One of my commitments this year is to cut back on the climbing and to do more photography. For once, the weather has helped me in this regard by not delivering a winter suitable for my level of climbing. In fact, it’s been so ‘bad’ in Scotland that instead of the usual avalanche counts in the hundreds, we’ve had about 20 recorded!
The good side of this is that we’ve had reasonably dry and cool conditions, which has been better for general walking and is OK for a bit of mountaineering in the snow at the very tops of the hills. So when Joe Cornish came up to the Highlands for some winter photography, we had some frosty and clear conditions to play in. Joe and his wife Jenny were driven up by David Tolcher (an On Landscape contributor from the past, and hopefully again soon), and we had a great time wandering around near the King’s House Hotel and working with the ice on the river nearby.
Joe is doing well, and we had great conversations about photography, philosophy, and Britain’s favourite subject: the weather. Climate Change is being felt at this end of the Atlantic storm conveyor belt, with more energy in the system contributing to rapid cycling change and more extremes. This only amplifies the old Highland proverb (actually from Chicago) that if you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes!
Anyway, here’s my first ‘serious’ photo for a few years - thanks so much to Joe, Jenny and Dave for dragging me out!

End frame: Papaver Nudicale by Tine Poppe
The flowers, just past their peak and beginning to wilt, are set against the smoky, foggy and greyed landscape backgrounds, which evoke the tumult and terror of Romantic era painters working in nature’s Sublime. more

The move also reignited my passion for photographing Tasmania’s wilderness. Adjusting to life back home took time, but it allowed me to develop the skills needed to explore and photograph remote areas confidently. more

Brenda Tharp – Portrait of a Photographer
Her connection to nature deepened over the years, and she ultimately carved out a career in editorial and commercial photography. Yet, it was her passion for outdoor and nature photography that called her back to her roots. more
The Art of the Print
Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in the Swedish Photography Championships, where I was thrilled to win in the Landscape/Nature category. The competition begins with a digital qualification and transitions to a print final. more
The Big Move
And that love, that feeling of awe at the smaller and smaller world around me, led me to take all sorts of images that would have been beyond my more narrow-minded Cumbria persona. more
Reading the Landscape
Choosing to follow an instinctive rather than intellectual pathway through an image and its supporting text does not necessarily weaken the veracity of the subject matter either. more
