Highland cow photos
Highland cows are great photography subjects. Generally they
are calm and can be approached safely, however if you intend to approach cows
that you’re not familiar with especially if there are calves it’s probably best
to ask the owner if this is ok.
Highland cows can either be photographed to fit in with
their surroundings such as those in mountains or rough terrain or, close up to
get impact, head on filling the frame.
Living in the North Highland there is an abundance of highland cows, although I have never managed to get a photo of a mother and calf.
This photo of katrina won photo of the month on the Digital photographer website and was published a number of times in their magazine.

Sorry, I had to delete my first comment...too many typos..here it goes again:
ReplyDeleteThese are some very hairy beasts, Phil! Who took the pic of you taking the pic? Very cool animals. I don't think I've seen this species in the USA. They do make a good photograph, I agree with you!
Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. My wife took the photo of me with katrina the cow. The photo I had of her generated so much interest that the owner put off sending her to the market. These cows are very hardy and are able to live in the hills all winter with no problems at all.Generally fairly tame as well,very handy when you're sticking a camera and flash in their faces.
ReplyDeleteTourists love them.
Hello there,
ReplyDeleteI'm a student doing a diploma of Graphic Design. Our assignment is to create an invitation to launch a Scottish-Australian ale. I was wondering if it would be alright to use one of your beautiful images (the one that won the Digital Photographer website of the month). It would not be used commercially, only submitted to my lecturers.
I would give full credit and links to your site in my assessment and show you the finished invitation.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards,
Celine
Celine, no problem with that, if you want a copy without the copyright on it you would need to give me a contact email , I could then put a copy in my dropbox for you.
