I find inspiration in the wilderness: from some of the oldest rocks in the world in Assynt, Northern Scotland, to the flora and fauna that flourish where the forces of geology have caused huge disruption in rural Perthshire, to the landscape closer to home in Argyll, observing the art of the natural environment brings a restorative tranquility.

Videos made of the natural landscape
A recent departure for me has been the making of short timelapse videos of the landscape. I wrote a Python script to interpolate from a set of still photographs, applying a handful of effects (blur, gamma, masking), to a set of output images to combine as frames into a movie (e.g. using ffmpeg). The project homepage is at timelapse.py and sources available directly from github. Currently my favourite example using this script is Morning at Glen Affric.
