Ronas Voe at Sunset

Pictured above is a sunset image I captured recently at Ronas Voe.  Loving the lighter nights, a sign that summer is not far away.

Up Helly Aa 2011 – Off With Its Head!

I hung around after the crowds had dispersed to capture the head of the galley as it eventually fell to the ground.

This is the final blog post from Up Helly Aa 2011.  I hope you have enjoyed them.  To view all my Up Helly Aa 2011 blog posts in one continuous thread click here and to view my gallery pages click here.

David Gifford has an amusing post on his blog titled ‘Press Gang’ showing me and other fellow local photographers during the day.  He also has some excellent photographs from the event himself.  To view click here.

Well done again to John Hunter and his squad for leading an excellent Up Helly Aa.

Up Helly Aa 2011 – Torch Lights

I must admit this picture was a bit of an accident, but I actually like it!  This picture was taken immediately after the torches were lit before the procession began.  I like the way it emphasises that the only visible light is from the torches as the street lights are killed to add impact to the procession.

Up Helly Aa 2011 – Torch Trail

The image above shows the route torch carriers take as they enter the burning site.  The Raven Banner is fluttering nicely at the Town Hall which I must say is a beautiful building, especially when it is illuminated.

Guizer Jarl John Hunter aka Johan Sanderrevet of Valsgärde

Guizer Jarl John Hunter stands in oven like conditions to pose for photographs after the burning of galley Jägere.

I heard John mention to a reporter earlier in the day that this was the proudest day of his life.  Throughout the day John and his Jarl Squad were a credit to the event.  The amount of work that went into the organisation of the event, not mentioning the fantastic Viking outfits, must have been immense.

Up Helly Aa 2011 – In The Ring of Fire II

The Guizer Jarl safely departs the galley and then the brass band summon all the guizers to throw in their torches.  The clatter of torches hitting the bottom of the boat is heard before the flames grow and grow – an impressive spectacle indeed.  You can see at the bottom of this photograph the line of camera LCD screens and at the top the sight of camera flashes firing as spectators capture the moment.

Interesting article today in the Scotsman about Up Helly Aa which can be viewed here.

Inverness Reflections

Pictured above is another image I shot when in Inverness for New Year.  I liked the way the street lights were reflecting off the roof of the cars.

Sunset over Lerwick

Pictured above is an image from the Knab looking towards the south end of Lerwick.  The sky was very dramatic which drew me to the shot.  I hope you enjoy.

Viking Parade – Clickimin Loch

I was out and about late last night capturing some photographs of the special Viking procession to mark the close of Shetland Hamefarin 2010.

The Clickimin Loch lights were switched off during the parade so I made this image once the famous landmark was displayed in all its glory.

If you look closely you’ll see some swans who returned to the loch after some 400 guizers took part in a torch-lit parade around Clickimin Loch.  The parade culminated in the the burning of a specially prepared galley which marked the end of Shetland Hamefarin 2010.

Photos of the parade to follow.
