Waterfalls and Rainbows.

Was lucky enough when visiting the hugely impressive Skógafoss to capture a rainbow coming out of the spray. Such a stunning waterfall and definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland! 🇮🇸

Cultural Reflections 🇮🇸

The stunning Harpa Concert Hall, lit up beautifully on the first night we were in Iceland. Reflected perfectly in the water features in front of the building.

Vast

Arnardrangur stands alone on the vast Reynisfjara. Loved this epic viewpoint, you can see how far reacting the waves are as well as the scale of the black sand beach

Liver lights!

Long exposure shot of the traffic passing by the iconic Royal Liver Building, which was highlighted nicely by the local light show.

Seljalandsfoss 🇮🇸

Our tour guide brought us here as the sun was beginning to set which meant the light was perfect to capture this stunning waterfall. The light piercing through the crashing water as we made our way behind the falls.

Hallgrimskirkja 🇮🇸

Visited this iconic Reykjavik landmark at blue hour on my first day in Iceland. This worked perfectly to create a contrast between the striking white glow of the church and the blue skies.

Reynisfjara

The notorious black sand beach, heavily windswept with moody clouds lurking overhead.

The wind here was so intense, occasionally pelting you with the loose bits of sand.

Skógafoss 🇮🇸

This was the first waterfall we stopped at during my Iceland trip and what a way to start! Skógafoss is such an epic waterfall which is far bigger than photos show.

Abandoned.

The DC-3 plane wreck on the Sólheimasandur black sand beach in Iceland. This U.S. Navy plane encountered severe icing, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing in 1973.

Reflections of blue.

Originally wanted to get this with crystal clear reflections but the weather hasn’t being playing ball recently! 😂 That said, I think the rippled areas add a nice bit of foreground and a nice highlight to the bridge itself.

Urban Echoes.

Late night long exposure shot taken underneath Glasgow Central Station, looking west. You get much more intense trails looking this way at the moment due to the one way system as well as the volume of buses that pass this way.

Curious Eyes.

A Fox peeking through the bushes while I was out walking the dog last night. Managed to find a nice gap in the bushes that framed the foxes head perfectly for this shot.

Artistic flow.

Experimented with the angle for this one, framing it face on to the GOMA in Glasgow. The bus route gives a lovely light sweep through the image, giving the GOMA a cool, ethereal look.

“Pastel Reflections"

A stunning pastel sunset over the Glasgow. The view down the Clyde was spectacular, with the Tall Ship Glenlee complementing the sleek lines of the new Govan Bridge as the red and orange colours flared up on the horizon.

Off Roading.

A hidden relic in the Highlands, this abandoned Opel Olympia sits deep in the woods near Loch Vaa. The way the sun sliced through the trees made the whole scene feel frozen in time — like nature gently reclaiming history.

Symphony of the Sea

The stunning Bow Fiddle Rock on a beautiful day along the Moray coast.

Using a slow shutter, I turned the crashing waves into a surreal mist effect that really highlights the details of the rocks.

Advance

A blue hour long exposure shot of the new Renfrew Bridge. Originally went down here to get a sunset shot but it didn’t quite work out. So after waiting for the sun to set and for the bridge to open to traffic again after letting a boat pass through, I captured this shot

Lost.

An old, abandoned Opel Olympia from the 1930s hidden in the forest near Loch Vaa.

Took me a while to find this but well worth the effort. I wanted to capture it through the nearby trees with the sun piercing through the leaves to create areas of light and shadow. #photography #Abandoned

Heritage.

Sunset at the Old Packhorse Bridge in Carrbridge. Built in 1717, it is is the Scottish Highlands’ oldest known stone bridge.

Crossing sunset.

Lucked out with the weather last week, capturing this shot of the sun setting behind the new Govan bridge. Really happy with the pastel tones in this one! 😃

Splash.

Made my first trip to Bow Fiddle Rock last week and lucked out with the weather, the sun piercing the clouds as the waves crashed against the rocks.

Really happy with how the photos turned out for this one but keen to visit here again in the future.
