A busy start to the new year with a variety of jobs scattered all over northern England and Scotland. From west coast to east coast and in between too. Adrian even had time for some exploring in Northumberland in both the beautiful forest areas near the national park and on the extensive beaches nearby where there was a Razorbill in need of rescue. Having carried the lost and tired bird up to a safe and sheltered part of the beach, a little bit of local cuisine was in order...! |

This has been a frantic few months for us as we are involved in relocating our business within the UK. Adrian has also been busily globe trotting to far off locations including Singapore, India and Abu Dhabi. ATLD Ltd. will shortly be moving to Kendal in the beautiful and inspiring Lake District. This will enable us to better serve all of our clients who are currently spread around the UK. We have a strong customer base in Scotland and we fully intend to carry on providing the same high level of service to all our Scottish clients as well as hopefully finding it somewhat easier to provide the same levels of service to our clients in the North West of England.
As more information becomes available on our relocation plans we will of course keep you up to date. |

Working out in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix was an experience and a half. We went from boiling hot sunshine to cold, thunderstorms and eventually torrential rain on race day. But what a race it was, one to go down in the history books with Jenson coming all the way through from the back of the pack to finally take the lead on the last lap and win the race. Even had time for some white water rafting on the mighty St. Lawrence river which got us soaked through but was highly exciting and somewhat terrifying too! |

The NYPBoS performing 'Illumination' at the Old Fruit Market in Glasgow on Saturday night, 23rd April. Great show guys!
Thanks again to Scott at SM Lighting and his great crew and also to Campbell at Cameron Presentations and his great crew for all the technical support and equipment. Adrian designed both lighting and video content for this show as well as some other elements of the show in conjunction with Alisdair McLaren the show's producer. |

• Formula 1, Shanghai - What a great race we had in China, loads of action and the new DRS system and the KERS system seem finally to be paying off albeit somewhat contrived. Shanghai was lovely and sunny on race day too.

We are delighted to welcome back one of our past and valued clients, Meallmore Ltd. for another commercial stills shoot, this time up in Inverness where we shot a variety of interiors both day and night-time setups. All very colourful. |
|
• Pre-production is in full swing for the NYPBoS's production which is scheduled at the Old Fruit Market in April. We are delighted to be working once again with SM Lighting and Cameron Presentations who are providing technical support for this project.
|
| January 2011: |

|
• We have started a new gallery entitled 'Winter Wonderland' inspired by the incredible amount of snow that has fallen in the last week in Glasgow and across the country..! The snow creates a beautiful landscape, hiding much of what might not normally be quite so picturesque and creating a whole new magical world.....
Click the image above to see the Winter Wonderland gallery. More images to come....

| November 2010: |
• This month we have been approached by the National Piping Centre in Glasgow with a view to designing their National Youth Pipe Band show for them. This includes elements of lighting design, video design and set design which will be a great challenge. We are looking forward to working with them on this exciting project.
• Adrian has also been out in Abu Dhabi for the final and very exciting last race of the current F1 championship.
|
| October 2010: |
• Korea was a destination this month for the F1 racing. Not having been done before made it interesting and challenging for everyone and combined with the weather and brand new track, made for an interesting race.
|
• We now have on-line versions of our price guides for both commercial photography scotland based clients and for our portrait services which we can e-mail out to you upon request. This makes for a much better and easier format both for us to keep up to date and is infinitely more readable and clearer for our customers.

| September 2010: |
• Adrian was back enjoying working with his old friend and colleague Jim McNamee on the BBC Scotland Proms from the Caird Hall, Dundee.
|
| June 2010: |
• Canada and Valencia were two destinations this month. Montreal is a beautiful city sitting on the mighty St. Lawrence river. The weather is almost as variable as Scotland though !
|
| May 2010: |
• May has seen a flurry of activity on the portrait front with sessions that had been gifted as presents last year suddenly coming to fruition. Must be something in the spring air ! Adrian has also been busy on the commercial front including a stills shoot back in his old home at the BBC and has just returned from yet another week abroad working on the Formula 1 racing, this time in Turkey.
|
| January - April 2010: |
• The first four months of 2010 has seen a lot of globetrotting with jobs in Bahrain, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai. That's around 47,902 miles of air travel ! We've also been fitting in the usual assortment of jobs back in the UK. Some smaller local jobs have proven difficult to fit in and we have had to ask some clients and customers to be patient in waiting for availability. So far everyone has been very understanding for which we would like to say many thanks.
• As of 19th April Adrian is stranded in Shanghai due to the Icelandic volcano situation affecting world travel. We hope to minimise any disruption to our customers and clients but obviously the situation is well beyond our control.
• Update as of 24th April: We now have a flight booked back to the UK via Hong Kong and hope to be back in Glasgow on Sunday 25th. |
| October - December 2009: |
| • The last quarter of this year turned out to be an incredibly busy spell for us. As well as fitting in jobs from as far afield as Aberdeen, Belfast and Wolverhampton and local jobs in Glasgow, we also spent a lot of time giving our website a much needed face lift. Hopefully it has a much cleaner look now as well as presenting the relevant information more clearly and perhaps most importantly showing off our photographic work in a much better and more accessible way. We still have more work to do, particularly on the lighting design section, but hopefully we are getting there. |
| September 2009: |

Adrian used the FPS Wholehog 3 lighting desk on a live show
this month. This is the first time the desk has been used in anger and
in a live environment since he helped with the beta testing back in 2002.
The Hog 3 behaved fairly well albeit with a few problems. Overall the
desk impressed and delivered. |

| • Promotional shoot for the motion picture 'Three
And Out' for Rovinge Motion Picture Company. This involved actor Gary
Lewis who played the part of Callaghan in the film. Gary is also well
known as Billy Elliot's dad from the film of the same name. He was directed
by Martin Scorsese alongside Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron
Diaz in 'Gangs of New York', he was in 'Ae Fond Kiss', 'Carla's Song', 'My
Name Is Joe', 'Shallow Grave', and on TV - 'Prime Suspect', 'Rebus' and 'Taggart'
to name but a few. He has also received a BAFTA nomination and British Actor
of the Year nomination. This was a challenging shoot for us as we were asked
at very short notice to provide costume and props as well as do the shoot.
The costume by way of a set of pyjamas wasn't too difficult but a shotgun
was a little more challenging. Yes, a shotgun. We did however come up with
the goods and the shoot went ahead on time. This shoot was done at John
Cooper's hire studio in the West End of Glasgow. Thanks to John for accommodating
us at such short notice. |
