Camera Update

The camera I sent flying is sick, over £350 sick!! The lens is the bulk of that. I didn't think it could be repaired myself, but apparently with a new barrel and a few gubbings inside it'll be as right as rain. I should get the camera back towards midweek, but the lens will take longer.

I'm taking one of my other ones out in the morning, but I'll be sure to watch where I'm walking!!.

Here's a couple of images that I've taken on a couple of my walks.

As always, any comments welcome!

Enjoy!!

It's all in a days work!!

It's been a funny sort of year up to now. It's either been quiet and peaceful, or the heavens have opened and dropped the world and his dog on our shoulders!!
This weekend our weddings really start in ernest. We've done a few up to now, but they come thick and fast now. We've had a few changes so it'll be strange to start off with, but when that camera starts clicking away and that "buzz" takes hold we'll be on our merry way! I'll be bringing updates more regularly now, especially as I have someone to keep up to date with all the blogs and sites that I service.

Recently I've been doing a lot of walking. Apart from the fitness aspect, it helps me think. But what I like the most is the beauty of my morning walk. It's quiet and unspoilt before the rest of the town wakens. I'm fortunate to live in a beautiful part of England, where I can at least relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Here's an image from one of my morning walks.

What a week!!

It's been a busy week!! I shot a beautiful couple for their engagement, their wedding being next year in Aberdeen. I've also shot 6 cherubs sessions, 1st and 2nd sittings, and had a couple of viewings. Yesterday I took a booking for next week for a portrait session,they're travelling down from Morcombe!!
Finally today, I shot some wedding cakes for Hockleys , probably the best supplier of wedding cakes in the country. If you've never had a taste of a Hockleys cake you're missing something!!.
During all this I managed to get out early one morning to catch the sun rising over the treetops towards the Cherry Orchard Garden. For all the bad news and events in the world we hear about on a daily basis, you just can't beat a morning like these. The air was freash, there was no traffic noise, just the cows having a little chew on the grass. It was just a beautiful morning, and a reminder of just how beautiful our country is.
It'll be back to the grind tomorrow!!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

I never saw a wild thing feeling sorry for itself.
A small bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
