Waiting
The Borderers are a re-enactment group that comes together at Buittle Tower-house, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This photograph was taken on Sunday last as they took a break after having prepared a meal for the high table in true 16th Century style. I hope that the charming young lady concerned will get in touch, so that I can let you know her name. A place well worth visiting. See their website at http://www.theborderers.info/index.html
Life, Photography & Other Mistakes - is now dormant 
Lovely atmospheric portrait. I’ve just ‘had a go’ at people myself and they’re not easy!
Hi again Noeline, its good to hear from you. I agree, and posing a model is the most difficult. Here I was very lucky because she was sitting in a dark interior with light streaming through a large barn door, and she turned as I was taking several shots. Fortunate also with the white against the beautiful dark browns and purple.
Hi John, it was lovely to meet you on Sunday at Buittle. As promised I popped by here to look at your blog – and after all your efforts on the day, its great to see the finished product! Is there any chance you could send me a copy of the image please? Hope to see you again at a future “Borderers” event.
Hi Tracy, its good to hear from you. I hope that you feel that I’ve done you justice. It was, as usual, a very interesting and worthwhile event to visit. The ‘Borderers’ are always a beautifully presented and friendly bunch. I’m more than happy to email you a copy of the photo.
Regards, John.
