Supercars and Weddings all in a Days Work for a Professional Photographer
Hi All
Just finished some Supercar photography at East Fortune, a great day with cold but pretty good weather. As a professional photographer in and around Edinburgh, the outdoor days are drawing to a close and I have some conferences and internal photography commissions to look forward too. Still doing some infrared photography, although this is a bit limited at the moment with the light failing but there are always opportunities for infrared photography in Scotland and the UK, even when the trees fall.
I thought I would introduce a Tips for the Day for conference and event photography, starting today. Here are the first 3.
1. Preparation, is almost as important as the photoshoot, charge batteries, prepare all your gear, two of everything, sort out your travel arrangements and here is the best bit of advice - imagine the scenarios where things can go wrong and what action will you take. ie car breaks down etc.
2. Get to know the venue, for lighting, vantage points for shooting, where you can leave your gear.
3. Plan out in advance the shots you will take and the timing ie which lens will you use and when. Think about these decisions in advance.
That's all for now, more in a week or two.
Until next time. All the best

Wedding Photographer Scotland and Beyond
Hi All
Another busy week, with a good bit of variety to photograph, including some interior photography in Innerwick, near Dunbar, East Lothian, some preparation for a wedding photography assignment in East Lothian and more infrared photography in Scotland, with my Nikon D800. The great thing about the Nikon, will be the ability to produce high resolution images which will be ideal for my next infrared photography exhibition and will also produce large bespoke fine art framed photography for businesses and hotels etc. As a professional photographer in Scotland I am always on the lookout for photographic and business opportunities and capturing the fine art infrared market is one of my main long term aims. This week I was able to fully utilise the environment, particularly midweek, where the location, in the forest near Foxlake at Dunbar, combined with the strong sunlight, along with blue sky and cloud, proving to be ideal to infrared photography. In the forthcoming week, I also plan, weather permitted, to take some infrared shots at the two weddings I will photograph in the coming weeks and I will start the photographic month of October with a conference photography commission in Glasgow, looking forward to it. This week will see me photographing infrared, PR and newspaper photography and the Supercars at East Fortune at the weekend.
Anyway, until next time.
Kind Regards
Colin
Construction Site, Infrared and Motor Sport Photography
Hi All
Another one of these brilliantly varied weeks as
a professional photographer in Scotland, with a photographic
commission shooting at the St James development construction
site in Edinburgh, very interesting and one of these subjects that most photographers
love to shoot, lots of creative opportunities and I get to
look like Bob the Builder. Later on in the week more infrared
photography, with my new Scottish infrared site at www. edinburghphotographer.com looking good.
Finally, some motor sport photography at the weekend.
Later on next week, some event and conference photography and wedding photography in Edinburgh.
Phew, it’s all go.
Until next time
Kind Regards
Colin
