Hi All

 

A quick blog today just to say I had the pleasure of working with the guys at the Classic Car event at Scone Palace Perthshire press launch for their event on 21st and 22nd April 2018.  As a professional event corporate photographer in Edinburgh and beyond attending events around Scotland, it is always a pleasure to photograph these fantastic classic cars and also to get the opportunity to add to my infrared in Scotland Project.  What's more a peacock opened up and displayed all its colours for me.  Great day and Looking forward to April.

 

All the best.

 

Kind Regards

 

Colin

Landscape Infrared and Newspaper and PR Photography in Scotland

February 03, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone

 

Another good week, out photographing some more infrared in the hills, as part of my infrared in Scotland project.  I went to Flotterstone in Midlothian in the hope of catching some snow on the hills, but most of it was gone by then.  This begs the question, how exactly does snow react to infrared photography, or the other way round, if you know what I mean, because infrared photos, especially black and white create the effect of snow when it is not snowing, the answer is that you can still tell when its snowing and you tend to get a more glowing effect when there is snow.  Its still good to try and get some trees which aren't covered in snow, as you will need the sun reflecting on the green to create the dramatic effect.  There are a number of images on my website at www.colinwrightphotography.co.uk which demonstrate the infrared effect in snow, including my Highland Cow photo which is for sale at 15% discount if you click on the front page of my website above.  However, just to confuse things I will leave you with a photo that wasn't taken in the snow from Flotterstone, taken on friday.  Other things on this week, include a PR press launch photography for the vintage car photo I took earlier on in the year at Scone Palace in Perthshire and corporate headshot photography in Edinburgh.

 

Anyway, until next time 

 

Kind Regards

Sports Photography Scotland Dunbar v Tayport

January 28, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

Hi All

 

Just a quick blog.  Although I am mainly a corporate event photographer working around Edinburgh and Scotland, I also do a fair amount of sport for newspapers in the Lothian area, anyway sport is an event.  You will also know that I specialise in infrared and HDR photography and whilst the sensible person would tell you that they don't go with sport, I beg to differ and think anything is possible, especially now, with billions of photos floating about the web.  The need to be different is even more important.  So I have worked a little on the attached photo, just to give it a bit more zing and to get it noticed.

Anyway, just of to a corporate photoshoot in Glasgow later on in the week, with some newspaper photography in Edinburgh and possibly the opportunity to add to my infrared photography in Scotland project.

 

Anyway, until next time.

Kind Regards

Infrared Photography Scotland and Conference Photographer in Edinburgh

January 27, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

Hi All

www.colinwrightphotography.co.uk

The Year is up and running now, I had a conference photography assignment in Edinburgh this week and at the end of the week I took some infrared photos in and around Edinburgh, some sports photography at Dunbar at the weekend.

So a quick reminder, as to the some important aspects of Infrared photography 

You need sunlight

Preferably some clouds and if possible trees

Metalic surfaces work well in infrared, to produce punchy contrast images, releasing light that the naked eye cannot see

Be careful with the focussing, sometimes manual is better

Shoot at midday where possible, it's the exact opposite of normal landscape photography when you shoot in low light away from intense sunlight

There is no pattern as to which lens works better, sometimes the cheapest lenses work better in infrared, it just depends on how your camera has been converted

Experiment with software, not just Photoshop, but don't overdo it.  I won't spend more than 5 minutes or so on any photo

Anyway, that's all for now

Until next time

Kind Regards

Colin
