We spent today shooting for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation at Glasgow Science Centre, when Ellen launched her new Project ReDesign. We’ll also be covering the Leeds event in a few days time. The workshop was won by a Team from Hutcheson’s Grammar in Glasgow-well done!
Friday saw us at the Magnum centre in Irvine photographing the figure skaters. Their costumes were a riot of colour and worked well with our portable studio and backdrop
We were at the Marriott Hotel in Glasgow recently photographing the Glasgow University Athletic Club annual Ball and awards ceremony. More than 500 students attended a great night.

The Graduation Ball season is upon us. Here is an image from a recent Graduation Ball in Glasgow. If you are looking for an Event Photographer to cover your Graduation Ball free of charge then do not hesitate to contact us.
Our clever web designer Horisk Ltd have implemented a system which allows us to upload events by race number, this has worked well for the Caledonian Challenge and today we will be uploading the No fuss 10 at Kirroughtree which took place at the weekend. Participants will be able to go straight to their race number and look at their event photos. It should be a lot easier to find and view photos. Any photos where the number was not identified will be placed in a misc folder. Happy viewing!!
The Caledonian Challenge is a 54mile trek to be completed in under 24 hours, through the night in the scottish highlands for charity, images from the challenge will be online in our gallery tomorrow.
The Anthony Nolan Trust were given permission to abseil from the top of the Waterloo Monument at the top of Peniel Heugh. This is a monument , built between 1817 and 1824 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo, standing on a hill top near to Harestanes Visitor Centre. Our two event photographers got fit climbing up the left handed spiral stairs, they said however it was worth the effort for the views from the top which they said was truly stunning. Next year The Anthony Nolan Trust will be arranging a zipslide from the top of the tower, if you are interested in participating then keep an eye on their website for the date to be announced.
It was our great pleasure to provide the instant on site event photography at the Wallace Monument in Stirling on Saturday night. The Anthony Nolan Trust had organised an abseil down two faces of the monument. Lindsay from Anthony Nolan Trust did a great job of organising the event and keeping the crowed entertained at the bottom whilst awaiting the brave abseilers to decend. The Glasgow Climbing Centre were tasked with providing mountaineering and safety equipment and ensuring that the participants got to the bottom safely. Our wireless set up performed faultlessly allowing us to beam images from the top of the monument over 300 feet down to our mobile sales unit. You will agree when looking at the event photos that the view from the top was stunning. We were glad that the weather was kind to us that night. To view further images please look at our gallery.
PHEW!!!! WHAT A WEEKEND…..
We spent the weekend at Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh providing Event Photography to the Scottish Open Karate Championships 2009. There was a great atmosphere and the 900 or so adults and children who attended from among other countries, Scotland, England, Ireland, Armenia and Holland had a great time. Saturday we finished around 8.30pm and Sunday around 10.30pm so it was a long day. The lighting in the hall was “interesting” to say the least (I’m sure that was not the exact word Rhoddy used!) but the D3 and D700s proved their worth being able to shoot in low light without flash. As we were unable to be situated in the hall where the action was being held we were unable to use our normal wireless set up to transmit the images and had to run cards to our sales unit in the foyer. We hope that we managed to capture all the participants but as ever we apologise if you were missed. A big thank you to Hamish Adam for inviting us to attend and we hope that you enjoyed the event and will enjoy viewing the photos of the day. We look forward to seeing you all at the next event.
