Callum D.J Banks Photography

Rèinigeadal to Urgha, was an amazing short walk i done for the first time last week (the postmans walk) just after a short 5 min descent from the start of the walk from the road you come to the remains of a small croft which back in its day would have been beautiful. Unfortunately i have "the man flu" so once this clears up i think I'll head back out and Bivvi overnight in the remains of one of the crofts in the next week or so. Fingers crossed for some clear skies.
I was also told never to build a property that wasn't near a fresh water source....these crofters made a pretty good choice.

Last night i was walking back home via the back path at Scott road in Tarbert and i have never run so fast back to my house to grab my camera and take a selfie with our Galaxy. Lift your head up once on a while you'll be amazed at what your missing.

Another trip out to Eilean Glas Lighthouse last night. 60-70mph gusts definitely made this interesting. But standing out in this weather being battered by the elements watching 20ft swells in the ocean rising and dropping definitely reminds you that your living.

Waterfall i stumbled across when walking from Màraig to Urgha yesterday.
Isle of Harris

Pathway to the Galaxy.
The skies above the isle of Scalpay last night this image was taken at around 7pm. You have got to love the Hebrides on a crisp clear night.

Thrilled to announce that i am now going to be the resident photographer for Essence of Harris. I am delighted to have been asked to join Jamie and be a part of the team. Chapter one of my new life in the Outer Hebrides is complete lets see what chapter two has in store for me.

Luskentyre beach has been voted one of the best beaches in the world i think (in the top 10) i had it all to myself the other night at 1am. A truley magical experience that a lot of people take for granted.

Yesterday I took a stroll along Luskentyre beach to clear my mind and forget all my worries and problems by having some photographic therapy. and yes I do carry a bottle of Harris gin around with me just incase I see an amazing photo opportunity and I am not short of these in the isle of Harris.

Another image i got today in my wee boat studio just outside my house Isle of Harris Distillers Ltd

So today was going to be a netflix and Duvet day but i got cabin feaver and decided to head out and shoot some images and low and behold its Harris gin 😂 there is an old boat just a few minutes walk from my house thats full of old seaweed, shells and old rope and holds quite a lot of character and i thought it would have been the perfect place for me to set up this shot. I am quite pleased with it.

I never ever get tired of the walk i take to work. When i first came to Harris years ago i knew that i was going to live here one day, and i am finally living my dream of the island life, the beauty of the landscape that surrounds me leaves me smiling from ear to ear. Ps this is a phone image looking down over Tarbert

Throwback to when i camped at Applecross bay. Witnessing this was one of the greatest moments in my photographic career to date. VisitScotland #Scotspirit Applecross Inn

Tràigh Nisabost
Even though its coming into winter here on the Isle of Harris you can still see the beautiful turquoise colour radiating through the waves as the crash apon the beaches of South Harris. Nothing better than the solitude of being the only man on the beach and for miles around listning to the sound of the waves as they roll in.

This is also another image i captured on my jaunt out to Nisabost, the contrast in colours are mind blowing.
Tràigh Nisabost, Isle of Harris.

As many of you know i recently moved to Harris, I've been here nearly 3 months now and only managed to pluck up the courage to visit this beach for the first time yesterday, i have spent many a night here in the summer months camping out under the stars, drinking wine relaxing with amazing company, sadly my other half and I are no longer together, This was our "spot". This beach holds so many secrets and amazing memories for me that i will cherish for the rest of my life, I can close my eyes and think of the good times we had at Nisabost and it will put a smile on my face in the darkest of moments. Pack a bag, go on an adventure make memories, be happy even if things dont work out.

The very new and elegant Martini glasses from the guys at Isle of Harris Distillers Ltd. Beautiful craftsmanship

My favourite image from my wander about Hushinish isle of Harris. VisitScotland

A trip down a 14 mile single track road to Hushinish on the west coast of the Isle of Harris to find some Highland cattle. Beautiful beasts.

This is an incredible start to a career in photography.

Superb photography, never seen a bad shot! Thoroughly enjoy seeing his new uploads. Also follow on Instagram! Perhaps one day I will get this good!

Over the top!! I have seen so many places that I want to visit through Callum ' s photography!

I love the Photos Callum takes. He is an unbelievably talented photographer

I have been to some of the places Callum has photographed but could never capture what he can in his photos. Usually you have to be there to really appreciate and experience the real beauty of somewhere but his photos really make you feel like you are there. He also has a real talent for making the every day into something magical. Nice work Callum!

Great pictures, lovely scenery, but some awkward posing! :-)

Excellent photography skills. Makes you want to visit these lovely places. Great work well done would highly recommend :)

Excellent photography by a genuinely nice guy. Scotland captured.

Excellent Pet Photographer as well as Dramatic Landscapes would highly recommend.

Beautiful photos very professional

Amazing photographer! Very talented. Captures images so beautifully.
