After the Storm.
Some superb light over Edinburgh as a snowstorm passes over the city. An image with a little bit of a "Turner" feel to it. Taken in February 2021, this image won Twitter's Sharemonday competition.
The photograph was also commended as part of a portfolio of images in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition 2021.

More fireworks! This time for the Hogmanay 2022 celebrations. Taken from a very wet and windy Salisbury Crags where it was quite a job trying to keep the camera steady and the lens dry in such tricky conditions.

We have taken a few versions from this particular viewpoint above Waverley Station over the years. You can choose to include the iconic skyline of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, or crop it out, but on this occasion Andrew did the latter, changing the format to a 16:9 in the process. One thing you have to do is get everything absolutely central in the image, even just moving the tripod a few inches either way can make a huge difference.

When the RAF's Red Arrows were expected to perform a flypast over Edinburgh, choosing a vantage point in advance came with risks. Their first attempt was cancelled due to the weather and on the second, my chosen viewpoint was closed to the public due to a film shoot taking place. I hastily repositioned myself down the Royal Mile instead and chose both the spot and an appropriate lens wisely.
The flypast ended up being directly overhead and at a full 15mm, the wide angle lens captured the adjacent 17th century buildings as well as the aircraft passing by. Even the pilots seemed impressed with my efforts as lead pilot Red One later retweeted my image. However the drama was not over. Seconds after the shot was taken, a bird strike forced one of the aircraft to make an emergency landing nearby.
This photograph was shortlisted in the 2021 UK Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition and was published in their annual book and exhibition which travelled around the country. It was also shortlisted in the British Photography Awards 2022.

A trip to Port Edgar at dawn seemed to offer little, until the mist started to roll down off the hills of Fife. A couple of yachts sailing into my shot just added something extra. This photograph went on to be commended in the 2021 UK Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition and was published in their annual book and exhibition which travelled around the country.

On a clear evening which offered little at sunset, the sky changed to a glorious orange right along the horizon during twilight. Taken from the viewpoint on Calton Hill, a favourite spot for us and many others.

In February 2021, snowstorms swept across the capital and as the clouds passed overhead, beams of light broke through, illuminating the city. We were taking advantage of the height offered by the slopes of Arthur's Seat to get this unique viewpoint.

During lockdown in 2020, Edinburgh’s empty Festival venues turned their lights back on with displays of beacons of light visible across the city. Inspired by the tradition of ghost lights, a single light that is left illuminated in theatres, these were symbols that although stages were empty then, the buildings would be filled with applause once again. The event was called "My Light Shines On" and this image was taken in Charlotte Square.

I walked many miles along the Birmingham canals trying to find a composition and just as I was about to turn back, a found this old brick tunnel. The shape of the curves and the textures of the brickwork and foliage beyond really caught my eye. However there was a lot of contrast with the bright sunlight and the darkness inside the tunnel, so I ended up taking two images, separately metered and put together using HDR in Lightroom.

The Canal Street Basin in Birmingham is a popular area in the evening with enough bars and restaurants to keep both locals and visitors happy. With the canal absolutely still, the reflections provided an excellent opportunity for some interesting photography, as long as you didn't get too close to the edge! This image was shortlisted in the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition 2022 and was in their collection 15 book.

A cycle trip through France took us under a busy road and past this example of urban art. I knew there was a photograph here somewhere and when Andrew stopped briefly to stare back at the fox, I knew I only had a couple of seconds to catch the moment. There was no time to find the DSLR, so I grabbed my iPhone and fired off a shot just before he went on his way.

A high pressure system out in the North Sea can often blow low lying mist and fog into Edinburgh. Called haar, it can frustrate the east coast residents for days, when the rest of the country is bathing in glorious sunshine. This view is from the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, looking south over the city.

The view across Edinburgh as the infamous "Beast from the East" weather hit the country during winter of 2018. Schools were closed so Andrew climbed Arthur's Seat to photograph the snow storms as they swept across the city. This image went on to win the Youth "Urban View" category in the 2018 UK Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition and the 2019 Young Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition.
