Truly thrilled to be awarded Runner Up prize in the 'Scottish Landscape Photographer of The Year 2021' Seascape section with my picture 'The Blue Hour - Isle Of Harris'. It will be published in this years SLPOTY book and displayed at a major exhibition. The annual competition includes some truly superb images taken from some of the most beautiful and stunning places Scotland has to offer.Pictures were submitted from photographers based all over the world earlier this year and I am honoured to receive such an award in the company of some of the best seascape photographers in UK and overseas. It's a 213 second long exposure captured with the use of the Lee Filters ProGlass IRND 10 stop filter. I spent a few days in North West Scotland on the coast which was the first leg of my trip, then on to the Outer Hebrides.
A stunning unspoilt island that is so relaxed topped with locations of endless beauty. I have waited several months for the conditions to be perfect on the west coast of Lancashire over on the Fylde coast so I could capture this single boat.
Highlights
read more › Phil became interested in photography in his early 30's, back in the days of film. After his two children had grown up and were about to make their own lives, the additional free time (and money!) has re-ignited his passion for photography. He finds himself taking less images than of previous years and will only release the shutter when all the essential elements line up and if a shot is worth capturing. Often the light will not produce the necessary requirements and fail to materialise, but that's just 'Landscape Photography' for you!
