Photo of the week: History V

This is one of our most popular pictures on Flickr. It was taken in Greenland in September 2010, during our trip to the Arctic. It’s a phenomenal natural rock formation, a living piece of history which quite literally documents hundreds…

Photo of the week: From Schiehallion

This is the first panoramic shot we’ve uploaded to the website. It’s a 7 frame (landscape) panorama from the top of Schiehallion looking down onto Loch Rannoch (left), Dunalistair Water (centre), and Loch Tummel (right). It’s a stunning vista, and…

At one with the farm animals

I love taking pictures on a farm. On many a holiday I find myself crawling into chicken hutches and hanging over dry stone walls, knee deep in mud and excrement to get the perfect shot. What I like best is…

Worth a shot?

We have taken a leap these last few weeks and have entered one of our favourite photo competitions (I won’t say which so as not to tempt fate!). It’s daunting to think that our pictures could ever potentially be seen…

Photo of the week: Mallard Messiah

Photo of the week: New Year Sparks, Boston

I love the romance of this image. We usually steer clear of taking pictures of people – but there was something about this couple that made us break our rules. The black and white cityscape against the seemingly deserted park…

New Gallery – Boston

We’ve uploaded some new photos to our website from our recent trip to Boston in Dec 2010. The gallery features iconic images of the Boston skyline, winter scenes from New Year’s Eve 2010/2011 and a collection of images from Harvard…

Photo of the week: The Treasury at night

I love this photo. It’s iconic, evocative and immediately takes me back to Jordan – a country I fell in love with when visiting for the first time. Petra was everything I imagined – and more.  I could stand and…

Photo of the week: Missing the point.

I love this photo for its humour and irony. It features a tourist whale spotting boat, upon which several passengers scan the horizon, binoculars glued to their eyes in search of humpback whales. Unbeknown to them, there is a humpback…
