Back to the Future with the Kelpies
Hi Everyone
As a professional fine art and event photographer working around Scotland, one of my favourite destinations is the Kelpies installation in Falkirk. From my earliest days photographing infrared this was one of my go to places. This has also been the case after I was recovering from Covid and needed some therapeutic help. So it is with great pleasure that I recently returned to this location, particularly since I live a lot closer to it now. The new installations as part of the Canal Project also add to the venue. Well done to the artists involved. So why the Kelpies, well the metal installations come to life with infrared photography, there is water nearby, lots of foliage and people to give you a sense of scale. It is ideal for colour and black and white and lends itself very well to drama. I love it. Oh and if you fancy a change then drop in up the road to the Falkirk Wheel. an engineering feast, although also a kind of art form too.
So until next time.
Kind Regards

Sports Photography in East Dunbartonshire
Hi Everyone
Apologies for the delay in completing my blog, what with covid in my household and a variety of other things, it has taken a me a wee while to get organised with my blog. Its was great, after a long delay due to the pandemic, to get back to doing some serious sports photography in my new home in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, first of all with Kirkintilloch Thistle for the football and then at Allan Glens Rugby Club last weekend. I was only around for the first half of both games but that was enough to get back into things and hoping to do more soon, also happy to establish a working relationship with one of the local clubs to supply them with photos when I am free. As a professional freelance corporate and event photographer working in Scotland, particularly in Edinburgh and Glasgow, I am hoping that the corporate event photography commissions pick up again soon. I can't wait to get going again and hopefully things will start to pick up. There is also been a resurgence in wedding photography and thankfully I have a few wedding photography bookings in Scotland on the horizon. Trying out my Fuji gear for sport and enjoying working with the 100 - 400mm lens with the XT2. Thinking of getting an XT3. Also looking at extending my Canon gear to acquire a mirrorless sports lens and possibly a different Canon body suitable for sport.
So, until next time, keep snapping.
Kind Regards

New Horizons for Professional Infrared and Landscape Photographers in Scotland
Hi Everyone
Now that I have moved I have been investigating the area for photographic potential. Having moved to Kirkintilloch we have discovered some great walks and opportunities for photography throughout East Dunbartonshire. The Campsie Fells is also an area new to me and it looks like it has a lot of potential for infrared photography, particularly at this time of the year with the trees and foliage still around. There is a rich countryside with a variety of potential subjects suitable for infrared and landscape photography in Scotland. In addition, I am still in the perfect position for corporate and event photography in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Central Scotland. The conference photography commissions are a still bit quiet at the moment, due to covid, however, the PR and sport is starting to kick off now. I will also be continuing my urban photography project in Glasgow and the Clyde in particular. So plenty going on. I also intend to invest in some more lenses and possibly a new Canon body and possibly some infrared equipment.
So, until next time.
Kind Regards

Urban Photography from Glasgow
Hi Everyone
Sorry it’s been a while since my last blog post. I recently moved to Kirkintilloch and it’s been a bit chaotic recently. However, things are starting up a bit more now and I hope to be doing some professional corporate event photography throughout Scotland in Edinburgh and Glasgow. For my infrared work, I will now be focussing more on urban photography, mostly in Glasgow, although I hope to visit Loch Lomond more and of course, living in Kirkintilloch should provide me with some opportunities to photograph canals and the Kelpies, which is only 20 minutes away.
So until next time. All the best.
Kind Regards
Colin
