Introducing Gregor McGregor

I'd like to introduce Gregor McGregor, farmer, photographic model and all round nice guy :)

Gregor McGregor

Just a bit of fun and Gregor is small enough to stow away in my camera bag as he is only 3 3/4 inches tall.

 

Flowers for the Mrs

Gregor now has his very own Album on Flickr called The Adventures of Gregor McGregor where I will be able to keep a record of all of Gregors wee adventures, so he better start having some. If you're as daft as me pop over to his album and see what he got up to today lol

I used to have a wee buddy called Morag, but when I moved house she decided to stay in Fife and moved into my grand daughter Ellies dolls house. I've heard runours that she now has a fireman living with her, hopefully I'll meet him when I next visit. I will of course be taking Gregor with me so he can meet other little people, he might end up staying with them in the dolls house and partying all night. Who knows what goes on with these little people when we're not looking lol

Oh well if my family read this they will think I'm starting to lose the plot talking about little people lol, but Gregor will help me with my photography and I can't help it if I have an overactive imagination.

You can with a Canon!

While at college studying HNC/HND Visual Communications I completed a couple of units in photography, but over the last year I have become lazy and have just been using Auto Mode/Portrait Mode/Landscape Mode etc. So to refresh in my mind what I have already learned and to learn more I have signed up to do an Advanced Diploma in Photography with the Institute of Photography. I must add that anyone who knows me, knows I'm not frivolous with money, so I waited till there was special offer and the course was half price.  Now after parting with money I intend to learn as much as I can and hopefully become a better photographer.

The first practical assignment was to practise using Manual Mode, so off I went today to practise.

I took loads of photos today but these are my favourites.

Peeweeps Field

Fern Fronds

Policy Road

Strawberries

Fence Post Crazy

I also discovered today I have a 'thing' for fence posts, going by the amount of photos I've taken of different ones over the last few days lol Is this a side effect of living in the countryside?

Time now to settle down with my strawberries and a wee glass of chardonnay and await feedback from a tutor :)
