Nick Up North…

Last week saw me presenting to  three camera clubs in Scotland; Dunfermline, Edinburgh and Kelso. I love showing clubs and societies what I do – it’s not about showing off, but rather about sharing. I was very well looked after by all three clubs and they seemed to enjoy what they were shown! It also helps raise my profile a bit and maybe attract more clients for my photo workshops at the same time.

On the way home I stopped over on the Northumberland Coast, a superb AONB with SO many opportunities. The weather was first class too – cold but dry and bright!

All in all a busy but massively enjoyable week. The car is now 1300 miles worse off and absolutely filthy!

On the offchance…

of some fairly favourable weather today I took off to Cardiff Bay and the nature reserve of Cosmestion Lakes, an old quarry beautifully converted to a country park, in Penarth. The blackest of skies and horrifically heavy hail did yield for short periods, giving some lovely moody winter light.

I did manage to get a few robin shots before it all kicked off again. One is attached.
