Lorne Gill Lorne is the full-time photographer at SNH and has been involved with organising the Scottish Nature Photography Fair since it first came to Battleby in 1996. His work can be seen across much of SNH’s printed and digital media and will be particularly familiar to readers of this magazine. In order to keep his approach to photography fresh, Lorne is continually exploring new ways to capture familiar subjects, including using techniques now offered by the new generation of digital cameras. www.scottishnaturephotography.com 1 Tree sparrow, Wolfhill, Perthshire. 2 Oak woodland in springtime, North Wood, Kinclaven, Perthshire. 3 Folded rocks, Falls of Bruar, Perthshire. 1 2 3 52 The Nature of Scotland
Peter Cairns Based in the heart of the Cairngorms, Peter Cairns is an award winning nature photographer with a deep fascination for our relationship with the natural world. When the digital revolution kicked in and a tsunami of top class wildlife imagery came from seemingly nowhere, Peter knew he had to rethink his photographic career. The result was a long transition into project based photography. In his presentation, Peter talked about his involvement with the ‘Wild Wonders of Europe’ project and how that led into his work with ‘2020VISION’. www.northshots.com 1 Red-throated diver in breeding plumage, Bergslagen, Sweden. 2 Mute swan pair in winter dawn mist, Loch Insh, Scotland. 3 View along Rapadalen from Nammajs, Sarek National Park, Laponia World Heritage Site, Sweden. 1 2 3 www.snh.gov.uk 53
