I've been to Loch Lomond several times; it's one of my favourite parts of Scotland. But I'd never been in the winter, only in the spring and summer, so we took the van for a wild camping weekend, pitching up at Firkin Point. It was bitterly cold, but a windless night, so we were pretty cosy with the portable firepit and a bottle of Tennessee Fire. In the morning, I took some pictures of the lush winter colours. Gorgeous.

These photographs were taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the extraordinary Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 II.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
