Needless to say I had a fantastic few days on the stunning Isle of Eigg in the 'sonsy' company of some good friends, Johnny Jobson, Sports Ed from the Sunday Herald, Sculptor Shaun McLaren and photographer Joe Maclay, managed to get a few shots I'm happy with, although, what with the 15th year anniversary Ceilidh and everything else going on I didn't quite concentrate enough on making images...;)

Greetings cards

More good news, my image of the old stone bridge over the river Braan in Dunkeld has been published by Camden graphics as part of a range of greetings cards showing a selection of 26 images from the last five years of the Landscape photographer of the year competition, and will appear in shops all over later this year..

Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE)

I was delighted to be contacted by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) via Diana Leppard of Take-a-view (the organisers of the Landscape photographer of the year awards) recently. They are moving to new premises and are sourcing photography to display in their new offices that reflect the ethos of the work they do, and have requested the use of my St Michaels mount image that was highly commended in the 'living the view' category from the 2011 awards.

Return to Eigg

Really looking forward to my second trip to the Isle of Eigg for a few days and especially the 15th year birthday ceilidh of the Islanders buy-out on Saturday. The weathers looking like a mixed bag at the moment, but hey, should make for some dramatic backdrops to the beautiful Isle's varied landscapes...
