Combining ponies and an epic landscape is my idea of heaven. I spent a while watching this chestnut stallion from afar, he had such presence about him. He was doing an outstanding job of keeping his mares away from another group and was on guard a lot. I think his colour really made him seem at one with his surroundings.

Our phones are so advanced these days and can capture the night sky very easily. Using my Nikon was an entirely different matter! I had photographed the lights in Iceland, back in 2016, so was very out of practice. But with some perseverance, these were my best efforts.

Winter is the most incredible season for photography. The light has this ethereal quality and a frosty landscape creates the perfect canvas.

There was no getting cold on this sub zero day with Jaz the Cocker Spaniel keeping energy levels UP! I was lucky to photograph her and her tiny elderly Jack Russell sister as part of a family photoshoot.

I hope everyone that celebrates it had a lovely Christmas. πŸŽ„

Something a bit different from my usual for this wintery Wednesday, a landscape from Neist Point on the Isle of Skye.

I’ve been on steep learning curve with landscape photography after investing in a wide angle lens - it is SO much harder than portrait photography! Which remains my main passion.

I’ve always loved taking landscape shots on my other lens, and incorporating the landscape in portrait shots, but shooting wide (tonnes more photo space) means you’ve got a lot more detail in the scene and room to layer your composition. Foreground, mid range and distant. For this my focal point was the high cliff and lighthouse, which I find hard as they’re so far away! I shot 3 different exposures to capture the detail in the foreground and sky, which I blended together.

It also takes such much more patience and time to get β€˜the shot’. It may sound romantic, sunset at a lighthouse - but it was so bitterly cold, sitting on an exposed cliff waiting for the light to shift! Our dogs were shivering so my other half took them back to the car after half an hour.

After each pony’s solo wreath photos, we took them outside for some individual photos with Kelly.

Then after letting them all have a bit of a breather we finished up with some of them all together! Getting three mares to stand nicely together wasn’t easy, but we had a helper to hand thankfully & the ponies all respect Kelly so really tried their best to please. Such good ponies & a real credit to Kelly. πŸ™Œ

Last but my no means least we have the beautiful Sheeny.

This gorgeous girl was an angel to pose. If anything she got a little bored with it all and we had to put in a bit of effort to get happy non sleepy ears!

Kelly loaned Sheeny for a short while before buying her and she’s now happily retired, enjoying life with her Highland pony pals! πŸ’œ

This beautiful girl is also a Highland pony, owned by the lucky Kelly and sister (from another mister) to Kitty.

Katie was initially a bit worried about posing in the doorway and confused as to why she wasn't meant to walk out of her stable. But with some patience, persuasion and bribery from Kelly she realised staying on the threshold of the stable had its benefits!

Katie does a bit of showing and dressage. Must admit I had mane and forelock envy, just look at those luscious locks!

While I genuinely think any colour horse or pony suits black background style portrait photos, I'm very partial to a grey, especially with my pink poinsettia flowers on the wreath! And this gorgeous Highland pony mare certainly looks the part.

Her owner Kelly says she's a pocket rocket and knows her own mind, but she was an absolute angel to pose and accommodated all our requests very willingly. Such a lovely pony.

I’ve been a little quiet on here… Have needed a bit of time away after losing Dylan, my Springer. Even though he’d not been well it was an awful decision to have to make, even worse by the fact we were on holiday at the time on the Isle of Harris. But he had the most fantastic week with us on Skye before he began to deteriorate, the day after we arrived on Harris.

I’m so incredibly lucky to have shared so many wonderful years with him, he was utterly unique & so full of zest. He leaves a huge hole in our lives. He was the best muse & helped me become the patient photographer I am today - he was notoriously difficult to photograph! But I have so many incredible photos of him to cherish, so am very thankful I could capture him so often. Such a handsome boy. These were taken just this summer, I maybe biased but I think he looked incredible for 13! My handsome boy. Rest in peace beautiful. πŸ’•
