Landscape Photography | Eilean Donan Castle Sunset | Scotland

I first visited Eilean Donan Castle in June 2012. Unfortunately I didn't get the shot I was really after back then due to time constraints and lack of darkness hours (20 hours of daylight). The tide was all wrong back then as well. This time I'm determined to get the shot I'm after. Click the pic below to go straight...

Landscape Photography | Fairy Pools | Scotland

I've been wanting to photograph the beautiful Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye in Scotland for some time. The water was bitterly cold and although not that deep as I discovered, I had waders which enabled me to stay in position long enough to get the shot. Oh, and talk to you lovely people as well.

Day 5 Scotland

Day 5 Scotland - What's this? Still in Scotland after yesterday was supposed to be my last day here? Well, it was supposed to be.

Day 2 Scotland

Day 2 Scotland - I began this beautiful Spring day in Scotland by going to the Edinburgh Castle. Was a fantastic way to start the day. Loved the place, had stunning views over the city and learnt a tonne of history about Scotland in the process. Then I hit the road in the Audi at lunch time and began my journey...

Day 1 Scotland

Day 1 Scotland - Today's magic word, "exhaustion". I had to travel from Rome to London to Edinburgh. Firstly, my plane was delayed for 2 hours (sitting on tarmac) coming out of Rome due to bad weather at Heathrow. Winds apparently hitting up to 60 mph were lashing London making air traffic impossible to land. When...
