Beautiful portfolio of the view of Scotland.Stunning work.

Good evening Barbara

What fantastic scenes on your site.

Hello Barbara, Just found you website last evening, searching for an area of Skye that I wanted to book a bed and breakfast near, but did not know the exact region. I found it with your pictures of the Gesto Farm. All of Skye is beautiful, but this region is stunning, when it is sunny. Your photos are amazing. I have been to Scotland twice, and having been all over the world for disaster relief and seeing so many different places, I have to say that Scotland has my heart. Your pictures of the Highlands are breathtaking. You inspire me to continue to take photos when I travel. People always tell me my photos are so incredible, but after seeing yours I realize a master when I see her. Keep up the work, and I will check back often. I ordered some of your prints as well. Thank you for showing Scotland to the world. Holly

Hello Barbara, hope you are well. Miss you on flickr :~{
Your website is amazing, love the music as well.
Will have to visit your website more often to seen your
lovely work.
All the best Ray

Stunning photography - bringing back so many memories of my visits to Scotland. Beautiful work!

Looking at your beautiful collection of photographs has really inspired and excited me. We are headed to Scotland in 5 days for our honeymoon and will be visiting many of the areas you have photographed. We purchased the Nikon D5100 with 18mm-200mm Nikkor lens recently and I am very excited to use it for the first time on our trip. I am curious as to which camera you shoot with and are your images manipulated afterwards?

Loved your work here in cyber space.. Enjoyed admiring the processes you've implemented.
Very envious.. best of luck to you..

Beautiful images from your country. They are wonderful to view and very inspirational. The light is fantastic and so is the mood you capture.

Fantastic Photography it takes my breathe away- incredible!!!
How i would love to travel to your beautiful Country, it looks amazing what you have captured of it.
I have added you on RedBubble I m LJ From OZ, i have just started out in Photography, and can only hope to be one day as fantastic as you!

i am so proud of you babs you have come so far and i agree with all youre friends you are the best landsdcape photographer in the north of scotland

Hi Barbara,

I think everything about your beautiful photography has already been said,,,nothing short of outstanding,,,beauty of nature at it's best.
I'm originally from the Island of Bute but have been in central British Columbia for many years.
I'm retired and my second passion is oil painting, you have so many breathtaking works some of which I would like to paint, with your permission of course.

Kind regards,

Hello Barbara, you might remember me from a little while back, as I was commenting on this superb website. Just to say hope you had a good winter taking your shots, hope the weather was kind to you. Not for me though, I've been laid up with a bad knee injury after falling down my stairs in the house, and as you know I've only got the use of one hand, so I couldn't stop myself once it started, I just tucked my head in and hoped for the best, I've not touched my camera for 10 weeks now, but hae ho I'm sure it won't take to long now.

Cheers

Happy shooting.

Heart-stopping. Enthralling. Moving. Delicious.

I followed your Link from Redbubble.com.
You have nothing but FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL artwork here!

I came across your work through 'Advanced Photographer' magazine: I think your work is absolutly stunning and something to aspire to.

Hi Barbara , I came across your site on Redbubble, simply brilliant in both presentation and the images which are outstanding. I have visited Scotland a couple of times and I have found the scenery stunning.

Hi Barbara, fantastic web site full of gorgeous images. What a fantastic eye you have and a deep knowledge of your subject.

Hi Barbara! My fiancee and I have just recently returned from a trip to Skye, and have just taken a search of photos and came across your website. Simply amazing work. Stunning composition. And beautiful subtle HDR editing.
It was my second trip to Skye, and decided to take my girlfriend atop Old Man of Storr during a snowy sunrise on 20th December 2010 and propose to her.
I wish we had more time around Skye to capture the various light and moody skies. Fortunate to see such work from the other side of the world. We'll be back in a few years, and hopefully have more time and opportunity to capture just a small fraction of the landscapes you have.

Hello there.. i was browsing through 20 photography mags on the shelf today and bought Advanced Photographer simply for your breathtaking images of Scotland. I love the 'Isle of Syke' photograph. The colours & detail are amazing, yet it is soft and pleasing on the eye.

Just wanted to say how much I've loved looking at your photos. I have a great love for this part of the world and you obviously do too. It's great to see it interpreted in all it's moody glory. Wish I lived in Wester Ross. Maybe one day...

