In pictures: Spring Fling photographers
- Published
This year the Spring Fling open studios event which takes place across Dumfries and Galloway in May features the work of a number of photographers.
Laura Hudson Mackay, who lives in a 16th century tower house near New Abbey, regularly treks through Europe, North Africa and the Sahara in search of the otherworldly.
Laurie Campbell - a special guest from Northern Ireland - has a "remarkable ability to peer deep into the lives and emotions of birds and animals".
Michal Sur uses infra red photography to "let us witness scenes not normally visible to the human eye".
Eric Pye takes a "different approach, using colour and shadow to reveal the unexpected and taking us into the world of geology".
Leeming + Paterson's Daylight Project gives a "startling and surreal close-up fish's eye view of bubbles in a stream".
Phil McMenemy is noted for his use of colour which is all the more remarkable as he is colour blind.
Kim Ayres is described as "a master of the unreal".
Vet turned photographer Roger Lever has a knack of showing how startlingly different other creatures are from us.
Barry Young takes us back to the "lost and almost forgotten world of our own past".
