Mountains

"I took a bite out of a mountain range. Thought my teeth would break, the mountain did. Let's go, I wanna go, all the way to the horizon." Biffy Clyro.It's appropriate that I'm quoting a Scottish band singing a song about mountains, because I'm just home from a huge circuit of Scotland. I flew into Edinburgh on Tuesday and got home less than 2 hours ago. Basically I've been collating material that I hope will become an eBook on how I shoot landscapes, along with practical advice on tools, planning and even a little local information on the photos. Obviously it'll be Scotland related, but if it works out, I'll be doing more with Connemara being next, maybe mixed with The Burren. Big plans, but a lot of work. Along with Richard Earney from Inside Lightroom, and Mark Gould, we took a camper van from Edinburgh up to Durness/Tounge and down by Loch Assynt, Eileen Donnan Castle and into Glencoe. A lot of early mornings and post sunset driving with little sleep. The weather was either too nice, or too bad, but we still made great images despite that. It was also very much a Hipstamatic trip. Not to mention the tics. Or rather, let's not mention the tics.In people photo news, I did an editorial with Lily Robben, with styling and hair by Byron Yeates, Makeup by Aisling Kelly, and Assisted by Siabh Egan. John McGrath did a BTS video too. Siabh posted BTS photos on her Facebook too. Not sure if that's private though. Love her processing on the shots. While I have a basic set picked, I'll be talking to Byron before making the final selection. I'd like to thank all involved.I'm working on a few editorial ideas for portfolio and for magazine submission, and will post as I'm done. I think that there will be changes soon here though with the blog. Random Panderings was a photoblog traditionally, but moved into a photographers blog. I've decided that I'll be creating a blog for Seanmcfoto.com that deals with my photo work, and aiming Random Panderings at photographers. Work to be done, but I think it's a necessary distinction. Thoughts?
