Ruby and Me at Hardwick Hall

We went to Hardwick Hall on Thursday , it's a National Trust Property set in some beautiful countryside.

This is Ruby and myself on a walk near the lakes. I had bumped the ISO setting to 400 despite it being quite bright, which meant there are a few blown out highlights on me.

Anyway it is a lovely photo of me and my whippet

Been a couple of times. Bess of Hardwick - a wealth woman way ahead of her time! I think the family also had connections with Chatsworth.
Lovely shot of the two of you.

A wonderful couple full of smiles. You have found a great setting for your photo. Beautiful.

Very nice Phil….you & Ruby look a handsome pair if I can call a lady dog handsome….pretty perhaps is a better description. Looks a lovely place to visit. It looks a lovely day…we’ve had so much rain this week…..poured down all day today.

[Judith Johnson]

A great shot of you both. Did you set the shot up yourself?

[Phil Howcroft]
