Beautiful image 😍

A snap of the west sands at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland this morning. Still windy after Storm Darragh but a beautiful winter's day.

Edda (Iceland 2018)

Taken during one of my first two trips to Iceland. Hardly anyone ever speaks of the snow covered peaks and light conditions of that place.

A striking nighttime view of Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii, its fiery heart glowing with immense power and radiance. At the center of the scene is the volcano’s caldera, where molten lava churns and glows in intense hues of orange, yellow, and gold. The light is so vivid that it illuminates the surrounding crater walls, casting them in deep shades of red and warm amber. The volcanic rock is rugged and uneven, its textures emphasized by the play of light and shadow. Wisps of steam rise from the caldera’s edges, swirling softly into the night sky, creating a hazy, ethereal effect that softens the stark outlines of the crater. Above the caldera, the night sky glows with fiery gradients, transitioning from a searing orange near the eruption to softer pinks and purples that blend into the darkness. The horizon blurs where the glowing crater meets the surrounding landscape, emphasizing the overwhelming intensity of the volcanic activity. The bright colors of the lava contrast sharply with the surrounding dark terrain, where layers of black volcanic rock stretch outward, their jagged shapes barely visible in the shadows. In the foreground, the dense silhouettes of a Hawaiian forest frame the scene. The trees are dark and textured, their outlines softened by the glow of the caldera. The forest provides a grounding element, emphasizing the scale and raw power of the eruption. The entire scene feels alive, the motion of the lava and the rising steam adding a dynamic energy that contrasts with the stillness of the surrounding night. Kīlauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, a living testament to the ever-changing nature of Earth. In Hawaiian culture, it is revered as the home of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes. This eruption is not only a geological event but a spiritual and cultural phenomenon, symbolizing creation, destruction, and renewal.

Liquid fire unfolds,
A landscape of searing light,
Earth’s eternal forge.

A simple photo of some gentle sea waves disappearing into the distance. Intentional camera movement has been used to give the image a gentle calm look.

An ICM image of sea waves off the east coast of Scotland. I was aiming to make the waves disappear into the horizon. 🌊

Love this Scott. I've only been to that waterfall once and didn't climb down but I'll maybe give it a go next time. It did look like a precarious clamber down to that position!!

A white Lighthouse stands on a strong granite base. The sea is blue and turquoise with white waves on the shore. A golden sand beach is in the foreground.

Long exposure shot of the majestic Rattray Head Lighthouse in Scotland. Originally established in 1895. I love the colours of the sea, in sharp contrast to the yellow of the sand.

The Kibble Palace glasshouse is backlit by the sunrise. Trees, flats and a church spire are visible in the background. In the foreground is frost covered grass.

The magic of Skye...

...also the magic of custom in camera white balance :D

Thank you so much!

Thanks Ronik, that's very kind of you 🙏🏻

View of a large mural on the gable end of a row of red sandstone tenements in Glasgow's High Street. The mural depicts a man in a red wooly hat and coat with a Robin perched on his hand. The man is said to represent St Mungo the founding patron saint of Glasgow.

'Morning Glory'

This image was shot back in 2020. It’s still a personal favourite. Two years later it was commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year: Collection 15 Book.

A favourite location of mine too. Just 15 mins from home.

Great composition David. Really calm and relaxing image.

Drone shot of Kenmure Hill Temple, an octagonal stone structure with no roof. View looks out towards sunset view of Lochwinnoch.

Ah the Campsies, I used to live in Torrance near there.

This long exposure was taken at the Loup of Fintry in the Campsie fells... Wonderful place.
