Morning reflections.

Had an early start a few weeks back and noticed the Clyde was perfectly calm. Despite the sun hiding behind the clouds, I captured this stunning reflection shot of the Finnieston Crane.

Peace.

Climbed up Ben A’an a few weeks ago with some mates. It was a cracking day for it, the clear skies giving way to views along Loch Katrine and across the Trossachs.

Crimson sunset.

I was on my way back from the match yesterday when I noticed the sky starting to turn red. Couldn’t resist the opportunity, so parked up nearby and grabbed my camera.

Cobalt Curve.

Visited the GOMA to get this blue hour long exposure shot. I positioned the camera nice and low along one of the shiny paving stones to give a nice reflective element to the shot. Just had to wait for a bus to pass through to create the perfect light trails.

What a show to sign off Glasgow 2026!

A stunning fireworks display along the Clyde brought the 11-day festival of sport to an end.

Delighted with how these photos turned out! 😃😃

The Glasgow Rose

I had to take the opportunity to photograph this stunning piece of artwork down by the Clyde.

The Glasgow Rose was designed by Glasgow-based artist Emer Tumilty in collaboration with NEWSUBSTANCE.

Line it up.

Had to stop by here on my way into town today as the the light had lined up perfectly straight down between the pillars of the Kingston Bridge.

Snuff Mill Bridge

I was doing some location scouting near Linn Park yesterday and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to photograph this iconic Glasgow landmark.

Alignment.

I was on my way back from the shops when I noticed the moon was going to line up perfectly with the Light and Life statue above the former Co-operative building in Glasgow.

Ben Chonzie.

Climbed Ben Chonzie with some mates at the weekend. Well worth the effort for the views over the cloud inversion. Cracking day all round! 🏔️ ☀️ ☁️

Sunshine and Rainbows.

I’d planned to head out for some photography tonight, but didn’t need to go far. Caught this stunning rainbow right from my window—the fading sun putting on an incredible show of colour.

Crimson curve.

A stunning red sunset over the Squinty Bridge in Glasgow. I live close to here but it’s one of my favourite spots for photography in Glasgow. 🤩

Kelvin Hue

This one is a bit trickier as it’s not lit up at night, but the blue hour light helped lift the building while making it pop out against the blue sky. Final touch was to let a bus pass by to allow some light painting across the front of the building

Titan Twilight.

I dashed along to Clydebank the other night as the sun was setting after noticing the Clyde was flat calm. Perfect conditions to capture the Titan Crane at blue hour with that mirror-like reflection below.

Really happy with how this one turned out.

Vast.

When visiting the iconic DC-3 Plane wreck in Iceland, I was surprised to find a second wreck a few metres away. This was towed here after crash landing elsewhere in the country.

The famous Strokkur Geyser mid eruption. This Geyser erupts every 6-10 minutes, reaching heights of up to 40 metres.

Rush hour.

Looking over the end of the Clydeside Expressway towards Glasgow City Centre with the rush hour traffic providing some striking light streaks!

The flowing waters of Seljalandsfoss beautifully catching the light from the setting sun. It was a fantastic experience to visit this waterfall and walk behind it.

The mighty Skogafoss waterfall.

Wanted to capture the scale of the waterfall in this shot, so framed in some of the visiting tourists to emphasise how tall Skogafoss is.
