Location: Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides

Favourite photographic subjects: man-made objects, usually (but not always) in a state of decay, set against nature's finest Hebridean backdrops. Mostly shot at night, by the light of a full moon with additional colours light painted in to the scene during the exposure.

Post processing: All my night photographs are shot as RAW files. I use Adobe Camera Raw to adjust white balance and may make a few minor adjustments to levels and contrast but essentially the pictures are as shot. Like many night photographers, I'm of the opinion the real creativity should take place while the shutter is open and not after the event in Photoshop.

A big thank you to all the Flickr members who've taken the time to comment and select favourites. I try to look at the photostream of everyone who leaves a comment, chooses a favourite or adds me as a contact. If I comment or fave your work it's because I genuinely like it.
