Colour film photograph taken from the south side of the Store on a cold winter's day. Most visitors don't visit this side but it's worth it. If you look closely there is a person in this picture giving a sense of scale to the pinnacles, would also make a great talking point should you have guests looking at the picture on your wall
Probably the perfect winters day, low cloud make the central peak stand out from the mountains that surround it, a little bit of snow just to add to the magic. The colour of the water and stones really do make this a special place. It is said the water here is so pure you can drink from the river. This photograph was take on an old Mamiya 645J using Kodak Ektar which really suits the colours of the place

Sunrise up at the Old Man of Storr, reflected in a small lochen dark peat stained water on the side of the mountain, on the Isle of Skye. This image was captured on Kodak Technical Pan 25 using 4x5 sheet film in an old 1960s MPP microtechical camera. Its quite a climb up to this point, particularly carrying this camera equipment and tripod, the journey back down is particularly difficult on your legs.
The pebble beach, probably the biggest pebbles to be found anywhere, at Elgol on the Isle of Skye, long exposure to show the movement in the water, came very close to getting very wet feet, what we do for our love of places like this.

The beautiful Talker Beach on the Isle of Skye with its unusual blend of rocky foreshore and a mix of white and black sand that never fully blends leaving lovely patterns when the tide is out. This picture was captured on a very windy and wet day in February 2019 and shows the left hand headland of the bay. Shot using a 1960s large format field camera loaded with a stunning but unfortunately now rare Fuji film stock, the original negative is quite capable of being printed large enough to cover a wall.
The Old Manse would have been the home of the priest that looked after the Church of Kilchrist on the Isle of Skye, it is about 20 minutes walk from the church and very exposed and isolated, life must have been far from comfortable when this was still in use. This is only a few miles from Broadford, just off the road to Elgon. Shot on Large Format film using a now rare Fuji film.
Probably the best known feature on the Isle of Skye, the pinnacles used to be part of the cliff that stands behind them but over time they have split away and slid down the hill. It is quite a blimp to get to the point where this photograph was taken, particularly with this much snow on the ground, but without a doubt this was the best day of my whole trip, myself and a few friends spent over 5 hours up there, making it to both sides of the standing stones. Absolutely breathtaking place. this was shot on a medium format film camera using my favourite black and white film, Fuji Acros.
Just one of so many features on the shore at Elgol on the Isle of Skye, the beaches tend to be covered in the biggest pebbles known to man making it quite difficult to walk out to these stunning places

Shot on a large format camera using Fuji Acros sheet film.
