About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am an amateur photographer from Newcastle upon Tyne. I live with my husband, Graeme, alongside our 7 dogs, 3 cats and 2 ferrets. We are both interested in dog agility and I have recently started some gundog training. As well as our own dogs, I run a dog walking and pet care service. I am also studying canine behaviour and training, so always have a dog or two as a good photographic subject. I have completed two basic photography courses as well as a night photography course, to try to improve my existing skills, as well as develop new skills and find some new subjects for my photography. I shoot most of my photos with a Nikon D3000. I have two lenses - the 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 and the 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6. I mainly use the 55-300 lens, as it covers most bases for the type of photography I enjoy. I also have a Nissin Di622 Mark II flashgun and have recently been gifted a Manfrotto tripod.

Lovely Venue for Dog Training

Both myself and my husband train some of our dogs in agility. We train once a week at Woolsingham showground and the venue is lovely when the weather is kind to us. Last Sunday the forecast was not too good, but luckily we only had a couple of light rain showers, so I took the opportunity to take a few photos.


The mums-in-waiting are currently separated from the mums with lambs, much to their disgust.

I took this photo earlier in the year, at a rather cold and frosty training session. It shows how picturesque the area is and makes the 80 mile round trip to training so much more worthwhile.
