The other day I was viewing images on some new friends’ Facebook pages and ran across Sue Fulton. I think one of my first comments on her images was “OMG!”. (Eloquent eh???) I couldn’t help myself because her work is like eye candy to me. What speaks to me the most is the different intensities or colors and how they interrelate. The texture she adds is also something that really works well in her imagery. I think her work is fantastic so I asked her if she’d like to share her work on my blog and she was gracious enough to accept.
Below is a short interview and a collection of her bird art. I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do. If you feel like viewing more of her work, please click here for her Facebook link or here for her website.
1) What part of the world do you call home?
I have recently returned to Scotland, a place I left in 2000, a place where my heart has always felt quite at home, even though I was not born here. The light here is so good, when the weather allows for dry trips out wandering the magnificent landscapes.
2) How long have you been taking photos and what inspired you to start photography?
I have had an interest in photography from a very early age, watching my uncle who was a keen amateur photographer. I was given my first camera around the age of six, or shortly thereafter. The magic of capturing something, especially those fleeting moments, forever, has not left me. Much of the time I saw the camera as a memory keeper, but more and more over the years I’ve enjoyed making art with it too.
3) Can you share with us what gear you use most of the time (camera, lens, etc.)?
I currently use my trusty Nikon D300, and my favourite lens of the moment is my Nikon F4.5-5.6 300mm as I am enjoying a range of bird photography.
4) I enjoy finding out about people and what they’re like when not behind the lens. Tell us a fun fact about yourself that has nothing to do with photography, but you’d like people to know.
I usually read the last page of a novel first, if I like how it ends, I’ll read the book!
5) Please share your photography website or link to your social media.

January 7, 2016 at 1:15 am
Thank you so much. Some had dreadful backgrounds, so I tried to give them an alternative reality. I’m glad you could see what I tried to achieve 😊
January 6, 2016 at 10:34 pm
Just gorgeous!
January 7, 2016 at 1:17 am
Sue thank you so much. Sometimes I knew from the start what I hoped to achieve, other took a little more time. I’m glad that the responses so far have been positive! Thank you 😊
January 7, 2016 at 1:18 am
I love these great birds. You have captured their spirit perfectly.
January 7, 2016 at 7:21 am
I’m glad you like her Sue. 🙂
January 7, 2016 at 7:52 am
Beautiful work… but you probably know I have a thing about the hawks 😉
January 7, 2016 at 8:20 am
Sue,
Thanks again.
As you mentioned Hawks I wondered have you read H is for Hawk yet?
I’m only part of the way through, but it seems like a great book. I recently saw the author being interviewed here in tv and they had another Goshawk for her to fly. She really enjoyed.
Sues 😊
January 7, 2016 at 8:29 am
Yes, I was given the book for my birthday when it first came out…and it is a fabulous account of her relationship with the bird (and her father) and really shows the relationship between our emotions and the great birds.
January 7, 2016 at 12:17 pm
That’s great! I’ve had the book since last year, just have t finished it yet!
😊
January 7, 2016 at 12:20 pm
Well worth the read, Sue 🙂
January 7, 2016 at 6:31 pm
That sounds like a good book!
January 7, 2016 at 10:02 pm
Highly recommended 🙂
January 7, 2016 at 6:30 pm
Noooo…really??? 😉
January 7, 2016 at 10:03 pm
😀
January 7, 2016 at 1:43 am
I am so deeply envious of the opportunity Sue has to capture these stunning raptors, and she has truly done these justice. I encountered Sue on Jai’s Texture Artist FB page and was wowed by these images when she posted them there, they are still JUST as amazing
January 7, 2016 at 1:52 am
Hi there!
thank you so very much!
It has been wonderful to read all the responses so far, now, if it would just stop raining I could go out again with my camera and capture some more images to work from! Lol.
January 7, 2016 at 7:22 am
I’m so glad you saw them there! Now that you mention it….I’ve been to that site before and must’ve seen them there too!
