Shhh... if he keeps getting compliments like this he'll start charging me to attend events and take photos of Hopalong & I!

He's frantically going through over 1000 images at the moment to get them uploaded to his website, will PM you the address, but they will take a while to upload as there's so many.

Thanks punk!

Yeah I've been a little slack at getting the images up because I wasn't really there for profit or making money. I took some shots for EWW and got my press pass/entry free. Took a few shots of other people and it turns out I'm getting requests through the website and H&H to put a gallery up.

I got you guys your pictures over because I knew you would want to see them, but I just didn't know there would be a demand for them.

Just waiting on the 1star ones extracting at the moment (165 of them) then I'll upload them. Loads of 2star ones to do as well. Will be here all night by the looks of it.

I think your photos are great too!!

Will you be at (the re-scheduled) Turnberry or any other BE events??

Scotland badly needs photographers other than Peak who seems to have the monopoly!

Peak do have an almost-monopoly in Scotland (there are a few big others as well, Jim C etc.) but that's because he has been doing the rounds for a LONG time, and has built up a good relationship with the organisers as a reliable source for photos. We (my recently formed band of merry photographers) would be stupid to try and attack this market and the big events even though we have a lot to offer (multiple photographers at all diciplines of eventing etc.) as they are always going to go with Harry as someone they know and trust.

That's why we are trying to contact all of the small riding clubs for their little events that the big dogs won't cover. Keep it reasonably priced (about half the price for prints) and start building relationships. If any of you are "influential" members of any riding clubs then be sure to put in a good word for me.

<cough>PM me your details <cough>

If i'm at an event for EWW or the likes then I'll let everyone know and I'll put up a gallery, but I won't be sitting at a fence getting everyone to pass so can't guarentee I'll get everyone. If you let me know numbers etc. then I'll try my best to get some shots of you at a few different fences but can't promise anything.

Thanks for all the kind words and it's nice to know that my shots are appreciated considering I've only been doing photography for just over 3 years.
