With my Head in the Clouds
What was I thinking?
sponsored by ..
The seasons shift down gears as winter approaches. We’ve had the coldest weather in the Highlands for over 15 years this last week. It chooses a perfectly inconvenient moment, turning up early while we are in the middle of planting a hedge in the garden. (don’t worry, no leylandi here. We’ve got a wildlife-friendly mix of beech, hazel, hornbeam, maple, blackthorn and hawthorn.) I should say that it’s Charlotte who is planting the hedge, because I’m indoors making the final amends to volume five of the Natural Landscape book.
The NLPA book is already available for pre-order from the website and will arrive with us at the end of January for worldwide delivery (US orders will be delayed a little due to shipping).
We’re off to print on Monday at Johnson’s of Nantwich, and I’ll also be writing an article on making calendars while I’m with them. John Macmillan, the owner of the business, has spent a lot of time working with landscape photographers to create a quality offering that has been used this year by the likes of Joe Cornish, Charlie Waite, David Ward, Alex Nail and many others. If you’re looking for a Christmas present, have a look at the article in our next issue to see what’s available.
The best part of producing the book is picking and matching images. Having spent so long with the photographs, it’s impossible not to pick out a few favourites, and one photo in particular is so engaging that I’ve ordered a print of it. This is Jason Pettit’s beautiful black-and-white rendition of reeds and oaks in snow.

End frame: Nyx #60006 by Anna Cabrera & Ángel Albarrán
An image I keep coming back to in particular is this work from Albarrán Cabrera’s series ‘Nyx’. The name derives from Greek mythology, where the goddess Nyx is the personification of the darkness and is considered one of the first beings to exist. more
A Connection Through Landscape Shaped from Within
It was not until B&W entered my photographic life in recent years that an alternative way of seeing became not only possible, but necessary. more
Kavin Chawla
In the end, the most decisive part of my workflow happens long before the shutter: studying tide tables, watching satellite loops, and revisiting places until I know how they breathe. Equipment matters, but the biggest creative choices are made with boots on sand and eyes open to change. more
Any Questions, with special guest Ben Horne

Michael Kenna’s Darkroom Diaries
Retouching helps the viewer look into and around a print. It is also another option to edit out areas we do not want to attract attention to. Most of us are now familiar with digital retouching. more
With my Head in the Clouds
During this year’s (2025) spring and summer, I was quite taken by cloudscapes over the big city where I live and having a decidedly non-photogenic urban foreground, I was moved to shoot just the skies. more
