Congratulations on your website John, fine piece of work!
Very much enjoyed viewing your photography!

Although I've never been to the Orkneys this website has encouraged me to perhaps start venturing north of the Cairngorms. A truly inspiring piece of work. Well done & congratulations.

Such a brilliant and diverse range of high quality images. It demonstrates a photographer who takes time to absorb the essence of the environment he is in and uses subtraction to capture the necessary elements to transport the viewer into an inviting scene.

Hi John,

Just saw some of your photography in the window at We Frame It in Kirkwall so came on to look at your site. Amazing stuff! My husband and I love taking photos here in Orkney and thought we did an alright job but with these you have really raised the bar!

Really, really like your stuff. Well done :)

Hi John, enjoying seeing all your latest superb photo offerings. The link up with Red Bubbles merchandising (something I must have missed on my last visit) gives some great ideas for gifts. Keep up the goodly work, Sir! All the best, Larry.

Hi John, recently saw your photos in shop Kirkwall shop window and think they're great! I've forwarded your web address to my family and friends so they too can enjoy.
Many thanks
David

i've looked for you online for quite some time! this definitely is you. i'm glad to see you are well...staying creative. all the best, priya (pree)

have just really enjoyed looking through these pictures. they remindme of happy childhood holidays!! Thankyou Ted

Love your scottish landscapes, very different here inCA. Keep on doing it. Josh A

Very beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing them. Marie

I just sent you an email in my role as contractor for The Mitch Waite Group regarding their whatbird website. However, I had to send a personal note just to say that I think your photos are exquisite!

My photography skills are not where yours are, but I am just as 'INTO' photography as you are. Loved it ever since my teens, probably even before then. It's a passion with me.

Currently I am stepping into the art world, trying my hand at photo abstracts. I'm at my beginning, but I agree with you, it's a lifetime pursuit of that 'perfect' image and photo ops are all around us, in every moment.

I'm going to bookmark your website and check in to see when you add new pics. If you're inclined, check out my current website (see below).

Thanks for sharing your gift!

Cheers!

Just wondered who the dodgy geezer was with the camera and fishing rod who kept sneeking into your Skye pictures...Nice snaps by the way!! Take it easy.....

Dear John,
Netty told me about your website. So I have found some idle moments to sit down and view...it must have taken you many hours to prepare the website as it is so easy for a simpleton like myself to navigate.Time to sit back and enjoy.... Pure escapism and to be honest inspiration (your wonderful pictures actually made me take my camera out one misty morning, whilst walking the dog)....Your collection is pure enjoyment and makes the viewer feel incredibly appreciative of what and who is around us...Thank you. Lots of Love Gorgin xxx

Dear John,
These are lovely.
Sending parcel tomorrow with contact detail etc.
Best Wishes,
Joan

Hi John, I came upon your very stunning website while looking for info on the Cuillin mountains of Skye. I am not a photgrapher but I will say we have been very impressed with your pictures! They make me want to get a camera!!! Will definitely be back to look again! Thankyou, Pauline and James Murphy

Hi John.

Really refreshing to view your site. Your work stands out for it's originality, keen observation and well defined visual style. Nice to see some imagination being used out there!

It's seems to me, you are striving to see and represent the natural world through a very personal (and likeable) photographic style. My wife and I are wildlife & nature photographers (with a creative bent) based in Settle in the Yorkshire Dales and apparently on a similar quest. We occasionally frequent your area (Dumfries & Galloway, I am assuming), in fact we're going up there today for a week. Would be good to meet up for a pint and a natter. Have a gander at our website, if you like - www.tonydilger.co.uk.

Cheers, Tony & Carol Dilger.

Hi J.
Sorry it took so long to have a look. Beautiful, beautiful stuff- no suprises there.
You know I will say this but they stand by themselves and apart from abstracts why do photoshoppery?!!!
Anyhow when you comin up to portray the North West?
Best D.

Terrific website! Well done. Hope it's a great success. Just needs John's background music on a CD to make them out of this world!

We're like the cow's tail - always behind! Lots of love and best wishes. B&E.

Cloudy May is the name I'm known by, but my pedigree name is Poultney Pearl and I am a Shire horse and not a Clydesdale as stated on your website! I feel insulted but I will forgive you!

