The Sporting Picture FREE wallpaper download! #Fieldsports

Missing the pheasants already? This will cheer you all up! I’ve recently got a new phone and have had a fiddle as one does with its capabilities. I set a lock screen for the first time ever, this is a screen you have to swipe to unlock the phone. I used an image of some pheasant feathers I took last year and it looks rather neat. Especially if you then choose the ripple effect ……..YAWN……

So I though I would share it with all of my followers for them to use on their phones. Just save the image below to you phone, open it up in gallery and then select ‘Set As’ Home Screen if you want it as your wallpaper or Lock Screen if you want it to be your screen lock. This works for Samsung phones but I no nothing about iPhones!!

The legal bit – Please note this image is for you own personal use only and cannot be used or reproduced in any way other than on your phone screen. Thank you.

The fun bit- Download now!

#hunt pictures from the VWH now online!

A couple of weeks ago I was very lucky to get invited along to a Vale of White Horse Hunt in Wiltshire by another great Country sports photographer Kay Thompson based in Cirencester whom I was introduced to on Twitter. I was keen to get some hunt images under my belt before the end of the season and after a shout out on Twitter Kay invited me along to the rather grand Vale of White Horse Hunt who met on this particular day in a village north of Swindon. Having only ever taken a few pictures on one previous hunt I was a total novice to this sport. My attraction was the spectacle of these ladies and gentlemen on horseback parading through the British Countryside with a pack of hounds leading the way.

I was not disappointed, it was a great day, full of wonderful people, laughter and an incredible sight to photograph. Here are a few of the images from the hunt. Those that attended the hunt and wanted to see more pictures please click here. The password for the gallery the name of the village where the hunt met.

Special thanks to Kay for making this possible for me and also driving me around all day!

Kay’s images from the day can be seen by clicking here
