    Jay Buchan
    Jay loves working with clients to capture their stories. Since the days of film photography, she had a passion to tell stories. This has grown into not only working as a professional photographer but also as a photography tutor.

    To her, passing on skills and knowledge to others who love photography to get the best out of themselves and their equipment is a joy. It's first and foremost about helping people improve by only competing with themselves to get better and enjoy their photography journey more. So tell her what your passion in photography is and she'll help on the way to amazing images.

    Was down practicing hand held long exposure at Aberdeen beach. There was enough 'dark' in the sky to allow about a 1/4 sec exposure, just enough to allow a bit of movement in the incoming wave

    I had just recently became a qualified CAA drone pilot and this was one of my first drone flights over water and over the Beach ballroom. This is such an iconic building in Aberdeen and like the perspective of the shot

    I thought the cathedral would offer a great opportunity to use the drone. I had just recently purchased the DJI mini 4pro so this was one of my first fly overs

    Title or Location: Aberdeen Beach
    Captured in August'24 during a peaceful family walk along the beach, this photo reveals a contrast between light and shadow as dusk falls. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the beachside road was suddenly enveloped in darkness. The sounds of the amusement park faded, and once-inviting shops and restaurants appeared deserted. Yet, the vibrant red glow of the Pizza Hut windows cast a warm light, illuminating the scene and creating a contrast against the quiet emptiness. Shot with the phone Gal

    I quite often go down to the southbreakwater for a Sunrise around 5am but had a cycle to Fittie for a better composition this time. One of the lobster boats was just on its way out making these wonderful ripples in the water....Right place at the right time etc

    Title or Location: Lanark County, Ontario
    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
