Travel guide of Machir BayIt was far too windy and cold to have my camera out for more than a few seconds (I’d forgotten my gloves) and I managed to snap this by chance. Machir Bay is on the coast of Islay, Scotland, right by the Kilchoman Farm distillery. The beach was deserted, and the sun came down producing an epic effect through the clouds. I hope to go back there soon with a weather sealed camera!

We were on a photo-trip in the Mourne Moutains, Northern Ireland. But a big dark cloud went all over the mountains, ruining everything. The Giant’s Causeway was a two hours drive from there, but because we came here from Dublin, we were like, “Well, we didn’t came that far for nothing”. So we decided to go. Three hours later, I took this panoramic medium-format like long exposure shot, and couldn’t be more happy with the choice we made.

During Storm Eleanor in January 2018 I went out to one of the locations they filmed Game of Thrones. It’s in Northern Ireland on the Causeway Coast. The whole shoot was a nightmare to get, being blown over, slipping and keeping water off my lenses. The shots however, capture the dark stormy story of the day. The unexpected bonus was the cloud breaking and shooting pink and purple to fight with the black.

As sun was setting on the North Coast of Ireland, I wanted to capture the red horizon as a backdrop to the large waves. This photo was taken by lodging the camera in between two rocks, and the long exposure took the craziness of the weather and created a peaceful and magical styled scene.

Over an hour waiting in the freezing wind all for a brief glimpse of light on the land that lasted a mere 5 seconds. That’s what landscape photography is all about! Castle Stalker overlooking Loch Linnhe in the Scottish Highlands.

An early start for a photoshoot on Loch Lomond in the Trossachs National Park for a client. Took a series of quick shots while waiting for the sun to peak over the hills in the distance!

Took a little walk in the woods behind my house and found this wee guy chilling out on a branch, big cat style.

One of my favourite places. Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands is full of deer and beautiful landscapes. It allows you to have peace and quiet and just chill out with the most important thing to me and my photography - the great outdoors.

We visited Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands in the hope we would see a herd of deer. I managed to capture this beautiful stag while the rest of the herd grazed behind him.

A small abandoned jetty at the East side of the Trossachs in Scotland. You can see the Autumn beginning to die out with the last areas of tone holding on for life.

First picture of my road trip across Scotland. I feel like this picture is typically what we think of when we try to imagine Scotland.

Our b&b host took us to this pearl in a December morning, just before we had to catch our bus back to Edinburgh. It was the greenest and most peaceful place on earth.
