The Milky Way over Glen Coe (May 2026). I hadn’t appreciated just how light it is overnight in the far north of Scotland in May. It wasn’t until we got down to Glen Coe that I had half a chance to capture the MW, and even then there was still a permanent blue twilight throughout the night. This is a stack of 10 lights and 5 darks (15s f/2 ISO3200 FL20mm), processed in SLS, PS and LR. The stacking process in SLS normally takes out any satellite trails, however, I thought I’d include a shot with them all kept in (last frame). It’s just unbelievable how much junk flew overhead in what amounts to only 2.5 minutes total exposure - and Elon Musk wants to put even more up there! Just ruining the night sky!

The amazingly jagged Mangersta Sea Stacks hidden on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. They take a little bit of finding as you can’t see them from the road and there are no signs, but well worth the effort (a little bit of old fashioned map reading required). Also helped that we were blessed with fine weather when we were there! 🌞😎 These are 10sec exposures taken with a 10 stop ND filter. I’ve seen some amazing shots taken from the beach here, but I have to say I completely bottled any attempt to get down, it looked way too iffy! 😂

The stunning Coldbackie Beach on the Kyle of Tongue on the North Coast of Scotland. Taking the drone on this trip really did give some additional options in shooting the landscape.

The amazing Brig O’Stack near the Old Castle of Wick on the NC500 route around the North Coast of Scotland. Many thanks to the fellow traveller who stood on the ‘bridge’, giving this shot some much needed scale!

Just back from an epic three week tour of Scotland in the van and have finally started to work through the many images I collected on the way. Thought I’d start with this - the wreck of the old fishing vessel MV Dayspring at Corpach near Fort William. Apparently it broke its moorings in a storm in 2011 and ended up on this beach. I know it’s not an original composition, but just wanted to shoot this classic view of the wreck with Ben Nevis in the background.
