I’ve only been here a few hours and met some lovely people already. Thank you for saying hello.
Thought I’d drop in one of my favourite photos. It helped win me a portfolio commendation in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards. Taken in a snowstorm on the slopes of Arthur’s Seat.

One of the most colourful sunsets I’ve ever seen. It lasted over half an hour too, as the low trajectory of the sun in the far north extended it so much more than here in Scotland. I caught the reflection on the facade of the city library, an impressive modernist building beside the river in Umeå.

Very pleased to find out my boat photo from Gairloch is a Runner-Up in the Close-up Photographer of the Year competition!

Many thanks to the judges for selecting my photo out of the 12,000 entries. Full description in the alt text.

Very pleased to find out my yacht photo from Gairloch is a Runner-Up in the Close-up Photographer of the Year competition! I remember stopping at the harbour last summer in the pouring rain to find only one boat up out of the water but I knew it was a good one! Well done to all the other finalists. I don’t recognise many of the names in this genre of photography but I did spot Paul Kenny with a win and Klaus Axelsen is a finalist too. If you like the more abstract side of photography do look them up. Very different styles but equally brilliant. Many thanks to @cupoty for selecting my photo. To see the top 100 shortlisted images and buy the e-book, go and visit their website. www.cupoty.com

A two tone paint job and a streak of water is all I need. From Kimelford Yacht Haven near Oban. The yacht “Sleepy Warrior”.

Reminiscing of previous photo trips. 2019, a journey round nearly the whole of Iceland in one week. Great times.

When the weather is poor, the boats can sometimes come to life in the rain, here creating another layer, an extra brushstroke on the wooden or metal canvas.

Golden hour at the coast. A wild and stormy day when I had to hold on to the tripod and a nearby wall to stop both of us ending up in the North Sea.

That day in the Lake District I stood in the rain for an hour waiting for it to pass, knowing the light would follow.

Delighted to have a photo featured in this week’s Amateur Photographer magazine. An image I’ve posted before, one which was just a quick snap taken on a family walk beside the river.

I know EVERYONE says this, but it’s very, very difficult to choose between such a variety of lovely images. I still haven’t decided as I type this.

Ok it’s @supergios.bsky.social His photo his very cleverly composed and he just gets it in a photo finish (and a VAR review). 👏

I usually expect to be drawn to the landscapes, but I’m seeing an amazing variety of clever and very different images this week. Narrowed it down to 5. Comments in the alt text.

You see a lot of these rocky foreshore photos, usually from the east coast though. But I love the colours and the shapes here, those sexy curves and that little pebble . . . Very clever from Jonny, I had to zoom in to work out what was going on, and beautifully captured and edited too. I know Andrew and I’ve seen many of his photos of his Mam, so I’m always reticent about shortlisting a mate. I’m also not really a portrait person but this one stands out above any of them for me. There’s something about the contrast of tones and textures, and the shape of the pose. And of course there’s the ongoing story that is filled with emotion. I really want to choose it for all those reasons but also I’d love her to see it in the book. I dislike symmetry in architecture, but for some reason I like it in photography. There’s a sort of order to the top 2/3rds with complimentary colours going on, then the chaos of the crowd in the bottom 1/3rd. Well done Dale.

If I could enter #sharemondays2026 this week, this would have been my photo, but you can enter and I’m looking forward to choosing my favourite from all your amazing images. Remember it has to be taken in the last 7 days and posted today Monday, using the hashtag above. Good luck!
I know yacht owners don’t go out of their way to create works of art, but somehow they manage it. One from the west coast last week. An abstract of mostly blues and aqua with a touch of yellow and purple hues. From a boatyard near Oban.

Now it looks like we’re not getting another icy blast from the east, I thought we needed cooling down with some icy abstracts instead.
