Happy to help 🙌

As we celebrate Volunteers’ Week, we want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to every volunteer at Leith Rugby.

There are simply too many people to name individually, but every one of you plays a vital role in making our club what it is.

From our game day volunteers, tea prep teams, physios, photographers, coaches, and parent volunteers, to those working tirelessly behind the scenes as treasurers, secretaries, social media coordinators, social convenors, committee members, and countless others — your time, energy, and dedication keeps our club running week after week.

Much of what you do happens behind the scenes and often goes unseen, but it never goes unappreciated.

Leith Rugby is more than a club; it’s a community. That community exists because of people like you who generously give their time, skills, and passion to support players, members, families, and supporters of all ages.

Thank you for everything you do. We simply couldn’t do it without you.💙

A year ago I spent the day with good people as their wedding photographer. I came out of wedding retirement for two weddings last year, before returning to my usual, not offering / accepting them.

This was the first of the two.

Happy Anniversary folks 🙌❤️

Frogs Underground (2012).

Shot at an abandoned factory near Pumpherston, West Lothian. There were these slabs of concrete which had little gaps running between them. Out of curiosity, I decided to point my camera down through the cracks and adjusted my settings so the camera could record what I couldn’t see.

Down there were three frogs, resting next to some metal wheels. That’s the beauty of cameras, they can enable us to see things we can’t using our eyes.

A Luss Rooftop (2013).

Sometimes we think we have things lined up perfectly. Then something or someone comes along and disrupts that, but in the best way possible. Like this wee bird.

I was too busy composing the shot, trying to get some texture from the tiles and good exposure settings…essentially taking a “nice” shot. But if I’m honest, the shot didn’t mean anything yet.

Then, this wee bird flew in, as if to remind me “why am I shooting?”. Am I chasing perfection or meaning?

Some friends are like this too. Cherish them, we don’t know how long any of us have, so let’s make it count eh?

Hi folks, I have set up a brand new account with Buy Me A Coffee. These days the majority of my rugby photography is done on a voluntary basis, yet there is a real cost associated with getting to and from games and with maintaining my equipment.

Whether you play for any of the teams I have photographed over the years, you like my work or you just want to help, any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated 🙏

Scottish Photographer Ronnie McInnes. I photograph sports, especially rugby as well as places, people and things. I particularly enjoy having a narrative or exploring the creative side of photography.

Two of our three kids here, walking along a small path at Flotterstone in the Pentlands.

Shot back in 2019, it’s one of my favourites, partly because it’s my family here and partly because of the love heart-shaped puddle.

One more batch to go, but I'll likely get those all sorted by late tonight or tomorrow evening. So look out for that final batch tomorrow folks.