A Google search for Scottish landscape photography will unearth a plethora of websites selling images of our beautiful country, many of which contain imagery which can, at best, be described as uninspiring and, at worst, of a standard that would have most of us reaching for the “delete” key.

Occasionally, however, one comes across a sparkling gemstone in this sea of mediocrity and Barbara’s website - thoughtfully constructed to exhibit the full range of her considerable talent – is just such; it is a pleasure to view - and view again and again. In particular, her images of the magnificent Isle of Skye – my spiritual home and one of the most photographed of the Hebridean Isles – are nothing short of perfection. Barbara, quite simply, has “the eye”. Well done, kid - I’m proud to have you as a valued photographic colleague and, more importantly, as a dear friend!

The best of the best describes how I feel about Barbara.
I have never met Barbara but I know she is one amazing Photographer and one of the kindest most helpful persons I have met on the internet.
There are no adequet words to descibe the beauty you see in the photographs in this truly superb site.
Keep clicking Babera, the 'Best of the Best'

Hi again! Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm looking forward to see many more amazing images from you and sharing many of mine with you. Did you have a chance to shoot the eclipse the other day dec 20th?

are any of the photos on your portfolio done with a medium format camera? thanks what kind of cam and lend do you use?

Came across your work only recently, i love how vivid the colours are and your use of HDR In your photographs is great. You should run a course on your techniques.

Hi Barbara, I holiday on Skye most years and would be delighted if I could take photos even a tiny fraction as good as yours - simply amazing pics. You have given me something to aspire to, thanks very much!

Your photography is breathtaking. I feel as if I can push my way through my computer screen and be right there smelling the air and touching the grass. So crystal clear your photos are!!!
Have a great day!!!

Came across your pictures on flickr and then went to Redbubble. Love the beauty you achieve from the amazing locations you seek out. I'm especially inspired by your water shots as I love to shoot water scenes.

I first came to this area when I was about five (1955). My father towed a caravan from south of Glasgow up to Achmelvich Bay. Then drove back and towed up his Shearwater catamaran. At the end of the holiday he did it all in reverse. I fell in love with Achmelvich and Suilven from then. In the 70's I took my wife up to Lochinver and we went into the village hall and had fish and chips. I went out to the phone box to phone my mother and ask her to guess where we were and how good the fish and chips were. When I said I was in Lochinver she said 'make sure you go into the hall and have the fish and chips.' Legend. We went to the hall to watch the cinema when I was up in the 50's (we holidayed at Achmelvich twice). The first time there were only about three caravans including ours and we used to go up to the farm to get milk every morning. It was still warm, straight from the cow. There was no electricity. The second time there were more caravans and a lot of kids. A crew were up there making a film and they asked us kids to come along and make as if a disused building at the back of the bay was a school, which it apparently had been. Sadly, this did not lead to an invitation to Hollywood. In the intervening years I have been up Stac Pollaidh, Cul Mor and Cul Beag and in a near white-out on Conival and Ben More Assynt. I've wodered around Reef, I've walked up the Inver and over to Glencanisp Lodge and I've gone back to look at Achmelvich and Vesty's. I've camped at Achnahaird and stayed at The Naismith's and the Cavers in Elphin and the hostel at Inchnadamph and now I'm wondering if Angela is still there.
The week-end before last I walked over from Elphin to Lochinver with another 5 members of Strathaven Climbing Club. The stags were roaring all morning and we had a beautiful day, just like I had 35 years previously, doing a very similar walk with my wife and her brother ( we saw an adder sunning itself on a sandy bank) and.....Your photoes are quite exceptional and you obviously have great technique and skill as well as a wonderful eye. I will treasure looking at the gallery often and all the wonderful memories they invoke. Thanks ever so much.

thanks so much for these galleries..
we do also the same countries.
and i come back in 2 weeks to your country and try to do the same.
have you a gallery in kyle of lochalsh?????
i'll be in november 9 to 13.
best regards

Hi Barbara, just checking in. Fabby work (but you knew that already!). Off to Lewis on Sunday for a week, guess who's just bought a 5D :-)

I love your pictures very much......... Please keep going making them.
Perhaps you are interested in my site "Different Pictures of Amsterdam" ?
Have fun...

