Hi Birma, Enjoying the series immensley, your trips to Skye feel like a regular event that I always look forward to. I have only been once to Skye and we got two part days of fine weather and the rest of the week fog and rain, but still enjoyed it - we stayed in Milovaig near Neist Point, and hope t...

Thanks for the comments, yes Doc I think there is a bit of a tint in the house picture will have to correct it. You spotted what I did Yildiz with the light patterns on the carpet caused by the sidelighting and the pew shadows. Here are a couple more from Sunday Some more snow drops in the woods htt...

As I said this is a new venture for me, although I have shot the odd celebration or two in the past, so I am reading and learning all I can. The key speaker at ...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, great couple to work with and both families were good fun. Now I have to learn album design as well hiccup!
