A few beach shots of Trooper

The beach is a wonderful place for doggy pictures as they're so happy on the sand.

Trooper's not really one for the sea unless it's very hot weather but he loves to hide his ball in the dunes.

These shots were all taken in the last few months on our daily walks around the Northumberland coast.

New larger images for the blog!

I hope you like these images which, after a morning staring at the computer, are in a new enlarged format!

Trooper's own blog

The one-eyed-hound himself is featured heavily in my new blog.

Northumberland360.com is a photographic diary where the images tell the story of the Northumberland landscapes that me and Trooper walk through everyday.

We're a lucky pair to be out and about for a couple of hours everyday. Neither of us minds the bad weather which is just as well on some days.

Some dogs are great to photograph in the studio but sometimes it's best to capture them in the great outdoors: Some dogs just belong there.

Here's a few from this morning when we were sheltering from the North wind in the dunes together...

Northumberland Dogs

Benjie and Kookie joined me in the studio for my first one-eyed-hound session in my new Northumberland studio.

These 2 were a pleasure to photograph. They soon settled into the studio and started posing for me. Thanks to Anne for bringing them along.

Angus

This big guy wasn't for lying down and posing - so fit and healthy and so much energy it was a challenging but hugely enjoyable session. Sharyn and Normans' wedding is in a couple of weeks and will be a more relaxing photographic experience - variety is the spice of life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Samson & Rowley

More winners from the GAL dog show.

Wonderful dogs, so full of character. Rowley a big gentle grey greyhound and Samson a lively old boy.

Always a pleasure to photograph hounds...have I mentioned they're my favourite???

Thanks to Jennifer for bringing the boys through today.

Bella the Lurcher

Bella won the Best Juvenile at the GAL show and what a beauty she is.

Full of life and fun, big pups like Bella are a challenge to photograph as they don't sit still for long but with a bit of patience I can get some great shots.

Bella wasn't shy of displaying her fantastic personality.

Thanks to Linda for bringing Bella along to the studio.
