Taj Mahal Portfolio

I've just put my images from the Taj Mahal up on my main portfolio page. Some of you may have seen the Taj Mahal podcast I have, but it's always nice to see the images on screen outside of a podcast because they are not compromised by the conversion to video.

It was an interesting portolio to work on. Sometimes you go to a place with great expectations and I certainly thought I would come away with some great sunrise shots. But the smog in Agra is choking, and I was not prepared for zero vilibility. Still, I'm very satisifed with these images - some are abstract, having taken advantage of the smog to isolate objects and people. I also like the muted tones from shooting in such (artificial) soft light.

New Portfolio – Winter Adventure

Hi All, I have a new portfolio winter adventure

This march, I spent a few days sitting in a damp caravan on the isle of Eigg, hoping that the rain would abate and perhaps I’d get a glimpse of the Cuillins of Rum.

But I couldn’t have planned it better. On my second day of nursing a chest infection in my nice wee damp musty caravan (great for chest infections), the weather turned wintry and for the first time in a long while, I got to experience Scotland covered in a blanket for snow.

Timing is often everything.

I hope you enjoy these images. I’m busy working on new images of Scotland and as part of this, I’m now venturing further afield onto the islands. I’ve always wanted to visit, but travelling distances and shortness of time often means that it is an impossible task. But as I write this, I’m glad to say that I’m in the Hebrides.

Expect some new images from Harris and Lewis in a week or so. I’ve been short of sleep again. With the sun setting around 11pm and rising at 3am, I’ve been up at 2am to photograph the Callanish stones with pink light in the sky and a full moon in the frame, unplanned, but what a catch!

And the beaches are something else. Time and space to reflect on where I’ve come with my photography and where it is heading, it’s been another adventure.

Torridon Photo Workshop

I'm in the process of setting up a photo workshop for Torridon, for this October, November. The light at this time of year can be particularly wonderful and Torridon is a special place for me with great views of lochans, mountain ranges and some cracking views from Applecross bay towards the Cuillins of Skye.

If you're interested in this trip, just pop me an email to bruce@brucepercy.com

I'll have more details up soon.
