A Vision Of Wild Scotland Photography Book

High Light. A Vision of Wild Scotland. High Light: A Vision of Wild Scotland. Colin Prior's work is about landscape photography at its limits. Shooting at the magic hours of dusk and dawn, he catches those rare moments when composition, fine light and colour combine to create a remarkable image. Each photograph captures fleeting moments of nature which will never repeat themselves exactly. The images verge on obsession, Prior camped out on the remotest peaks in Scotland to obtain them. This stunning new collection documents the dynamic nature of the Highlands landscape and wildlife, and sounds a clarion call for a new, engaged naturalism. In a world where the environment is increasingly being damaged, Prior argues, we should regain touch with what's left of the natural landscape rather than rely solely on superimposed solutions. A key reason why the natural environment is now in peril is precisely because of failures to understand its dynamic, in-flux nature. The portfolio combines breathtaking new examples of Prior's trademark panoramas - which continually appeal to the tourist/travel market - with a range of new medium-format images that push the boundaries of digital photography, of huge interest to his dedicated technical following.

Tour Scotland Hebrides Photography Book

Tour Scotland Hebrides Photography Book. Portrait of the Hebrides. A Journey to Scotland's Western Seaboard and Beyond. There are few places left in the world which possess such a mystery and fascination as the seas around Scotland. For centuries people have sung of the Hebrides; the islands have been written about, fought over, dreamt of, longed for and even to this day are still the subject of quite intense curiosity. Forming a splintered arc of some 500 islands wrapped around mainland Scotland's north-west coast, the Hebrides make up an area of breathtaking beauty, a kaleidoscope of colour, light and mood with a character created not only by the ever-changing sea and sky but by the geology, climate and still visible signs of the islands' unique social history. Almost everywhere that much sought after `away from it all, edge of the world' atmosphere seems to prevail with each individual island having its own distinctive characteristics. This book, packed with superb, evocative images captures that certain, yet sometimes indefinable atmosphere that is unique within the region. Considerable emphasis has been placed on three contrasting islands - Skye, Eigg and Harris, each with their own chapters, but not neglecting several of the remaining islands. This, coupled with an initial chapter describing the mainland western seaboard puts the Hebrides into their true island context as quite literally a place apart, a place beyond. Portrait of the Hebrides: A Journey to Scotland's Western Seaboard and Beyond.

Tour Scotland West Highland Way Photography Book

Tour Scotland West Highland Way Photography Book. Ronald Turnbull captures the highs and lows of the journey with beautiful photographs and a fascinating text that will delight those who have completed the walk and inspire those who want to. The 95 mile West Highland Way was thought out in the 1960s and opened in 1980. But in a sense it has always been here. Clansmen and cattle thieves, redcoats and Sir Walter Scott in quest of a fictional character he called Rob Roy, as well as Rob Roy himself, an honourable cattle thief, have travelled this route between the Lowlands and Lochaber. This book traces the journey of glens and low passes, under the crags and high grassy sides of seven of Scotland's hill ranges: from the Arrochar Alps of Loch Lomond to the Black Mount of Argyll, the Mamores and Ben Nevis. Along the way we see wild goats, the red deer of Rannoch, the golden eagle, and the meadow pipit. We enjoy purple orchids, wild heather and golden birches and walk through fields of yellow asphodel. Geologically, the West Highland Way is an outing from the Old Red Sandstone of the so-called Lowland Valley, through the grey schists of the Southern Highlands, to the great volcanic cauldron of Glencoe. As it unfolds underfoot, it's an ever-changing vista of heather and oakwood, of lochside and riverside, but also a journey through the whole life and history of Celtic Scotland. The West Highland Way.

Tour Scotland Glasgow Photography Book

Tour Scotland Glasgow Photography Book. The Spirit of Glasgow. When Glasgow was designated the 1990 European Capital of Culture, it seized the opportunity to invest heavily in both creating culture as well as celebrating what already existed.The result is that the city is now the third most visited in the UK, after London and neighbouring Edinburgh. But despite carefully dovetailed efforts to market its history and its modernity, this complex cosmopolitan city is as much a mystery as it ever was. Glasgow celebrates its sardonic humour through the likes of Billy Connolly and Rab C. Nesbitt, and its architectural genius through Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is full of united patriotic fervour yet is fiercely divided by loyalties to its two principal football teams. It is being developed, especially along the Clyde waterfront, at breakneck speed while it steadfastly hangs on to the memories of its founding fathers. Its transport system, especially its road network, panders to the twenty-first century need for speed and carves its elevated way through the very centre of the city, giving travellers an eye-level view of graceful elderly
facades of monumental buildings constructed when the automobile was still a rarity. Seen through the lens of unrivalled photographer Andy Stansfield, Glasgow is a European Capital of Contrasts. It is this dramatic juxtaposition of ancient and modern which dominates his photographic record of recent visits to the city
capturing the true spirit of Glasgow. The Spirit of Glasgow.

Glasgow from the Air covers the period from 1930 to 2005 in a series of black and white and colour photographs of almost every part of the city. A large number of the photographs have been drawn from the collection of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Others come from the Mitchell Library, and there are also rare Royal Air Force Reconnaisance shots taken during WWII. Descriptive text accompanies the aerial views, along with ground photographs that illustrate key points. The book is divided into eight chapters, with each one covering a different area of the city. The aerial views enable the discovery of surprising links between unconnected areas, as well as revealing large areas of green that we never knew existed. They also give a telling perspective on the impact of new developments, such as the M8 and the Clyde Expressway, which slashed through the city wiping out most of old Townhead, Cowcaddens, Finnieston and Anderson. Spanning 75 years, these incredible photographs clearly highlight the architectural and structural changes that have taken place in Glasgow over the decades. Glasgow from the Air: 75 Years of Aerial Photography.
