Landscape photographers who have influenced my work

www.mountainlight.com The web site of Galen Rowell, the biggest influence on my photography since reading his book 'Mountainlight' in a mountain shop in North Wales one wet and windy day.

www.colinprior.co.uk After Galen, Colin's work is the one I follow most closely. Colin's vision of the natural world is an inspiration to all those who love mountains and wild places.

www.joecornish.com A large format photographer who's mantra 'Develop an infallible technique, then put yourself at the mercy of inspiration' lives with me. He is never happier than being outdoors exploring 'The theatre of light'

www.davidwardphoto.co.uk Another large format photographer. Also a fine writer who's book 'The landscape within' is very thought provoking.

www.davidnoton.com A fine stock photographer who's despatches and photo essays always bring a smile to my face.

www.craigmcmaster.com Specialises doing Scottish landscapes in black and white.

www.anseladams.com One of the all time greats. Visiting his exhibition 'Ansel Adams at 100'  in San Francisco was an added bonus of my trip to America.
