New images from the Scottish Highlands

Mist over the higlands.

I have just returned from a rewarding trip to the Scottish Highlands, where I had the pleasure of photographing some of the most spectacular landscapes to be found in the UK, in some of the best weather conditions I have ever encountered within Scotland.

The shot above is just a taster of what I encountered, visit the latest images page to view many more!

Magic Happens

This image is just one of a sequence that I captured whilst hiking The Overland Track in Tasmania, Australia, in the spring of 2007. I am ashamed to admit that this image has remained as an unprocessed RAW file for nearly two years! Having a backlog of images to process is not an ideal situation although it does often mean that I am busy working on personal and commercial projects - which really can't be a bad thing.

I really thought that I had to show this image to the world.. finally! There is also an Overland Track Gallery over at www.jasonfriendimages.co.uk, should you like to see some more!

Summer workshop dates

newcastle_photography_workshop
I am delighted to announce a selection of new locations for the forthcoming summer photography workshops.

The summer season kicks off with a photography workshop in Newcastle upon Tyne and continues with a selection of dates throughout the county of Northumberland.

Fellow professional photographer David Taylor will be leading the majority of the summer workshops, whilst I prepare for fatherhood at the start of July! The only workshop that I will be leading during the summer is based at one of our most popular locations, Hadrian's Wall.

In addition to the scheduled dates, our popular '1 on 1' private tuition photography workshops are still available.
