In your opinion what makes a great photograph? A combination of technical proficiency, amazing light, personal vision, great composition and a slice of luck. All of these must come together, even if just for an instant, to create a truly distinctive image, so it’s not easy. Especially when you consider that amazing light is very much dependant on the weather conditions at the time of taking the shot. Creating an image is a very personal pursuit and it all starts when something catches my eye, compelling me to stop, investigate further and explore. What you see is what I saw at the exact moment of pressing the shutter with some personal vision mixed in as well of course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/da3cb154-4d35-4a92-bc2b-570855a08d9d/Hugh-Maxwell-AyrGorgeWood1.jpg Articles - In the Spotlight - Make it stand out River Ayr Reflections, Failford Gorge Woodlands, East Ayrshire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/e2305fd6-fa94-435e-8d3a-95fe9742ed43/Glengavel-Mist1.jpg Articles - In the Spotlight - Make it stand out Misty Morning at Glengavel Reservoir, Lanarkshire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/064fae48-6ed9-4ead-8571-93a557fb02ac/LynnFalls-Dalry1.jpg Articles - In the Spotlight - Lynn Falls near Dalry, North Ayrshire. What are your ambitions and hopes for the future? My ambitions are to have more success in national competitions and to receive more recognition for my work. It would be really good to have more images published online or in print and I’m also currently working on a book and a calendar for later in the year. For the future I would love to coach people on a 1-2-1 basis and give them the confidence with the camera to create beautiful photographs. My job for over twenty years was as a team coach and mentor, helping people grow in confidence and develop, so I hope to use these skills again but this time with a camera and photography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/199c4215-c642-4c3d-9cee-846697b01e8a/BluebellWoods8.jpg Articles - In the Spotlight - Sunrise at Dunure Castle, South Ayrshire.

The wind was really getting up and although the drizzle had stopped it was cold and exposed. The thought of returning home to a warm cup of tea was looming large in my mind when I noticed a slight break in the clouds. The break in the clouds was drifting towards the horizon and very quickly a faint orange tinge appeared on the edge of the clouds. Just as panic was about to set in, I decided to return to a lower section of the harbourside which allowed, only just, a view eastwards towards the town and rising sun. This was where I took the dawn image so it was up to me to make it work for the sunrise as well so the pressure was definitely on. There was no time to ponder my decision as it was all about concentrating on getting the shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/359cfe2c-0aa9-4a9d-9f37-9736d3a19951/IrvineBlog6.jpg Articles - Irvine Gold - Make it stand out Pentax 645Z with 45-85mm lens at 45mm, ISO 100, 10s at f/22, ND filters, cable release, tripod https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/73d1dd14-6143-4f1d-a92d-e217bc4e806d/IrvineBlog2.jpg Articles - Irvine Gold Some photographers believe that you no longer need to use filters in this digital age however I still do. Call me old fashioned, which I probably am to a large extent, but I much prefer getting the shot in-camera at the time rather than adding effects or filters after the fact in Photoshop. Time is precious for everyone and personally I prefer to use the time saved to be out in the fresh air with the camera or doing other important things instead of sitting in front of a computer. Filters allow your creativity to flourish and they are as important today as they have ever been in my opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/6f90c043-1e01-4d11-8843-83961af5d770/IrvineGoldBlog1.jpg Articles - Irvine Gold - ‘Irvine Gold’ https://www.hughmaxwell.co.uk/articles/dawn-light-at-greenan-castle monthly 0.5 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/2690ae43-4dcb-49cc-ba52-942cb89fc404/SQDawn-Greenan-Castle1a.jpg Articles - Dawn light at Greenan Castle - Make it stand out Pentax K-1 with 24-70mm lens at 24mm, ISO 100, 15s at f/16, cable release, tripod https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/f460ccdf-a0fd-481a-b5e2-6f8a60a35b10/SQDawn-Greenan-Castle6.jpg