It seems like an age since I released my first book, Skye At Night, at a launch event at Armadale Castle in Skye. In fact it was less that two years ago on the 2nd of August 2024. Now, the fifth print run is sold out and I won’t be printing any more. Read on…

Is it time to sell my Leica Q3? Is the computational photography of the new Leitzphone (an enhanced Xiaomi 17 Ultra) good enough to take the place of the pride of Wetzlar’s compact camera range?

As a verified gear addict, what is it like committing to a single, tiny camera for the trip of a lifetime? I left all the expensive cameras and lenses behind and headed to Vietnam with just a Ricoh GR3x HDF. Here’s my in-depth review of this multi-week road test.

Photography is often an excuse for just being outside, exploring and finding new places. Sometimes a nice photograph is a bonus to the main event of gently wandering around the countryside. Here is the result of an extremely enjoyable outing with my pal Paddy, finding another lone tree on rock composition that is full of drama and feeling.

Revisiting a beautiful spot in the Torrin area, I try a different composition of a scene that I have shot before. Overnight snow highlighted the mountains, and salt on the road brightened it up as a good lead-in.

In this post I revisit a favourite location in Glen Brittle to get some drama that I missed in a shot from two years before. I’ll also describe how small changes in position or settings can make big differences to the end result.

A short post on the importance of having an open mind to let creativity flow. This was the agenda for an afternoon of gentle monochrome photography on the Sleat peninsula in the Isle of Skye.
