A guided day of Forests and Lochs landscape photography we will be based close to Aviemore for the majority of the day and we will endeavour to capture pictures of the various lochs and forests of the Cairngorms National Park. On some days, we may even venture a bit further outside of the National Park to make the most of the weather conditions. A great day of Landscape Photography in Scotland!
The Monarch of the Glen, the large Red Deer of the Scottish Highlands is what we will focus on photographing during this guided wildlife photography day. We will explore the west coast and Cairngorms National Park looking for the magnificent Red Deer herds that live throughout Scotland. Stags are at the best during the winter with full racks of antlers.
The Cairngorms National Park is dominated by its mountains and that is the subject for this guided landscape photography day. We will hike up a mountain looking for landscape photography subjects on the ascent and descent. We will talk about mountain landscape composition and finding a subject. As well as having a great day out in the hills. Lunch is included…
Red Grouse are an iconic Scottish species and this guided wildlife photography day will focus on getting close to these wary yet beautiful birds. We will venture out on to the heather moors of the Cairngorms National Park and photograph red grouse from the car and on foot, crawling across the heather to get close. We will focus on red grouse portraits, behaviour and setting the bird in its landscape.
A guided Landscape Photography day along the Moray Coast of Scotland we will be moving from location to location along the jagged and varied coast line. There are many different landscape photography opportunities, from rocky, craggy cliffs to sandy beaches and even a coastal forest. The sea will of course play a key part to this tour and we can explore different ways photographing it.

There are a variety of landscapes surrounding the Great Glen area, from dramatic waterfalls, mysterious mountains, rumbling rivers, and ancient ruins.
In the mountains of the Cairngorms National Park lives the Ptarmigan, they change colour with the seasons and are quite trusting for a game bird. This guided wildlife photography day will focus on getting close to ptarmigan in the mountains. We will focus on getting ptarmigan portraits, behaviour and setting the bird in the landscape.
To capture the best light for landscape photography we need to be out at sunrise and sunset, this overnight wild camping landscape photography trip enables us to do that. We will meet on day 1 and take a hike into a remote area of the Cairngorms National Park, we will set up our camp and spend the night under the stars. After taking some great sunset landscape pictures, there is the possibility of astrophotography, and of course the sunrise the next morning!
