A Wee Run Around the Countryside

[dragonfly]

We were supposed to be going off in the caravan to Loch Tay over the Easter break leaving on Wednesday but the bad weather put paid to that so stayed home instead.

Really gutted that I wasn't going to get a tour around Perthshire but set off yesterday headed to Falls of Shin and then up the west coast to Kinlochbervie > Durness > back home. What a beautiful day it was, temps around 14c made me want to move out west.

Got loads of photos but won't bore you with all of them. Here are 3 that I have just processed, may add more depending on what they turn out like (took loads at Oldshoremore beach but sun was too bright and I can 't get them looking either over or under exposed properly!

Balnakeil Bay, Durness

cheers Upolian, wouldn;t say I was of a professional standard by any means but I get so much enjoyment from it and am learning all the time still. Due to lots of requests for my images I have started selling my photos as prints and canvasses (http://www.julie-fraser.co.uk still under construction - but hope to be working on it more today if I get time) and hope to be setting up in pet photography very soon but have to sell my caravan first to fund it!


Thay are all lovely shots Dragonfly, you know I really love your work.

Thanks Rictina, its really appreciated :)

[upolian]

Photos are better than professional's i have seen! I have had a request made to me im going to pm you with details to see what you think of it :)

[dragonfly]

[Liz]

Brilliant photos as always Dragonfly and you could never bore us with them!

Keep em coming.:D

[cuddlepop]

Have you ever thought about getting a wee exhibition going,especially as tourist season is approaching?

You've achieved great things with that camera that most of us mearly see.

Your work as usual is brilliant and like some of the others have said, better than some professionals I've seen.:D
