College of West Anglia Equine Centre

Today I again did some print on site photography at the College of West Anglia Equine Centre. Here are three of some of the falls that take place whenver showjumping takes place.
There were no serious injuries and it was only the riders pride that was bruised. All three got back on and rode making sure they then jumped a fence before leaving the arena.

It was a lovely sunny but cold day so lots of coffee was needed as I stood in the arena. They are a great bunch of riders always encouraged and supported by staff and helpers.

The next event I will be covering will be dressage in a few weeks time so unlikely to have these sort of spills then.

My daughter Sarah did the printing and selling for me even though I think she was feeling the worse for wear after Carleys birthday party last night so thanks to Sarah for her help and also to Marian for putting some of the images on my website so that more sales can be made.

My landrover Discovery ( well I think its mine as Sarah always seems to have a reason to "borrow" it ) had a dog guard fitted yesterday which turned into a 3 hour job to get the fixings correct. Thanks to Chris at Fenlandrover for his skill and patience.

Will post again soon

Sarah said I hadnt posted for a while

Hi

Yes I havnt posted for a while as I was reminded by my daughter this morning so thought I had better do so!! I also decided to post a picture of her above.Well its been busy both with work and commitments to some of the organisations I belong too. There has also been an addition to the family in the form of a Land Rover Discovery bought in theorey to tow my granddaughers horsebox. I say in theory as my daughter has managed to "borrow" it a lot and I know she hasnt been towing with it. She has named the Discovery "roxy" so look out for news of her adventures. I just hope she doesnt need to use the winch on the front or the snorkel for driving through deep water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I, in the meantime, have been offering my framed prints for sale at Lakenheath air base, photographing equine events mainly at the College of West Anglia Equine Centre and last evening set up my mini studio for the Mayor of Chatteris charity ball. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and many bought pictures of themselves dressed in their finery. I have also started another photography course for patients aand staff at Cavel Hospital P/boro and a junior photographic club based in March. Oh and photographed a piece of equipment for a company at 8:30am so that the images could go straight off to the printer for brochures not my best time of the day but then work is work whatever time it needs to be done.

I will endevour to post more regularly especially if Sarah reminds me lol

Sorry its been so long

Hi

Sorry its been so long since I posted last but time seems to have disapeared so fast this year. Having done a couple of joint exhibitions, an open studio event and covered some varied events including BMF Tail end which was great as was CLA Game Fair.


I have purchased equipment for "on site" printing so people can buy the mounted prints on the day so will be covering Proms and Black tie events as well as Equestrian Shows. My daughter staffed the printer and did the sales for me at our first proper event which was showjumping at Forest Edge Equestrian Centre in Norfolk. She did great so a big thanks to her.


Oh nearly forgot we have also had the launch of the charity calendar I shot and the local paper gave us the front cover and page 3 (approropraite I guess given the subject matter lol )


I promise ( yes I know I have promised before) to regularly update this blog so bear with me.

Here are a couple of the images from the calendar which are on sale now

Race For Life Cambridge

I was photographing RACE FOR LIFE in Cambridge today and seeing my daughter Sarah run in it for the first time made me so proud. Well done Sarah and the over 3,500 women and girls that took part.
