Special Feature
Scott Marshall Photography (Scotland)
I don’t think anyone who knows me or has followed my blog will be surprised that my Special Feature for the month of February is all about Scotland.
And Scott over at Scott Marshall Photography perfectly captures the exact essence of what makes me love Scotland.
In all fairness I have to give a shout-out to my gal Gunta over at Movin’ On, for she had re-blogged this utterly spectacular rainbow shot of Scott’s, and that is how I found Scott’s blog – And I was hooked.
In Scott’s own words, he enjoys the travel aspect of photography and being outdoors.
Just check out Scott’s outdoors…
“Sandwood Bay - Speaks for itself lots of texture and colour contrast at one of the most remote of Scottish beaches – covered in wonderfully contrasting light.”
“One Day I’ll Fly Away – Is amazing because I don’t do sunrises but in late November you can catch a lazy one around 0800 AM – I wanted the shape of the sun and along came the seagull – snap and the title fell out of that.”
“Moray Firth Texture – I have included this not just because it is a very impressive sunset but because I had also managed to attach some foreground interest which I feel add’s to the shot (rather than just another wonderful sunset)”
“Sleeping – Is another image I am very proud of – another hand-held opportunity basis low-light shot which had a lot of impact despite the large areas of darkness.”
“I am known for landscape but enjoy shape and texture especially in architecture – but also look for texture in nature.”
And this next shot is just striking…
“Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder – I am rather proud of this as it was my first competition winner. It is shot hand-held lying on the floor of the Glasgow School of Modern Art – I loved the curves but decided to have more impact I needed to offset it once I looked at what I had captured I thought it looked quiet like an eye – hence the title.”
”I am an amateur who has designs on going pro – I know I’m not the finished article but feel I am progressing.”
- “Well, what have you got to say – Is my attempt at humour. I love gulls and here we have a couple of Fulmars making a right noise the one on the left appears to being scalded.”
This one is awesome and funny at the same time.
I hope you enjoyed this months Special Feature.

Very well captured images
Spectacularly captured I agree, Ravi! I am, obviously, a HUGE fan of Scott’s work!
And thanks for coming by & visiting.
Can’t think of a better photographer to feature. Scott of Scotland tempts even me to take on a flight to go there.
I’m happy to have introduced you to him.
I think everyone should visit Scotland at least once in a lifetime, Gunta! And I’ll meet you there for a good Scotch whiskey!
I need to travel more. Amazing.
Linda, don’t Scott’s photographs just make you want do a Harry Potter and jump into them! Truly amazing, I agree.
Seriously. Amazing.

What a privilege to be featured on someone else’s blog – especially when the feature has been so beautifully drawn together by Tahira’s Shenanigans. But why would you take my word for it after all I have been know to utilise all sorts of exagerated statements to increase my viewing statistcs – so please dont simply take my word pop along to Tahira’s blog and gauge for yourself. My heartfelt thanks to Tahira for the feature and hope at the very least it plants the seed towards a trip to Scotland – enjoy
100% totally my pleasure, Scott! I am hounored & it’s my privilege to be able to showcase your amazing work on my blog.
And thanks for the re-blog!
Breathtaking shots!
Right. I know, Amy! So utterly beautiful. Just when you pick a favorite Scott comes back and out does himself, doesn’t he!
Scotland a magical place … the nature, landscape, wildlife, golf .. lakes, castles, whiskey, seafood … Edinburgh, regal … Glasgow, fun. Wonderful gallery.
My sentiments EXACTLY! Magical all around and Scott does wonders showcasing the magic, doesn’t he!
Yes, they do … and so do the Irish. *smile
If this guy isn’t the finished article, there’s no hope at all for me! Fabulous, Tahira.
I forgotten the genuie people. Worked with them … wonderful too!
He is WAY too modest I agree, Jo! And glad you liked the feature, I had a great time putting it together.
Beautiful!! Thank you both, Tahira and Scott, for sharing a bit of Scotland…great Special Feature! Would love to visit this country.
I agree, Rufina. It is truly beautiful. The country & Scott’s portrayal of it
So pleased you have showcased Scott’s work… I believe his ability to capture the soul of a setting will be the essence that places him at the top of the tree within his love: Photograpy….
Carolyn, I concur! Definitely at the top of the tree!
Beautiful. I too love Scotland but haven’t been for many years.
I was there a couple of months ago, Pam. And I think it’s already time to go back
Oh, these photographs are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing
It makes me nostalgic for my own trip to Scotland before I got married. Even before the heather bloomed, the landscape was amazing. Makes me want to go back!
My pleasure, Dana! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Every time I look at these shots I too become nostalgic for the magic of Scotland.
This is sheer magic! Thank you for sharing – I will check out his blog too! Scotland is fantastic even though I had rain throughout my whole stay.
I know, I think the moody weather of Scotland only adds to the mystic, doesn’t it? Rain or shine, it truly is magic.
Fantastic photography ,, really beautiful pictures.Thank you for liking ( women Atrocious Tragedies.) all the best.jalal