I have to say: Your work is inspiring, I thank you so much for writing how you took the shot, I love photoghaphy, but I know nothing about it, I struggle, I try, and try, I hope some day to learn more, phography it's not about money, it's about the pleasure and enjoyment of others that one's photos bring to others, it's seen in one milisecond the hand of God, to see beauty through his eyes, and you capture that beauty, I thank you once more, for sharing your talent to the world, you can capture what one try to remember, it's almost tangible, may you have health, and hapiness always. CNU

Stunning Scotland photographs I love the different styles using lond exposure and HDR would look great on a Scottish calender. Viewing your work just encourages me to get out there and see more of my homeland.

Some of the most beautiful images I have seen on the web. Visited the West coast in August but could not capture the atmosphere like you. Will try again next year.

Great Images. Love your site. I just built a site using zenfolio. I'll be back often!!

I am moved by the incredible beauty, appreciative of your incredible gift, and in awe of the incredible God who created it all. Thank you for sharing, with a God's-eye perspective, an invitation to taste and see the land where my ancestors sojourned. I am convinced I must make the journey myself.
Blessings!

Barbara after seeing your work on redbubble I clicked the link to your site and I'm blown away you have a way of bringing the land to life, I have a yearly holiday in Scotland and it's so beautiful but I'v being unable to do it justice but you have. you have a wonderful body of work.
yours marshallc

Your photos are truly wonderful, they bring back memories of when we used to spend holidays touring Scotland. We especially love the West Coast, you have the ability to capture all its wonderful views and moods. Thanks for the proof Scotland’s scenery is as magnificent as we remember. Thanks again for you wonderful web site.
Must save up and visit Scotland again soon.

This is maybe the one most fantastic photo sites I have seen, your works is absolute fantastic, and the presentation is marvelous, well done!!

Hi Barbara

just visited here from Redbubble

what an outstanding portfolio of images you have, they are quite unique and exceptional.

Barbara, fantastic shots you have on your site. I'm likeing your HDR, and of course you do live in a special place in the world. I'm in Skye at the moment but I'm not having much luck with the weather this week. I'm a disabled photographer, after a climbing accident in 1999 in Glencoe, when I paralised my left arm, I've just been interested in photography since 2005, please have a look at my own website if you get a bit of time.

Kind regards

Beautiful, evocative images. Some of the best I've seen ever - and I've looked at many worldwide.
I live close to beautiful Heritage coast, but have moved your part of Scotland right up to the top of my list of places to go soon. Scottish tourism board should put you on commission!

Barbara - beautiful photos that capture an essence of the landscape. You understand light and great compositional skills. Very impressive.

Have found your website by chance,what amazing photos they are some of the best i have ever seen love the skye photos ,it has been 10 years since our last visit to skye,but i have just booked a week for the end of september staying in Ord ,if i can get just 1 shot half as good as yours i will go home happy.
Keep up the great work
Dennis

Amazing images throughout......consistent high quality work, wherever you travel !
You are gifted.

Now that I have had time to go through this site, it has reinforced in me that Barbara is without doubt amongst the top1% of great Scottish Landscape photographers... her mastery of colour and light within the landscape is unequalled, and she has the eye for composition and mood of a great artist...

Your entire gallery is awesome. You're one heck of a photographer Barbara.

You are very lucky to live in the most beautiful part of the world. But you also are very lucky to have the gift of capturing fantastic photo's of the landscape we love. Congratulations! Amazing photography! I enjoyed it very much!

Absolutely stunning images. It was a real pleasure to view !!

Thanks Lars, you are a great artist yourself, I much admire your work, so I take your comment as a HUGE compliment !
I am here by YOUR influence !

No worrries Dave, I joined in November, and only got around to uploading stuff this past week, internet problems, so just feeling my way around ! New kid on the block !
Thanks for your comment !

Hi, Barbara,

These are amazing captures of an amazing land. Fleeting light makes all the difference! Don't let the low visitor totals discourage you. Keep shooting and loving what you're doing.

Welcome Barbara

As the first visitor i would like to say: This gallery is going to be awesome people!
I know Barbara for a while now, and she keeps amazing me with the most wonderful landscapes.
It's obvious she takes the time needed and shoots with her heart. But hey, check out for yourself!

Lars
