I’ve always had an absolute fascination and love for woodland. There is something magical about walking through huge ancient forests. The scale, the smells and the sounds all make me feel as if I belong there. Here in Perthshire we are absolutely spoiled for choice in terms of landscapes, whether it’s spectacular mountains and glens, … Read more
Photos from a quiet walk in the woods yesterday with the Nikon Z6III and 20mm f/1.8 S. Apologies for the lack of posts lately.

For the last week or so, I’ve been making the most of the longer evenings by heading up a local path that cuts between farmland near where I live. It’s become a bit of a routine — especially after school, when Sofia and I go out for a walk together. It gets us out into … Read more
I took the Nikon Z8 with the 14–30mm f/4 out on Thursday to a local glen for a few hours of landscape photography. The weather was mixed, with brief breaks of light pushing through passing April showers. I slung the camera over my shoulder on a Peak Design Slide Lite and headed up into the … Read more
