Glad you like them Trevor and thank you for the positive feedback.

I’ll be looking on your Flickr photostream soon. I’ve just come back from leading a week-long landscape photography workshop around Glen Coe and catching up with a backlog of admin. It’ll be good to see your images from St Bees as I plan to go over there myself soon.

BTW you may have noticed that the gallery for latest festival has the facility to buy prints. This was a test of new commercial gallery software on the site. It seems to work well so I plan to implement it for previous years’ festivals and other galleries, which means that, at long last, you should be able to order the prints that you asked me for some time ago.

All the best
David

Another superb set of images David. Some of the portraits are absolutely wonderful. The colours and hence photography and enhancing are also wonderful. Above all you’ve managed to show the pleasure and spirit of the event. I’ve been kicking myself ever since I realised I’d managed to miss both it and the Beverley yet again *@#!
If you have a spare moment please look at my Flickr site – I think I’ve made some real progress and found a new and accessible site over at St.Bees. I’m really taken with the place. Again somewhat thanks to you as I read and then copied your excursion to the west Lakes.

I have really enjoyed reliving the day through the photographs. I think you have captured it brilliantly. Many thanks and I look forward to the stills. Rachel’s mum x

This would do for maybe a small country wedding, but I think you are a bit underequipped here. What about the high performance silicone gel for helping lubricate the smiles of the happy couple? And how about a portable rainbow generator for the candid shots by the church gate??

Thanks Trevor.

From Wikipedia: Craic or crack is a term for fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland.[1][2] It is often used with the definite article – the craic.[1] The word has an unusual history; the form craic was borrowed into Irish from the English crack in the mid-20th century, and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English.[1] Under either spelling, the crack/craic has great cultural currency and significance in Ireland.

I knew what it was before, but I didn’t know that much!

Brilliant David.
Love the image and the title. Great ‘front-page’ for the rest of the shots. Good in b&w.
Don’t understand the craic.

Nice photo.. even if I do say so myself. However I’m sure the bow wasn’t that long when I bought it! Whats the craic with using your images for promotion etc?

Cheers
