An E-Book - Scotland by Layby

[Davie Hudson]

This book was developed with a very basic idea, to make it accessible. I can only speak for myself but I was sick looking through landscape photography books that featured pictures that could only be achieved by experienced climbers or people with access to a helicopter and therefore I developed this book to show visitors to my homeland some of the things they could see and photograph without straying too far from their car or tour bus.... I hope I achieved that

I just remembered that I had made this e-book and wondered if anyone would like it ? it is about 48 pages of scottish highland photography... it's a work in progress

Any and all points of view are most welcome from the design to the wording to the photographs themselves.

[Davie Hudson]

good plan ... i'll email it to you when i get home

 

[Chris Dodkin]

What a cool idea - interested to see how it looks/works

 

[Davie Hudson]

as a .pdf is works pretty much the same as any pdf, however on an iPad it works like a dream and flips pages like an e-book... I had the ipad in mind when I done it

thanks Brian, I have to admit it is that view that got me into landscape photography, I had a spare day off work so thought i'd take the camera and go for a drive.... i'd been driving for a while and decided to stop for a coffee in layby 76, so i poured the coffee and looked around, directly to my left was the view you see there

Great stuff Davie, the photograph of Loch Laggan is wonderful.

Thanks Paul, I like that one...I don't know if it's weird that I like looking at my own photos

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Davie - superb work

I reckon you also have a winning calendar there, and a set of postcards to boot - could be quids-in!

 

[Davie Hudson]

thank you so much Chris, the nice comments have given something to think about

We have a range of merchandise on the horizon...
Callenders was mentioned before (by Daz T I think) ... It is under consideration...
As is selling members self printed books, the door book we planned all those months ago... All in the pipe line...
So very seriously, Davie, if you wanted to self publish this as a book with one of the online self publish websites I would happily sell it for you in our online shop ... (which will be live next week)
