In March 2022 I made this image of a tawny owl at twilight at an ISO of 16000 with the OM-1 camera and there’s barely has any noise present! The High Res mode on the OM-1 can be used handheld to make a 50MP image. It does this by taking 12 images and combining them, […]

I’ve had the M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 macro lens since last year, but it wasn’t before I recently invested in a flash (Olympus FL-900R) and a diffuser (Cygnustech) that I felt like I started to get some macro images that I was happy with. In this post I’ll show the images that I got on a […]

I’d heard a lot about how close you can get to puffins on Lunga, one of the Treshinsh islands west of Mull. So during on a camper van trip to the Isle of Mull early summer 2023, I was beyond excited to finally take a trip to this mythical island.

In May 2023, I took a holiday with Alex and Brew dog to the Isle of Mull. Obviously I couldn’t leave my camera behind and every opportunity I got I snuck away for a little bit of photography. This means my photography was limited to what was near our camper van, but on the spectacular beaches that we stayed at there was always something to photograph!

We can spend so much money the newest and fanciest gear these days, but do we need it? Can we still create great images with budget gear? I’m a big believer that the photography gear we use is a tool and most of the great images we produce comes more from using our knowledge of composition, light and animal behaviour.

Black Grouse are stunning, secretive birds with a thrilling courtship display. Extremely sensitive to disturbance, it can be a challenge to photograph them, but with the right set up, it’s an unforgettable experience.

A fantastic trip to Dovre in January 2023 where I was joined by Gunnar Dresler, Oddbjørn Austevik and Trond Westby to photograph the muskox in the snow. A cabin trip with good company and 3 days of wildlife photography, I can’t think of a better way to kick off the year!

One of my favourite things to do at the end of the year is to go through my Lightroom collection and pick out my favourite images of the year. I started doing this in 2020 and settled on 21 photos, so now that’s been my standard number of images I pick out each year. I use b-roll I’ve captured through the year and make a video set to music with no talking.

When we finally got a snow day in Perthshire I spent all day out filming and photographing my local wildlife. I really wanted to put together a Christmas Special video for YouTube and I’m happy to say that the snow, the wildlife and the photos all came together in the end.
