Mount Fitzroy
The first time I heard the word mentioned, was sometime in the mid 70-ties. It was through a documentary film shown on about a British expedition across the Argentinian glacier Hielo Sur. more
The Scots Pine
The humble Scots pine is the only truly native coniferous tree in the United Kingdom and what a beauty it is. more
Linda Bembridge
Linda loves taking detailed photographs of subjects that, as images, may be unrecognisable in themselves but which can be reconfigured or presented to resemble other landscapes, or otherwise leave room for the viewer’s imagination. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
Photography is always a delicate balance between technique and aesthetics. Think of the debate that swirls around long exposures/Big Stoppers. You either like the effect or hate it. All more
Creative Cloning
We’ve all been in the position of having what looks like a wonderful picture we can see but sadly there is an obstacle sitting in the way. For me it’s quite often the trunk of a tree sitting in the way. more
Endframe: Gondola, Venice by Charlie Waite
I'm grateful it inspired me to think differently about all aspects of my work. At first sight I enjoyed its simplicity and then an analytical study revealed just how carefully the image had been considered. more
Glen Nevis
Like most landscape photographers I love winter and find it a special time of year. There is much to be said for autumn, spring and summer but there is just something about crisp frosty mornings and fresh layers of virgin snow that I find invigorating. more

A Field, A Lane, A Wood
A recent self help trend for those suffering stress has been mindfulness. A method where by concentrating and focusing all of your attention in on yourself and the process of breathing and other bodily sensations you are able to fully relax by blocking out negative thought. If you can take the time to assess exactly how you are feeling as you make images you should find, as I do, that you will have entered a very similar state. more
Art and Inspiration
We can think of inspiration as the state of finding profound joy and meaning in the making of our work, in which case it is indeed correlated with what psychologists term flow – a state of great contentment that ensues out of becoming so consumed in an activity that no attention is left over for other concerns. more
Simon Ashmore
Simon is less interested in accurately recording that which he sees than he is in combining subject, shape and tone using one or more images to create an impression. His aim is to encourage the viewer to see familiar things in a new light, and not all of his images are as they first seem. more
Landscape Photography Conference
Get together a bunch of your favourite landscape photographers to give presentations to like minded individuals and have a crack at the same time. Two years ago we did just that and from our feedback we think it went quite well. It was too late to organise another event the following year but the good news is that we’ve got our act together and have more
Beginning Winter Mountain Photography
Colin Prior’s books on Scotland’s mountains were one of my first introductions to the world of landscape photography. Highland Wilderness and The Wild Places showed me the beauty of Scotland’s finest peaks but it was the winter depictions that really grabbed me. Over the last decade me and my wife Charlotte have visited Scotland every year and most of these visits have been to Glencoe. We’ve always wanted to ‘get up high’ and despite some longer walks have never more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
Photography can be a frustrating art form. It delights to pose questions and not to provide answers. Take this eerie image by Kilian Schönberger. Why are these trees bent at the base and straight at the top? What is going on? more
Polar Voyages
Wilderness is affecting, and most who travel to these regions are changed forever by the intensity and power of raw nature. The harshness, the birds, fish and mammals that carve out a living here, the weather, and the indescribable beauty of the landscapes can haunt your imagination, shift your perspective, even change your values and understanding. more
