Outer Hebrides
When Mother Nature is at her worst, the Outer Hebrides have that “edge of the world” feel, where a dramatic but unprotected coastline meets the full force of the Atlantic. more
Issue 186 PDF
Scottish Summer has arrived and disappeared in the last two weeks and Joe Cornish has been up to experience some of it with us. However, we spent most of our time chatting about photography trips and cameras, especially as Paula from Linhof Studio joined us for the latter half of the week. more
End frame: Spirit of the mountains
