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.

A Rather Wet Walk

As we had a shortbreak from the rain this morning, I enjoyed two walks with my 6 dogs. I took the opportunity to take my camera out on my first walk with Milo and Sweep, as they tend to be a bit neglected in the photo department, so thought I would dedicate some time to capturing the pair of them. We may not have had any rain, but the field was flooded, so ended up with two soggy dogs.


Milo doing his greyhound impression. He is believed to be a staffie x whippet x labrador, but that is just an educated guess as he came to us at around 10 months of age as a stray, so we do not know who his parents were.


Milo racing through the puddles to get to his precious ball.

Wink, wink!

The old man himself. Sweep is the old grump of our group and is affectionately known as Uncle Sweep as he keeps all of the younger dogs in check and stops any rough play.
