Peter Ribbeck's photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I picked up my first DSLR in 2006 which was an 8 mega pixel Olympus E500. This was the beginning of a passion for photography which is still as strong today.
I am a self taught amateur photographer with no academic training at all. Most of my skills have been honed by trial and error, reading photography magazines and many hours down at my favourite haunt of Portencross.

I tend to be over critical and lack self confidence in my work. I am also dyslexic and colour blind.
However, when I am out on location with my camera and the light is right, I feel like the best photographer in the world.

I have had my shots commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition 2008-2009- 2010 and 2011. My photos have been exhibited at the National Theatre in London and have been published in the Sunday Times magazine.

Neal. says:

"I first came upon Peters photographs a few years ago and was impressed by the essence of Scotland he captured. Every one of his pictures is a gem, full of detail and light unseen on many professional pictures. Always a joy to look at them."

b_streier(gone for a while) says:

"Viewing Peter's photostream is like taking a journey to Scotland without ever having to leave one's house! Though i guarantee you'll want to see these places in person after taking a look through his photostream. Brilliant & inspirational work!"

"Peter sets both the technical and aesthetic bars high for himself, and never disappoints. His remarkableability to see around the corner of tijme and allow up to live in swirling moments is remarkable enouigh, but he's also a supportive ally in the quest for better photographs. Keep up the good work Peter - the moments you provide are treasured."

Alex Boyd says:

"Peter's shots are always exceptional. His landscape photography is something I aspire to, and pushes me on to try and capture moments that make for outstanding photographs. I would love to see his work in exhibition at some stage."

"Have you ever asked yourself, "Why can't I see like Peter?" It's because there is only one. Consistently exquisite images helps to descibe his work, creative in style and innovative in thought comes close to what goes on behind the camera. For some of the best that flickr offers, this contributor is among the finest."

"It is an absolute pleasure to browse these pages, the shots all are much more than photos, the content, ambiance, subject and composition all stand out as a benchmark to others."

Toni F. says:

"Peter land- and seascapes of his Scottish homeland must easily rank among the best you can find here in Flickr. Top notch material. Not only his subjects' choice is usually appealing but the framings and POVs he favours tend to enhance the dramatic and eye-catching beauty of those. Few can photograph isolated trees the way he does! I enjoy his photographs enormously. They've certainly aroused my interest to eventually visit the Scottish shoreline in a not too distant future."