Articles - Dawn light at Greenan Castle The alarm went off at 2am and after a short struggle with my bed I was finally up and out the house some thirty minutes later and heading in the direction of the coast. I had checked the weather forecast so many times beforehand, and it looked favourable, hence the reason I wasn’t still fast asleep in bed like millions of other contented souls. Driving in the early morning is a great experience as the roads are usually quiet and you can make good haste. On this morning one of the roads in Doonfoot, a suburb of Ayr, was closed for some unknown reason but a quick detour soon saw me pulling into the car park at Greenan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/c0b62eac-4adf-449c-ab91-5ec367b29653/SQDawn-Greenan-Castle4.jpg Articles - Dawn light at Greenan Castle - Make it stand out Pentax K-1 with 24-70mm lens at 70mm, ISO 100, 6s at f/16, cable release, tripod https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/1c709f89-6b03-40ef-8dfe-4df9c652aaf3/SQDawn-Greenan-Castle5.jpg Articles - Dawn light at Greenan Castle - Make it stand out Pentax K-1 with 24-70mm lens at 50mm, ISO 100, 20s at f/22, 3-stop reverse ND filter, Lee little stopper, cable release, tripod https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/b6b0d5ed-e224-45a2-855c-ac0dc1f77cdf/SQDawn-Greenan-Castle7.jpg Articles - Dawn light at Greenan Castle The print has to be large as every image should be printed and displayed large. I’m talking at least A3+ size or even larger. What’s the purpose of all those mega-pixels on the camera that we’ve paid hard earned money for if we don’t use them to their full potential. In this age of digital and electric everything the print is only paper and ink but it exists physically outside this technological realm. It may be stored in a folder, pinned to the wall or hopefully framed, it doesn’t really matter, but holding a print is the end result for me. Enjoy the photographs. https://www.hughmaxwell.co.uk/articles/buttercup-meadow monthly 0.5 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/197057d3-a541-454c-bbb5-cccb3162255e/ButtercupsatSkellyhill4.jpg Articles - Buttercup Meadow Thirdly, I was very fortunate that there were no livestock in the field to disturb the flowers and as a result of this the buttercups had flourished during a prolonged spell of fine sunny weather. To my utter delight this nondescript green grassy meadow had transformed as if by slow magic into a beautiful carpet of yellow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/bcb86d7f-2b77-4a08-b137-0cf39e90d80e/ButtercupsatSkellyhill.jpg Articles - Buttercup Meadow - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.hughmaxwell.co.uk/articles/bluebell-woods monthly 0.5 2023-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/a48b6950-5f64-4bb6-b2b7-e59276320e20/CessnockBluebells3.jpg Articles - Bluebell Woods With this in mind, I had been making regular trips over a period of a couple of weeks to the Cessnock Woods on the banks of the Burn Anne Water near Galston in Ayrshire. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy a quiet walk and also one of my favourite locations to shoot Bluebells and I wanted to capture them at their peak in nice light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/2d0ec81a-636d-4954-a22f-1412e9b42908/CessnockBluebells5.jpg Articles - Bluebell Woods No filters were used in Photoshop or at a computer and I derived a great amount of satisfaction knowing I had created the images in-camera using only the filters on the lens. It was fun and the images are how I viewed the bluebell woods in my mind. Beautiful, colourful, original, creative, artistic, full of energy and new life and the photographs in my opinion have certainly captured this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/a297ba00-773c-432f-a0df-2ee5e24a5f6e/CessnockBluebells1_edited-1.jpg Articles - Bluebell Woods I enjoy looking at them and I hope others do too. The photographs encourage you to look longer, look deeper, to appreciate the colours and forms and to think much more about what you are seeing and its meaning, just as a painting or work of art would. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61693d9a9762211190dbbde6/5ebd179e-765f-49dc-940d-e5b7399ed7fd/CessnockBluebells7_edited-1.jpg Articles -
