Fieldsports photography – It can get a bit confusing for those who know me when I say I’m going on shoot now. Not knowing whether it’s a photo shoot or a picking up shoot.

Well now I do both. ‘On shoot, on shoot’ – double the fun – or double the trouble if I have my dog with me, though she’s really pretty good and steady. The thought has crossed my mind as to whether she could help carry a lens or two for me, but I don’t think my insurance would cover me for accidental damage by dog! Perhaps I should try her out with a GoPro and she can record her own footage.

I digress. This shot of one handsome boy being stroked and praised by his owner is my favourite shot of the weekend. There’s such a close relationship between man’s best friend and their owner, I really don’t need to state the obvious, but it’s never more so than with working dogs. I just love this moment of reassurance and calm during a very intense drive.

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
