This image was made at the National Trust Newhailes Estate near Musselburgh in Scotland.
The photograph was taken using a Canon Powershot A640 compact digital camera mounted on a tripod. The camera was fitted with a Hoya R72 IR filter. The exposure time was 6 seconds at f8 (it was a very still day!). A custom white balance was used - I calibrated this using a patch of green grass in full sunshine.

Studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, completing a four year degree course in Fine Art in the department of Drawing and Painting in 1986. During the foundation year at Art College I was introduced to 35mm film photography and given the opportunity to learn developing and printing techniques. I really enjoyed these classes and was lucky enough to be taught by Joseph McKenzie, regarded by many as the ‘Father of Modern Scottish Photography’. I have continued to be interested in photography ever since - and now enjoy exploring the creativity possible using digital techniques. Photography has renewed my wonder in the detail found in nature - it always challenges your preconceptions and constantly surprises you with its beauty.
