I once wondered why photographers have a page about the equipment they use just like golfers have something about the clubs in their bag. Then one day I visited Ffordes Photographic in Beauly, fantastic shop by the way. Among other things, I remembered that one of my lenses was missing the lens cap so I...
For those photo aficionados that want to be picky, if you enlarge this image and look closely it does demonstrate a lack of sharpness but I don’t mind this because of the sentiments I have behind this photograph.

Tailend Moss is a lowland raised bog situated between Bathgate and Livingston. Every so often I feel I should have a year long project – most of which don’t get past day one. I have been visiting Tailend Moss now for many decades so I feel that I would like to record its development over...
