In amongst the dunes of Bamburgh Castle

  • Historic Environment Scotland manage access; you have to pay to enter the site. The funds are used to keep the land in check (such as mowing the grass), which ensures that as much as possible these places are accessible to as many people as possible. They also manage conservation of these places too, stop other bits falling over and hurting people etc.

  • Heh, where do you think all the inspiration comes from?

  • These and many others throughout the UK, for sure.

    The crazy geology near Howick along the Northumberland coast

  • Nope. Cross-stratification in sandstones. Each curved layer represents an ancient dune or ripple that migrated across a river channel or shallow sea floor.

    Just one of many fantastical rocks along this stretch of coast

  • Thanks! Where do you think Elden Ring gets a lot of its inspiration from?

  • Aye, the weather was just lovely. I had to make conscious decisions to find the shadows and dark places in order to make the light and compositions work in my favour.

    Sunset at the Devil's Beef Tub. Yes you read that right

  • Thank you, I do try to achieve a more painterly feel.

    Some of my favourite mountains in all of Scotland

  • Cheers! This was shot just after sunrise and we were one of the first up there in October, so definitely a lot more quiet than peak season.

    Pure geological drama: The Storr, Isle of Skye

  • I love that the UK as a whole has managed to hold on to so many stone circles. There's something magical and mysterious about them, thinking about the thousands of years they've been there.

    Geeking out at the geology around Fife Ness

  • It does seem to inspire a somewhat "marmite" reaction in people.

    The striking design of the V&A Dundee

    A pink sandstone remnant of a former sea cliff formed around 15,000 years ago

  • You're right, I was supposed to write "wind and sea" but habit took over.

  • This could easily be a film poster of some nature. Fantastic.

    Millions of years of wind and rain in the East Neuk of Fife

    Ancient sea caves, now standing alone

  • I'm keen on ensuring there's a sense of distance in my landscape work, and one way to achieve that is making sure your black levels lighten as the distance increases. I achieve this by diffusing then lightening black levels selective the further in the distance an object is.

    My favourite peak in all of Wales

    A great example of Brutalist architecture, it divides opinion sharply

    Managed to nab the last of the snow with this beautiful hike

    The forecast showed ONE day of clear weather, so I rearranged work shifts for it
