Hello! My interest in photography has grown since buying my first digital camera and joining Flickr in 2005. I photograph a variety of subjects from whatever catches my eye - landscapes, patterns, details, weather, people, nature and "the unusual". My photostream is a combination of visual diary and portfolio pieces.
I live on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles which is in Scotland, U.K. It's a beautiful, rugged, remote and often windswept place, perfect for photographers who like big, dramatic skies and chasing the light.
Occasionally I make short videos and an ongoing project is shooting time-lapse sequences around these islands.

After spending umpteen hours looking at tens of thousands of pictures on Flickr, some of the best, most awesome and striking ones have been taken by a photograher here in the Outer Hebrides. Even though he has an unfair advantage in the subject matter, these are still CONSISTENTLY awesome pictures of a very high standard. The one of the lonely tree on Lewis is probably my favourite picture anywhere on Flickr.

There is an old Gaelic saying that a Lewisman would be homesick in heaven, and when you look through Tim's photostream you can see why. His photos capture Lewis and Harris at their very very best. Add this to his skill in image manipulation, macro shots and throw in a quirky yet incisive eye, and you get a pretty good overview of his photographic ability. Highly recommended.

I cannot believe anyone has not already written Bluewave a testimonial yet! So I am proud to be the first. Blue actually is the person who introduced me to Flickrworld...thanks. If you view Blue's photos you will notice his diverse and ever changing photographic techniques. I don't think he ever sits still but must be photographing everything...and photographing them well! Blue too has a very discerning eye for detail and perfection, his comments toward my stuff has always been keen, to the point and with the intent to make me better. Thanks again! Anyway stop by and checkout his photostream and I guarantee you it will inspire you. Keep'em coming Blue.
