New Horizons

Hi , to all my blogging buddies. I have news for you all, i have just started a wee photo website business, selling some of my work. It will be up and running hopefully next week. I have the link set up on my blog, but not yet live just putting finishing touches to it. If your a blogging buddie of mine and want to buy something you will get a great discount. The site i set up myself, but all the pricings i have,  were advised to me by professional photographers. I am only hoping people will like my work, and make a wee bit of money to buy some new photo gear. Thank you guys for all your comments you have left in the past, you are the ones who convinced me to do this. I will still be blogging. Cheers the noo.

Regal Reliant



This car is a three wheeled Reliant car, it is forty years old, and has not one piece of rust. Due to it being made from fibre glass. The owner of the car was a nice chap from Scotland, who very kindly let me photograph his pride and joy. Oh and by the way the car colour was black, gloss black.
