So many lovely photos but I just love the Puffins and this photo shows their grace
Ross Sutherland
All the photos for the 2019 calendar are excellent, we really are so lucky to live somewhere so beautiful. I thought that there would have been at least one photo of all the whales that have been seen all around Shetland this year in the 12 pictures for the poll, as there has been a lot of spectacular photos of a lot of different species of whales around this year.

He captures the spectacular colours of shetlands aurora which is unique. A beautiful picture which takes you away into another world….. fairyland! Mesmorizing

I’ve followed Steve Birrell’s work for some time now. In my opinion he is one best photographers Shetland has ever produced. With the ability to see the true beauty of his surroundings, he tells a simple, yet powerful narrative, conveying the raw beauty of these rugged and beautiful islands. He has that rare ability to not just take a photograph; but to take it’s viewer on a journey, capturing Shetland in all it’s rugged beauty, often using the power of natural light to convey atmosphere whilst focusing in on intimate subjects.
