A Little Bit of Pre-Raphaelite(ish) Underwater Tomfoolery
With the wonderful Charlie ... thanks for putting up with my daft ideas (again!) ...
Experimenting in the #RiverWalkham on #Dartmoor ... if you fancy volunteering for a soggy photoshoot, let me know as I need the practise 😍

Thanks ... I like to learn new things ... I expect my brain will stop working otherwise 🀣

The View From AboveπŸ’š
Yesterday I decided to give 10 minutes a day to working on things I've so far managed to not get around to doing.
One of those things was flying the drone for absolutely no real reason apart from getting in some practise ... #northlew #devon #dronephotography

🀣 to be fair, the edge of lower Swelltor Quarry is actually a lot more dangerous ... I did probably mention this to the walkers quite a lot 🀣 I also held the hand of one of the volunteers who'd already taken a bit of a tumble!

Photography Walk with The Museum of Dartmoor Life - Foggintor Quarry & Swell Tor Quarry β€” Glavind Strachan Photography Keen observers might notice this is an incomplete blog entry - I’ll no doubt scan through over the next few days and fill in the gaps … does anybody actually read this stuff? 🀣

I've been slowly updating my website - I took some of the volunteers from The Museum of #Dartmoor Life for a walk around #Foggintor Quarry and the area back in November 2024 ... please take a read and give me some feedback ... thanks πŸ’š

Absolutely no humans between here and the source (though the military do sometimes shoot stuff near there ... and the odd dead sheep 😍) I love taking a dip here on the way home from a hike πŸ’š

So, I've been making an effort to update my website over the last few weeks : glavindstrachan.com and part of that process has been digging through thousands of images

I believe Max actually does his website ... might be best if I mention BlueSky to him and see if he can cajole Paul 😍 I used to love the internet when it was young and democratic, I'm not really a fan any more 🀣

The TV channel Sky? I've no idea, possibly, he's been interviewed for lots of Dartmoor related stuff 😁
