I am
based on Royal Deeside in Aberdeenshire. In 1986 I began compiling an
extensive collection of my photographs when I established my freelance
photography business. I was a BAPLA registered
photo-library from 1990
- 2010.
News update:
There have been Aurora Borealis display during 2012, with two good
displays on the 1st and 8th of October and the best I have seen since
2006. So far 2013 has been very quiet and great debate about the Solar Max
continues. Several of the images from that
activity are on Crooktree.com and
see the Links Aurora Photography article for useful information and links.
A small display on the evening of the 13th January,
2012 between 8-10.30pm. Not picked up by AuroraWatch as the data is now
coming from Lancaster as the Crooktree computer has a fault. Watch
Spaceweather more closely to pick up early warnings, especially if you are
living in Northern Scotland.

I was delighted to have a couple of my
photographs included in a recent Birlinn Books publication The
Gathering Stream, including the front cover photo. The book is by
James Miller and is the history of the Moray Firth.

I was also involved in another project for
Birlinn during 2012, providing photographs for Britain's Last Frontier:
A Journey along the Highland Line by Alastair Moffat
The two Aurora Displays below show that
displays over Scotland can be seen during all months of the year as they
are related to activity on the Sun's surface and are not just a event
occurring in Winter on Earth.
Current activity has been low for a number of
years but is beginning to increase again as the new Solar Cycle develops.
The photos below are
two summer 2003 Aurora displays with Aberdeen photos below.
