".... a camera never made a great picture anymore than a typewriter wrote a great novel"

A quote from Charlie Waite Photography about this image Our first highly commended image from April's "Skies" competition is by Phil Durkin. Charlie said of the image: "A clear and immediate relationship between the fingers of the sky and the foreground rocks. The long shutter speed was entirely appropriate injecting a dreamy and romantic feel". This picture is "The Cuillin From Elgol" taken in March 2019 with late winter snow capping the peaks of this magnificent and beautiful mountain range.

My long exposure image "The Mystical Shell" received a Highly Commended in the 2018 Take-A-View Landscape Photographer Of the Year Competition and was The Judges Choice for Mr James Tims - Art Director at AA Publishing My other acceptance this year was "The Spillway" and it received a "Commended"
