Hi All
A busy weekend in this grand weather, ending in a brilliant day covering the European Touch Rugby Championships at Peffermill Edinburgh. In unusually hot weather all day a great day was had by all. As a an event and sports photographer in Edinburgh, it is great to get good weather, especially if you a predominantly an outdoor photographer. However, as all photographers are aware, bright sunny days are also very challenging, you need to ensure you are photographing from the correct position and angle and this can change by the hour. You also dont always having the luxury of changing your position to suit, as you may have restrictions imposed on you by the organisers, or you might need to face a certain direction to cover a specific attacking team. But overall its much better than rain. I had a great day covering the games for one of the England Touch Rugby teams, photo attached.
I also had an interior property photography photoshoot in East Lothian and some corporate event photography in Edinburgh, with a conference photography commission in the centre of Edinburgh.
This week, more sports photography at the end of the week and some conference event photography in Glasgow during the week.
Anyway, all the best, until next time.
Kind Regards

As an corporate event photographer in Edinburgh and the surrounding area, the outdoor sports and gala season is now in full swing. I was doing some newspaper photography for the Midlothian Advertiser at the weekend and had the pleasure of photographing the Newtongrange Gala day. A fantastic day was had by all and the weather held out well. I have a busy week or two ahead, with this week ending with some sports photography in Edinburgh at the European Touch Rugby Championships on Saturday. I have also been out and about with my new Fuji XT2 camera photographing landscapes in East Lothian. Landscape photography is all about luck, hard work and great light and I had it all last Wednesday night, with some stormy light and a partial sunset and a couple of surfers, one of whom I knew, Dan Waters, who was a great help in allowing me to constantly photograph him. I also managed a few infrared photographs, to add to my infrared photography in Scotland project. So it was a week of variety and to add to that variety, I am off to do some conference event photography in Edinburgh this week also.
So, its all happening, then of to Skye for a weeks holiday, where I will definitely take the opportunity to get some landscape shots.
Anyway, until next time.
Kind Regards

Hi All
A grand week of weather, starting with a corporate event commission with some enjoyable conference photography in Edinburgh and ending with some newspaper photography in East Lothian at the Haddington Festival. In between, I managed some infrared photography at Foxlake, East Lothian and the Bridges at South Queensferry, near Edinburgh. The weather was great for the Haddington Festival on saturday 3rd June, it was good to see all the costumes and everyone enjoying themselves. These events are great to photograph, there is so much variety, you get to photograph people in colourful costumes, music, dancers, runners and various other activities going on. It is particularly enjoyable when you have a strong connection to the community. The photo I have attached to this blog is from one of the musicians playing at the event, in this case Caitlyn Vanbech from Tranent, East Lothian, who also appeared on the X Factor recently. The quality of musicians I heard was pretty fantastic, well done guys.
Anyway, busy week ahead with some corporate headshot photography in Glasgow, more infrared photography in Scotland and finishing with some newspaper photography in Midlothian at the weekend, likely to be from the Gala Day season.
All the best.
Kind Regards
Colin

Hi All
As you know I specialise in corporate conference and event photography in Edinburgh and throughout Scotland, but my other passion is infrared photography in Scotland. I have been documenting infrared images wherever I go - weather permitting and it isn't just now, as I look out the window at the clouds. A reminder that you always need a certain amount of sunshine. The other things, trees and foliage in general, clouds with blue skies and water also help. Probably two out the three I have mentioned will make a good image, provided the composition is ok. Here is a quick infrared photograph taken at Linlithgow, Scotland
Until next time
Kind Regards

Hi All
http://www.colinwrightphotography.co.uk/
A busy week again, with a corporate event photography commission, Edinburgh, some infrared photography, to my infrared photography Scotland project and finally ending in some newspaper and PR photography for the Midlothian Advertiser. As a corporate event photographer, I am honest about the fact that corporate event photography, particularly conferences is my specialist area and I love doing it. However, I do have a soft spot for fine art infrared photography and I also enjoy sports photography. This week in glorious sunshine I have been involved in motorsports photography in Fife, football in Bonnyrigg and cricket in Penicuik. I am getting used to the cricket photography now and starting to enjoy it, especially when you have time. It presents photographers with totally different challenges than other sports photography commissions and it can be difficult without a long lens, as you are a fair distance from the action. The constant changing positions of the batsman can also present challenges, as it can take a bit of time changing your location as a photographer, however I enjoy it, particularly when the weather is as nice as it was at the weekend.
Finally, this week, I just purchased a Fuji XT2 camera and I am looking forward to throwing myself into the mirrorless camera revolution, following on from my scrapyard photography project using the Fuji XPro 1. Lots more to look forward this week, with some conference photography in Edinburgh and landscape photography throughout Scotland.
Anyway, until next time.
Kind Regards
Colin
