One from Llangollen BDS

Right As a few magazines are running my stuff from the race I cant put any shots online just yet...

But some of the shots I got at the race are some of my favs all year...so I have to share just one...

On a dusty awkward turn near the bottom of the track, Rider is Alex Bond who got 5th on the day only 4-5 secs off Bren who won ( I have a shot of bren here too which is as good )

The shot bellow is also online at 1500 pixels wide ( good for a background ) here:

Anyway here it is, processed quite a lot, but thats just because I like it...

Also put a lighting diagram underneither so you can see how I made the image.

Leogang world cup

Frames...

This idea is a blatent rip off of the origonal concept by chasejarvis...I just want people to know I am not trying to pass this off as my idea...

But that aside I watched his Frames videos and loved the idea so much, the thought that showing and not hiding the fact not every image you take is gold, theres a lot of shit to get to the good stuff even for people who know what there doing, So I thought I would put one together.

This is all the shots from a full day of shooting from the IXS cup at inners a few weeks ago, back to back... some 5-600 images in all...

Fort William best few...

Well not quite, but a few of the better ones.

As Bren didnt have an amazing result up there i doubt any of the mags will want to run shots of him... so can put a few up here.

Let me know what you think... Few more on my flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9381585@N02/








And one of Moseley for good measure...

New camera!

Im finaly getting a nice camera...

One of my mates who shoots a lot of modeling stuff won a camera in a magazine comp, but he won a D300s and shoots canon... so said he would give it to me posted to my door for £1k, thats about 200 quid off. And as Ive not had a bad month I thought yeh why not!

Does all I need and more, has MUCH better auto focus and faster fps than the D90 ( the 2 areas I was finding it didnt quite do what I needed ) and also has a nice high quality stereo external mic input which is another thing I needed.

So Have ordered the D300s, New top spec CF and SD cards for its dual card slots, and a nice new manfroto video tripod head... battery grip and external mic next month.



Will let you know what i think of it after Wc 3.
