Welcome to Scotland, the bonniest country I know, Lochs, Mountains, wonderful reflections. Have a wander through my pages and see if you find anything to whet your appetite for a visit to my homeland.
I'm a retired professional and still learning every day.
Thanks for all your support in the past and maybe in the future too.
Brilliant portfolio Dougie, I'm a Scot myself but sadly no longer live there. Regular visitor though and just returned from a recent photography workshop in Assynt though. Truly inspising! Anne

I can't believe I haven't posted a message in here before Dougie! Such a wide variety of landscapes and a collection to be proud of. You continue to inspire and motivate.

Great portfolio Dougie , if I could live anywhere it would be Scotland, probably the Western Isles. Spend two weeks Island hopping every year and as long as you don't mind 14 degrees and a bit of rain no better place in the world.
Hope you have a great Christmas and Lang may your lum reek

Absolutely fantastic! This is another pf that's a book by itself. Had heard so much about Scotland and now after seeing your pf, I do agree about Scotland being one of the most beautiful places on this earth. Thanks for sharing all these lovely shots. Yes, I really enjoyed going through your pf.

A really beautiful and interesting Pf. I enjoyed looking around at your collection. Have been to a few of the places on a trip home a few years ago. This was a wonderful reminder of our time in Scotland. Being born and raised in Derby I really miss the British Isles gorgeous countryside. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos with us. Maybe one day in the future my work will improve to this standard, but for now have to keep plugging along.

A wonderful portfolio, thoroughly enjoyed looking through it unfortunately ran out of time at page 13 due to having to get back to work... I visit the West Highlands every couple of years so have to take pot luck with the weather, so it is great to see a different side to the country and its many moods. Thanks for a lovely treat.

Have just spent a very enjoyable time browsing your portfolio with a hot cappucino in hand, and what a way to spend time. Until last week I had never been to the Highlands, having just spent 6 days in the region,I now recognise a good few of the places. The scenery is stunning, it must be wonderful to have such sublime scenes so close to you. Your ability to capture these scenes and do them justice is evident throughout your portfolio. Thank you for a whistle stop guided tour.

Hi Dougie, i've been off the net for a while now and have no hope of catching up with everyone's pics, so i'll just leave a note for you here to say how much I admire your fine Scottish landscapes, I feel like i'm having such an enjoyable guided tour around Scotland when I see them.

Your gallery is truly beautiful and worth the visit! You capture the beauty of the Scottish landscape very well :)
Looking forward for more eye treat!
Do you use any filters (ND, polarizers..) for your shots?

Rachel that's very kind of you. I tend to use one lens most of the time, I rarely change lenses during a shoot. Your zoom will cover a lot of ground and your legs can do the rest moving forwards and backwards also up and down. Concentrate on the images and what you're seeing and not the lenses and camera.
Best of luck hope you have a great time, look forward to seeing your work.

This is a stunningly beautiful portfolio Dougie. Landscapes to die for. I am off walking in the Peak District at the end of the month and obviously want to take some landscape shots. All I have is the 18-55 mm lens that came with the camera. Any tips for how I can take the best possible landscape photos would be very welcome.

Hi Douglas, thanks for all your comments they are much appreciated coming from such a good photographer. Thought I'd let you know how impressed I am with Lightroom 2, it costs a heck of a lot for a piece of software but I'm pretty certain I am going to buy it. It makes things so simple, all the things you wish you could do to save time. I have dowloaded a trial version for a month free trial and I love how much you can change without actually degrading the quality of the photograph.
I'd recommend you have a go and have a look through the tutorials so you can get the most out of it. My favourite thing is the ability to 'add' a grad filter effect. Simple but effective.
All the best and keep them coming.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Dougie,
Thanks for all you comments recently. Your quality photos just keep coming. Makes me pine for my retirement in only 34 short years.
Better get back to work, keep those pension payments going.

Have just spent a bit of time browsing through your gallery. Always a pleasure to see your pictures. Your images are a great advertisment for what Scotland has to offer scenically. All the best .

Used to 'meet' you on another photo site (forget the name) some years back when you first started posting and left some nice comments on my images. You have come a long way since those early days, my friend, while I have stood still! But then you live in the most beautiful part of this country and have inspiration on your doorstep. Great portfolio - will try and look out for your images.

Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of viewing these breathtaking landscapes.

Thought I take an hour or so and go through you portfolio Dougie, several times lately I have referred to your work as masterful... believe me it's more than that. You have an unbelievable eye and talent for photography, every image is a real pleasure to view. You are a inspiration to me as a landscape lover just starting out on the long passage of learning..... Beware I may be picking your brain... Thanks for sharing your work

Hi Dougie, I just wanted to say thanks for the kind words. It looks like I've got plenty to learn from all the great photos on here. Yours too, you've got some fantastically atmospheric shots on here.

I think the images in your gallery are outstanding, I am new to this forum and have only just getting to look around.
One thing that I have noticed about your images is the use of cloud , to me an landscape image without cloud is like eating a meal without salt.
Thank you for sharing your world.

Doug, you are an underrated photographer on this site if you base it on click counts alone, but it proves that the dreaded blue heart is not a accurate measure of quality in its own right. You have an obvious love for the landscapes around you, and an eye for the light that illuminates them. Your images are beautiful, grand, and as inspirational as the landscape itself, and leave me hankering to return to these places. Need I say more?

A portfolio that has been a particular favourite of mine from the outset. In my opinion you'd be hardpushed to find a better collection of wonderfully varied images of Scotland anywhere. A mere glance at your showcase should be enough to entice the viewer inside for a better look. Simply excellent work.
All the very best.

Excellent work, an inspiration to get out there and get 'clickin'.