I have just won first prize at Moniaive show, and if you wish you may take a photograph of me wearing my rosette. Looking forward to your touch x

Sorry Cloudy May! I have ammended your details and corrected my mistake. I'll bring you an apple next time, ok. See you soon!

This is a wonderful website. Nice to meet you at Elgol - great fun. Can't wait to see your pictures from Skye!

Rod

Hi John,
Just back from Elgol. Guess you are still there. Hope you have got/will get the shots you're after. Just a short note as we're packing for part 2 of the holiday. I'd love to see what you came up with so let me know when you post any images of Elgol or any other.

It's like the whole of the natural world has been assimilated on to your web site. I need hardly go out for a walk now, when I can just open up your panorama of photographs.

To Uncle John. Your website is good and I loved the pictures of the horse with huge nose. I also liked the whole of the astract section. I liked the pictures of L and D too. The one of Ruby on the side of the screen is very cheeky! Love from Penny

Hi John, just a wee word on this excellent website.
The layout and the ease of navigation are first class, and your images are just stupendous, absolutely cracking.
I'm so glad you contacted me through my site, and hopefully now both will go on from strength to strength.

Jimmy.

for the kind words - still swinging my camera round like a rear gunner in a bi-plane trying to get some shots like yours!

Very pleased with my order thank you, the quality of the cards is excellent. One hugely satisfied customer! Thanks also for dispatching so promptly.

Frank

The very best of luck to you. I've just had a good nosey about & it looks stunning. Keep on going!
JT

We were impressed with the quality of the cards which awaited us on our arrival home just a day or two after placing our order. Thanks so much. We've a function or two coming up and we will use them as a fine-art and quality alternative to run-of-the-mill, off-the-shelf invitation cards. Most likely be placing another order in the not too distant.
All good wishes
Jo and Larry

Just looked at your site, its superb, sure you will have success with it!

Jamester

This time you've really done it! Lost myself in there. Keep up the great work!

I love the website - very professionally done too!
Cheers, Ruth

Great website WELL DONE !! Have forwarded it around. Your new cards were in the shop at the Wildlife Centre last week, they are excellent!
Love Jane

Love that picture of the horse going through the door!!! Beautiful site x

Your website is fantastic and I've placed my first order. I love the little glimpses of Ruby on the various pages and was delighted to see my much asked for "black lab" card and would love to see even more as you must have thousands. It looks like an enormous amount of work went in to creating the website, well worth it though - very polished, professional and user friendly.
Love Sheila x

Found this site by chance and just wanted to say that I really enjoyed looking at it. Thankyou
James

An utterly outstanding and quite simply unparalleled view into our countryside and the exceptional nature within.

Ainslie

Well done man - the whole thing looks really fantastic.

R.S.

Hi John

What a stunning, colourful, beautiful website. I love it!!!!

Erin Danson

Well, I must say after reading your terrific book last year - following which I felt compelled to write up an online review - I wasn't expecting to come across your name attached to such a parallel and equal talent in the world of photography. Yet, this is exactly what I have found within the pages of your website. Fine and deserving work.
Frank G. Finley

Didnt know you were so good. well actually I did.
love Alice XX

Excellent pictures, but none of you playing guitar?
Surely an oversight!

Hoi Spal - easy with the gags now! I'm still trying to master the recorder.

Your photography is simply stunning, John Dewar! So many of your shots show a keen eye for finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. Some are highly unusual. All are special. Many reveal to me a glimpse of the indwelling spirit and unfathomable magic of our world that in rare moments may be 'seen' by us by something way beyond the eye. I'm placing an order. Thanks for making these photos available. I'm looking forward to sending some of your photo-cards to family and friends. Cheers!

Took my breath away!
Can't wait to have a really good catch up when all this silly cooking business is over!?

Lovely photos, very well presented. Enjoyed viewing them immensely. Great-looking website. Looking forward to receiving my cards order.

How about some local skill photos.
Chainsawing-Anglegrinding-Welding
Chopping-
Sparks flying like a volcano!
We could make some good shots.
Iv'e looked through the gallery-I just love the 'Coalman'.
I want to be a SUPER HERO
Captain - the engines can't take any more- they're going to blow!
Scotty, give me warp factor 10. These dammed Klingons are on our tail.

This is an amazing site. Well done!!
