Welcome to Clydeside Images!

I have been a keen hillwalker and photographer for over thirty years, specialising in Scottish landscapes, wildlife and historical sites. My work has featured in web design, greeting cards, and numerous publications with most of my images available for purchase as digital files, the cost dependant on intended usage. 

Based in Erskine, Renfrewshire, I am particularly interested in the River Clyde and the endless photographic opportunities it presents. There is still plenty of nautical activity in the waters of the Firth of Clyde, even though the Golden Era of shipping has long-since passed and aircraft transport a comparatively small but significant portion of the world`s cargo. Islands, sea lochs and rugged peaks combine to form the wind and wave-battered, deeply indented coastline where the River Clyde opens out into the Firth and the Lowlands and Highlands meet. This landscape, constantly transformed as the seasons change, provides a spectacular backdrop to the vessels that still sail Scotland`s grandest river. 

I have always been interested in aviation and although I stay close to Glasgow International Airport, I didn`t pay much attention to the traffic passing through until fairly recently. Now I do a monthly aircraft movements page, the most recent of which, December 2019, is available to view. Other aviation related content includes visits to other airports, plus airshows and museums, whether in the UK or further afield. The shot above shows Iberia A330-302 EC-LZJ on approach for Runway 05 at Glasgow, bringing FC Barcelona to the city for a Champions League match. The Arrochar Alps are in the background.

I also have my own Blog, Clydeside Images.com, which I had been updating regularly with posts covering a diverse range of topics, from local content to other Scottish locations and beyond. Unfortunately, due to other commitments, blog entries have drastically reduced and now mostly just cover the monthly visitors to Glasgow Airport. These and future posts, whatever the subject, will be linked to this site where there will be additional information and images, all of which will be larger and at a higher-resolution which makes for better viewing and prevents duplicating work. 

Thousands of images can also be found in my Stock Photography Archive.

​Please bear in mind that all my images are subject to copyright. They are not free to use and have been embedded with a digital watermark.

Recent additions include Iceland, the D-Day sites in Normandy, The Meteora in Greece, Venice, plus Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast in Italy, Krakow, Corfu Airport, Dusseldorf Airport, Fittie, Aberdeen, Staffa, Isle of May, Exercise Joint Warrior 2019, the 2019 British Pipe Band Championships, the D-Day 75th ​Anniversary Dakota Squadron at Prestwick and RIAT Fairford 2019. Also, I`ve recently gotten round to editing the shots from the 2013 UK Monte Carlo Rally start at Glasgow Green.

Several holidays in Namibia, mainly focused on the wildlife, have resulted in a large selection of images taken around the country, from the Namib Desert in the south, to the Skeleton Coast, the Erongo Mountains, Damaraland, and the lush Caprivi Strip corridor in the extreme northeast. This section also includes detailed coverage of Etosha National Park, complete with information on the animals, accommodation options and all publicly accessible waterholes which may prove useful to anyone, particularly photographers planning to visit.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website and I hope you find something of interest. Please feel free to browse the galleries or, if you`re looking for something specific, try your luck in the search box. It will soon become apparent that this is very much a work in progress with numerous pages relating to a variety of topics still `under construction’. In addition to constantly updating this site with new content, I am gradually working to reduce the backlog, as and when time permits.
