This morning I discovered TheHighlands.com had been hacked to redirect different site. As I’d not kept the site nor Wordpress updated I wasn’t really surprised, but it serves as a valuable lesson to keep applications updated. To plug the gap I’ve replaced the entire site with my gallery of Scottish Mountain Photography.

Snow Graffiti
Monday, January 4th, 2010
The snowy scape awaiting Leith this morning was a parade of inscribed windscreens. Found eight examples, but suspect there could have been more. Very funny it was too, I applaud the artist.

Men's Fitness - November 2009
This month’s Men’s Fitness magazine features one of my images from Knoydart. Druim a’ Choire Odhair and Barrisdale Bay shot from the top of Ladhar Bheinn used over two pages to illustrate one of the best wild walks in the country (p 58/59 in case you are looking for it). The route was described by Stevie Christie of Wilderness Jounrneys and director of the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival. Small world indeed!
Wordpress posts from a Blackberry
Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Getting to grips with the new Blackberry (Curve 8900) in preparation for the trip. So far very impressed, especially with the addition of a lightweight Wordpress plugin (WPhone) which makes posting very easy.
Not quite so impressed by the photo blogging, the Flickr plugin I’ve tired over compresses images and returns errors when uploading at original full size. Not really an issue as I can email images straight in, but these images don’t carry any GPS positional data so they don’t automatically appear on the Flickr map (which would have been a nice touch).
Fashion Photography Workshop
Monday, April 27th, 2009
On Saturday I went down to in Dumfries to run a Fashion Photography Workshop to support the opening of the Jean Muir exhibition at the National Museum of Costume.
With access to six original Jean Muir dresses, Holly the model, make up artist Jak Morgan and fellow photographer Ewan Arkieson we lead the eight participants through various aspects of fashion photography, with the historic Shambellie House and gardens provided an ideal setting.
We’ve set up a Flickr Group for participants up upload their images, it will be interesting to see if our guidance was useful. Certainly the feedback after the event was very positive. Thanks to all involved for making it a successful day.
Skinny Tyres
Monday, April 20th, 2009
Today I was in Perthshire to shoot images for Skinny Tyres, a company offering training holidays in Scotland for cyclists. The discovery of the day was Glen Quaich, where the quiet roads and steep hills made an excellent backdrop for this series of images.
New photography pages
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
Just finishing off round one of reworking the Photography pages, aside from the new landing page I’ve cleaned up several of the older galleries which have been there in one form or another since 2001. It’s a job I’ve been putting off for a while, but it turned out to not be as fiddly as I thought.
Now the pages are much easier to manage my intention is to add more image ‘collections’ from the archives, plus new images as I shoot them. As ever, watch this space!
