Lovely galleries on Clive's website. Click here
Don't you find it difficult to get really good shots when the sun does not come out? The shadows are softer and sometimes the colours are better. Very moody the mountain shot - just as Glencoe feels like much of the time. The art is to show not what it looks like, but what it feels like, and for me these shots do just that.
Clive Watkins is a member of the Townend camera club, n ear Irvine. The galleries in his website are really nice, and very varied

David, why don't you do it professionally?
If you click on the title to this post, above, you will get through to David Watson's website. There you will see wonderful shots and he is an amateur! I know many people who are gifted amateurs in so many different fields. Many of them say at some time that they would like to make their hobby their living. I once heard someone say that if you do this you will either make a poor living or you'll end up hating your hobby. I think there is something in that. Congratulations David, and thank you for the permission to use them.
