Just a bit of fun and there’s some advice about photography right at the end, I hope you enjoy this video and look forward to better times. In 2014 I went to Dublin for a city break around St Patrick’s Day, the parade through the city centre was dazzling and fun and full of colour and life, the complete opposite to this year. I am working through all of my photography archives, removing the bad images and selecting everything that is in focus and I found myself looking through and editing photos of that day in 2014 on St Patrick’s Day 2021.

A stunning sunrise over the city of Como in Italy meant that I had a fantastic landscape photography shoot, capturing the vivid pinks of a glorious sunrise! The whole landscape was painted in a pink hue that made the hike up, early in the morning worth every step. A series of images of the city illuminated and bathed in pink light.

A wonderful morning exploring Glen Affric looking to capture the vibrant colours of autumn in the landscape. From the sunburst yellows of birch trees, to the layering of colours created by bracken. The beautiful valley of Glen Affric does not disappoint in the variety of images to be had.

Arriving at Loch an Eilean there was a tonne of people out enjoying the evening, I wasn’t deterred from my planned Landscape Photography. It was a spectacular evening full of golden light cast across the landscape and vibrant pink and orange colours in the sky. The first 2 images I captured were complicated images to process: an HDR and a Panorama. But the best images came from the setting sun!

Had a bit of a bad start to the morning with a very flat sunrise image but following the colours the golden light that lit the landscape was stunning! Loch Insh gave me 3 golden landscapes, illuminating the forests on the banks of the loch. But my favourite image was from Loch Alvie, the church and reflections in the golden light was perfect!

During Lockdown I discovered this little loch not too far from home. It was spring and the lilies were in full bloom. I knew then that I wanted to photograph this lily loch during a colourful sunrise. Fast forward a while and I return to the loch in the autumn to finally photograph it with a beautiful sunrise.

A beautiful sunny day does not easily lend itself to landscape photography, but I had a brainwave, the golden light of sunset ought to create heavy areas of contrast in the mountains and I could get some minimalist images. But when the clouds begin to block out the sun, I had to adapt my plans. ICM photography saved the evening and created some amazing images.

A new location for me up on the Moray Coast lent itself to wonderful forest and beach photography. This remote sandy beach was hidden through a large pine forest requiring a hike of several kilometres to arrive, and as the beach comes into view there is a dead forest that is so unique I had to photo it! Then great sunset colours appeared over the sea!
