Dogs in the fog……

This afternoon I had a quick photo shoot.  Photographing animals can be like photographing children – unpredictable and you have to be quick!  When we arrived at our location – the Scottish fog was thick and plenty, very atmospheric, although not ideal as my client wanted lovely images of her two dogs Bella and Griff.  Thankfully I managed to get some lovely shots of them in the woods where the trees soaked up some of the harl, this shot though is my favourite as it sums up the afternoon.

Location – Beecraigs Country Park – Scotland

One Man and His Dog

I am so loving Spring evenings, the light here is beautiful and makes such a welcoming break from the grey skies we have had over winter.

Grandtully in Scotland is a special place, it is peaceful yet the water is wild.  Here David sits on a rock with Alfie, his wing man, watching the boys taming the water in their slalom boats.

Footprints….

I love the symmetry of these footprints, were they made deliberate or organic?

Beach Finds in Monochrome…..

Spending time with great friends…… a coastal walk, collecting shells and feasting on figs, mango, flapjack and sandwiches whilst soaking up the rays on a sand dune.  Another perfect way to way to pass the time.

We each made a collage of shells, a snippet of simple creativity.

Local Life #2 – Blue on Blue

Rachael and I spent the afternoon taking images for her forthcoming exhibition to be shown in Glasgow in a few weeks time – which will be amazing!  I will keep you posted!  Afterwards we took a cheeky shot or two of the very clever and talented young lady herself.  I love the blue of the window, perfectly matching her skinnies and Harry Potter tattoo.
