Small collection of the best of my work.
Ma home ~ Ma aurora
with Jenny cameron 2021
I want to share with you the beauty from my back yard during lockdown January 2021. I’ve been recently struggling like many since Scotland went into full lock-down on Boxing day 2020 ( 26th Dec) with my mental health. Theres nothing to look forward to & so much sadness … So ..I decided enough was enough & kicked my butt to do some night photography from home. Here in the far north of Scotland we are blessed with Auroras between September & March. I’ve always been too lazy or ill to photograph, so..no more excuses Jenny, get yourself outside with your best buddy (camera) & enjoy the beauty. I talk away to myself ~ “For goodness sake Jenny don’t you know how lucky you are, what’s wrong with you, why have you never done this before ?”
These images are nothing fancy but the pleasure they have brought me has been immense & I hope you enjoy them too.
I’ll add more as I go … Watch this space ..no pun intended …ha-ha…..;-( .
Beautiful, mysterious wild & free. ~Dance in the moonlight. ~Choose imagination over fear & sea treasure in the simple things. Most importantly be who you are, embrace your inner Mermaid whether male of female it doesnt matter.

Home to Morgan the Midnight Fairy. Glenbrittle, Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Please note this is a composite image. Night sky has been added in post processing. Both images have been taken by myself in the same area of the Isle of Skye.
The use of Haida filters are as follows,
Haida round “drop-in” Circular Polariser and Neutral Density 1.8 (6 stop) combination filter for the water.
M10 round Clear-night for the night sky.
Believe in the fairies who make dreams come true. Believe in the wonder, the stars & the moon. Believe in the magic from fairies above. They dance on the flowers & sing songs of love, & if you just believe & always stay true, the fairies will be there, to watch over you!

On arrival the light was bouncing all over the place, it had been one of those typical Scottish days where you get all four seasons in one day, this can prove to be very successful for landscape photography as it seems to bring the purest of light, what I call “sparkling- light”. However, this can bring difficulties with light management -You need to be in control of the light, not the light controlling the image. To do this I used a Haida M10 CPL which is my go to filter to control highlights and Haida Red Diamond Medium 0.9 ( 3stops) which produced some real magic. The Callanish stones no matter how many times I visit never fail to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, there’s something very spooky but quietly spiritual about it, makes you think about the history which dates back to the stone age over 5000 years ago. The sky didn’t pop as much as I hoped due to the time of year and day time temperatures. I stayed till dusk watching the sun dip below the horizon, all very peaceful at such an iconic location.
