Prior’s books on Scotland’s mountains were one of my first introductions to the world of landscape photography. Highland Wilderness and The Wild Places showed me the beauty of Scotland’s finest peaks but it was the winter depictions that really grabbed me. Over the last decade me and my wife Charlotte have visited Scotland every year and most of these visits have been to Glencoe. We’ve always wanted to ‘get up high’ and despite some longer walks have never more
Romancing the American Southwest
This mysterious land of enchantment, a siren song seducing many an explorer, writer, poet, miner, photographer, artist and even those seeking healing of the metaphysical kind. more
Affection Of Golden Desert
It is the largest sand desert in Arabian Peninsula where it covers from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman and Yemen. It is called the Empty Quarter. more
Photography Road Trip
Our two-stage photography road trip had been planned since the autumn of 2013. Starting in San Francisco in early May 2014 a friend from California and I drove 1500 meandering miles to Seattle over a period of about 8 days taking in stretches of the coast, redwood forests, lakes and volcanoes - dormant, and not so. In Seattle we joined up with a group of friends for a 9 day trip around the Olympic Peninsula, the Columbia River Gorge more
Cross Country Skiing in Arctic Sweden with the Fuji X-E2
Last year I wrote about my experiences cross country skiing in Norway’s Rondane National Park using a Fujifilm compact camera system - at that time I was using the X-E1 and X-M1, with the 18-55mm and 55-200mm zoom lenses attached. A year on, I again found myself enjoying a fabulous few days skiing with my husband, Rob - this time in Abisko in Arctic Sweden. Abisko had long been on our radar because it is the start of the more
Trip the Light
“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” - Rumi My photography is based in the American Southwest and my motivation to explore a new location is simple curiosity. My interests in hiking, camping and backpacking and the various information resources I peruse on a daily basis keep a steady stream of luscious landscapes, descriptions and images constantly feeding more
Nepal trip report – Everest, Gokyo and Cho La trek
These words are going through my head again and again as I continue to slowly make my way up and over the Cho La pass. Having set off at 5.30am we have now been walking for three hours and the top is still another hour away. We will soon be at an altitude of 5,420m, where there is about 50% of the oxygen there is at sea level, and this is having quite an effect on my ability to more
