~The Highlander~'s photostream
|
I am a born again Christian first and foremost. I love Nature, and especially mountains. Being a descendant of Scottish Highlanders, I am at home and in peace in the mountains, most notably my home range the Great Smoky Mtns. in my native Tennessee. I am also a transcendentalist, and I believe Mother Earth is a living being. John Muir, and his writings have had a huge impact on the way I see, experience, and photograph Nature. I am also a disciple of sorts of Ansel Adams. My gear consists of a Nikon D7000, Nikon D80 DSLRS, Nikkor 70-210mm, 18-70mm lenses, SIGMA 80-400mm VR lens, a carbon fiber tripod, remotes for time exposures, many filters, and high speed, large capacity memory cards. I like to shoot RAW. I've been composing images for over thirty years, most of which were done using Kodachrome 64 slide film. For the past four years I've done everything with the D80. Thanks for your visits and comments, but I am most interested in knowing exactly what you think when you see one of my images. Your constructive criticism is always welcomed, so please feel free to speak your mind. Thanks again, and God bless : )

"I have known Patrick now for well over a year, and although we have never met in person, I feel like I really know him as a friend & photographer by the work he so graciously shares for all to enjoy. His love of the outdoors & strong belief in a higher power shine through in each & every one of his images. Thank you so much for being who you are and for allowing others to live through your work vicariously :-)"

"Patrick ... he is one of a kind. A multi-talented man with so much to give to the world in terms of the senses. He is a wonderful photographer who never posts anything but top quality photos but beyond that he is talented in the other arts as well. I''m proud to call Patrick not just a contact but a Friend and I know you will be too as you follow him and his work."

Englishpointers (Limited Flickr time) says:
"I have known Patrick for nearly a year after seeing some of his photos taken at Yellowstone NP. He is a talented photographer and with the majority of his photos taken whilst hiking in the mountains we get to see images from a different perspective (not the usual tourist view).
By shooting in RAW we then get to see his processing skills and I expect many of his images do not make it onto flickr which is a shame.
He always has time to comment on your photos and with his Scottish blood likes nothing more then a classic Scottish view along with the history of the image.
I look forward to seeing many more fantastic images and his continuing friendship."30th September, 2010
