St Andrews Photographic Society

A big thank you to everyone at St Andrews Photographic Society for their hospitality and appreciation last night. Despite an early technical glitch beforehand everything went well and it was great to meet everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and thanks for all the kind words by everyone who came over for a blether after my talk. Also a big personal thank you to Nicola for the invite, coffee and chat beforehand and to John for saving my bacon when my crappy laptop wouldn't play ball.

The International Photography Awards

Happy to say I managed to collect a nice wee 'Honorable mention' award for the image 'Winter sun over Glen Etive' the one image I entered into this years International photography awards. This is a mono version of the same view of the image I posted about earlier. It was taken just before the colour shot where you could still catch some of the suns rays poking through the rapidly gathering cloud.

The Epson international pano awards

Hi all, I just received notification recently that the image I entered earlier this year in the The Epson international pano awards picked up a nice wee 'Bronze' award. The image 'Winter sun over glen etive' is of Stob Dearg looking down towards Glen Etive. Shot early February this year on the way back from a trip up north, I had emerged from Glen Coe on the A82 and the scene unfolding on my right was one I had pre-visualised as a perfect alignment of elements. The sun was ideally cupped in the scooped space of the glen, the glorious golden light smouldering behind the thick moody cloud and the blanket of white helped to reflect this glow and accentuate the wonderful textures of the mighty Buachaille.
