“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.” - George Eastman

With far reaching views and vistas, ever changing light and opportunities for varied perspectives, mountain photography can be extremely rewarding. The rewards are even richer with mountain panoramic photography.

The initial interest developed into a serious undertaking after being commissioned by the BBC in 2009 to produce panoramic images on the summits of a number of Scottish mountains. Mastering the photography was the (relatively) easy bit - stitching and rendering the results was a challenge... Several thousand photographs later, the assignment was completed and I was able to further develop my skills and interest.

Many years later, 360° panoramic photography has become mainstream, allowing you, the viewer to be immersed in the place, the action or the setting.

The mountain images below will take you on a panoramic tour to many of Scotland's mountains.
