David just likes taking beautiful photographs

Aren't these lovely? David and his wife just like taking photographs and showing them to members of their camera club in Aberdeenshire. I've always found that photographers are rather quiet modest folks, who make lifelong friends. I really enjoy the photograph with the bike on top of the car. Thank you David. It is a shame that you don't post them on to Flickr so that everyone can enjoy them.

Some lovely photographs from Alistair Phipps. Click here for his Flickr photos

 Hidden Valley, is it? See what wonderful shots you get when you are up high.

Now this one, for me, tells an everyday story of hill walking folks. I love it. She doesn't care if you photograph her or not. She just needs water. Badly.

Look at this drama - hills of Morven we think, across Loch linnhe, about 5.00pm I reckon. Alistairs party did not have much luck with the weather but they made the most of it. Thanks for letting us post them Alistair, you are in the Draw for the free holiday break.

2 great photos from Iain Wood of Mearns, Stonehaven

The three sisters in Glencoe. Great shot. The link to Iain's Flickr page can be found by clicking on the headline. Thanks Iain.

In this picture you can just make out the figure of a man - I happen to know it is Doug Turnbull, a devotee of the Glen. He tells the story, it is going to be a long hike and a long day up the Hidden Valley.

Who do you think you are? Wonderful shot from Tony Shaw, of New Cumnock

Isn't he/she absolutely gorgeous? I'm going to assume a he, bit sexist, sorry. How did you make him pose for you like this? He doesn't like this photography business one little bit, but on the other hand, if his picture is going to be shown on the internet, well, he owes it as a duty to his owl friends to keep up appearances.
See Tony's Flickr page, by clicking on the title to the post. Yes, he and Jane are married to each other.

This lovely shot of Loch Etive is by Jane Shaw of New Cumnock

I asked Jane if she knew of anyone who might have some lovely shots of the area and she offered me the run of her Flickr pages. The link to them is there in the title to this post, if you click on it. She and her husband are both photographers. For me, the thing that makes this picture is the line of waves, they lead your eye into the view. Thank you Jane for letting us have it.
