A Rain Free Day, Yay!

We got to do a number of shots today that we were unable to do on our previous visit to Ruskington Shire Stud including some action shots and sunset shots, as well as a combination of the two! View the full gallery here!

International Dance Day

This is just a quick blog post in celebration of International Dance Day. Therefore, I have included a few dance photographs of mine for you to enjoy.

Notre Dame de Paris Fire

After visiting Paris in May 2018, one of our must do visits was Notre Dame; in fact, we went there twice on two consecutive days. One day, we climbed the narrow, ever winding, stairway to the top. The firefighters would have had to climb these stairs with their equipment; it’s no joke, I can tell you!

Photographer’s Tale

There are photographs that require immediate attention and there are those that have to be last in the editing queue. This is usually personal holiday shots at the back end of the queue. Our trip to Paris was no different in that respect and, whilst a few select shots were edited at the time, the majority sat on the hard drive waiting for the time that never arrived.

Devastating Fire

The events of Monday, April 15, 2019 in Paris had us all gazing, in shock, just as the Parisians did, at the news footage on our TV screens. This morning, I was compelled to edit and produce the images I took involving Notre Dame de Paris. As I was editing, I couldn’t help wondering if the objects in my images still existed on Tuesday, April 16, 2019…

I’ve published a selection of images to enjoy below which will help you appreciate the devastating loss this fire has delivered to the French nation and their history.

If you would like to see more images of Notre Dame, let me know in the comments and I’ll put a full gallery together on the website or, if enough people request it, I’ll produce a mobile Web App dedicated to Notre Dame.

Our Visit To Ruskington Shires Stud.

Further to our teaser blog, here are the images from the shire horse photography shoot at the Ruskington Shires Stud. We would like to thank them for their invitation, hospitality and handling of the horses during the day.

The Rain Couldn’t Stop Us!

The weather was against us and we were confined to the central passage of the barn. The weather had thrown down the gauntlet, so, we picked it up and got our creative juices flowing!

The team on hand consisted of Jade, Karen, Brad, Beverly and myself, plus two majestic models named “Oboe” & “Bon Jovi”! This is what the team had to say about Photography Street:

“When we were contacted by Graham, we jumped at the chance to have him photograph our horses. His communication before, and after, the photo shoot was spot on throughout.

When Graham and Beverley arrived, we were at ease, immediately, in their company. Whilst we were getting the horses ready, they set up the lighting inside the barn central aisle, due to the awful weather preventing us from venturing outside. We were all indoors but, Graham got wet, standing outside taking some of the photographs of the horses in the dry!

We have booked him again to capture more images when the weather is kinder for outdoor shots and we would definitely recommend Photography Street to photograph your horses!”

Ruskington Shires Stud Photo Shoot.

We were delighted to be invited to carry out shire horse photography at the Ruskington Shires Stud on Tuesday. We were made to feel very welcome by the team of Karen, Jade and Brad who afforded us their hospitality. The shoot would not have been possible without their handling the horses and, most importantly tea making, during the shoot.

The Heavens Opened And We Were Living On A Prayer…

Normally, you hope that your subject, in this case horses, respond to having their photograph taken but, on this day, it turned out that the real challenge was the weather!

The heavens opened up and it was forecast to rain all day long, and it did! Due to prior commitments of both parties whilst considering pending weather forecasts, it was proving difficult to find a suitable day to re-schedule. So, the brave decision was made to work with the weather we had presented to us.

This meant that the entire photo shoot was indoors within the central passage of the barn which was restrictive for space. This limited us to photographing two beautiful shires with great temperaments, “Oboe” & “Bon Jovi” but, we all faced the challenge, including the horses, ‘head on’ together!

Here’s a taster shot  of “Oboe” looking extremely handsome to enjoy whilst the remainder of the shoot is being processed.

Return Visit On The Cards!

Despite the weather, we all had a fabulous day together and we felt that we made some new friends too! We will be planning a return visit on a better day, weatherwise, to extend the photo shoot outdoors!
