HORSE AND CARRAIGE BLACKPOOL


When i am taking pictures of this nature I like to show movement and effect as is shown in this horse and carriage speeding along Blackpool prom.I then converted the whole scene into a kind of abstract art form.Picture was captured by panning at slow shutter speed.www.scotphoto.com

UFOs are back in the News again.Sept 09


I love being creative and when taking pictures I try to visualize possible developments from the original image which in this case was water droplets on a glass table after rain. The shapes of the droplets brought to mind UFOs which is my title for this shot.

BEN LORA WALK 27TH AUG 09


The walk up Ben Lora starts in Benderloch village and because it was damp and drizzly I thought I might try and look out some nature shots or textures within the wooded slopes.I did take this shot of Fungus growing around a fallen pine. Even though the lighting was poor I took this without using flash.

GLEN ORCHY TRIP AUGUST 09


Dennis decided to visit Glen Orchy especially after all the rain up here,and sure the waterfalls were in full flow.Took this shot on a Nikon D3X with a 70-300mm Nikon lens.Glen Orchy has many waterfalls and connects Dalmally to Bridge of Orchy.www.scotphoto.com

MORE NATURAL TEXTURES AUG 09


Dennis was out again searching for close ups and natural texture for a client.Also for his stock photo library and website at http://www.scotphoto.com/. Here is a symetrical rock formation formed in folded phylytes which are upended.I have collected rocks and fossils for years and my original collection was bought by Dundee University.

BARCALDINE HOUSE HOTEL 25TH AUG 09


Head-Chef Craig Fergusson at Barcaldine house hotel presented this dish to the photographer which was Fansearer Pidgeon polenta with wilted lamb lettuce.We really do enjoy food photography which is demanding and challenging working in hot busy kitchens.Its critical that the food is captured before it dries up or wilts,each dish requiring a different camera angle.

BARCALDINE HOUSE HOTEL 25TH AUG 09
