I want to attend your classes. Any chance that you could relocate to Scotland?

Looks very moody – much better in your pic than in real life. My tripod never works this well for me

I’m sure it would if there were obvious people in the shot treasure :)

Just got home from the desert, to find this. What a beautiful treat.
Stuart Chapman
Lovely muted tones and an antiquated feel to the end of the day. I like the difference in water texture between the main ocean and the soft strip of still water at the edge. The lights on the pier / jetty are superb.
