Herald Scotland 'Pic of the day'

My photo of the old bridge at Dunkeld in todays edition of the Herald :)

Luing

First time on the isle of Luing, was up for two nights recently to do an interior shoot for friends, the lovley Grant and Julie, for their website as they are going to eventually let the cottage. It was the home of Grants grandfather and family who worked the adjacent slate quarries in Cullipool. The area is rich with the history of the industry and made for and exiting, if bracing, foray for pictures.

Chuffed tae bits!

I just recently received word from the 'Landscape photographer of the year competition' and I am delighted to say that two of my images have been given awards. My picture of St Michaels mount has been 'highly commended' in the 'living the view' category ( and will be made into postcards as part of a selection pack ) and my picture of the old stone bridge at the Hermitage, Dunkeld has been 'commended' in the 'classic view' category by the panel of Judges including Landscape photographer Charlie Waite, both will be on exhibit and in the book, considering the thousands of entries they receive each year I am so chuffed by this result. ; )
