iPad for the travel photographer?
I recently picked up one of the new iPads, and while image processing wasn’t high on the agenda when I bought it I thought that my recent trip around the Hebrides would be the perfect opportunity to see how it would play for editing photos on the fly. read more…
Island hopping
The Hebrides are difficult to quantify. Quite aside from the ever changing scenery the islands have an atmosphere that is at once both immediately Scottish and completely at odds with anywhere else in the country.

The wedding season
As Christmas draws nearer the wedding season grinds to a halt, people quite rightly tending to prefer blue skies and a bentley to blue lips and a gritting lorry for their big day.
