Spring Speed

Hi Gang,
As mentioned previously the Spring Speed Festival wasn't the best for me health wise, but on the plus side the day I was there was the day they managed the most running! About 100 images from that meeting are now online. Next up for me is the Main Event at Santa Pod over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Hopefully I will managed to pace myself better than I did at Shakey and manage to last more than one day. As long as I can get trackside for the Pro Mod sessions I will consider the weekend a success!

Havoc!

One of my images has been accepted into the Canon Assignment competition (That shot of Havoc, what else?) and should you wish to, you can support me by voting for my image by going to http://ta.canon-europe.com/?pg=gallery&cc=gb&lc=en&photo_id=foto480f7db8e37ce.

Big Bang Photos

Hi folks, I did make it to Shakey County last weekend for the Springspeed festival, but unfortunately only managed about 3 hours on Saturday before I started feeling ill so not a huge number of pictures from that. They are still being processed at the moment, however the big bang photos are now available on the site.
It certainly was a Big Bang for VW Pro Racer Glynn Morgan...

Big Bang

Howdy folks, I have actually got to do some photography this weekend! With yesterday being such a glorious day I decided on a trip to Big Bang up at Santa Pod, primarily to have a play with the 40D and to support the returning Havoc team and to see my mate Derek Flynn start his top fuel career. Sadly a broken fuel pump ended Havoc's return on the first burnout and Derek never even made it to the track (see Eurodragster for the story there).

There was still plenty of action with 3 VW classes, Junior Dragster, 9.50 Bike, Outlaw Anglia, Sportsman ET, Street Eliminator and Super Mod all qualifying in the gathering dusk from 6pm - 9pm and some of the guys choseing to use the day time rwyb to test as well. I came home with just over 200 frames which hopefully will be on the site within a week. Watch this space....

Quiet Week...

Bit of a quiet week on the photography front this week unfortunately. My trusty desktop PC died last weekend after 4 years so most of my time has been spent trying to save that and then when it became clear it had had it trying to rescue as many files as possible off it.

A nice new Dell from Euro PC is on order and should be here early next week, just in time to be set up ready to process any pictures I get at Big Bang next weekend. I did toy with the idea of going up to Shakey for the test and tune this weekend but the weather forecast combined with a bit of a flair up with the ME has put paid to that and also to the thoughts of going to Donnington for the historic race series there.

Should finally get to use the 40D in anger next week as Friday I am off to the Bird of Prey centre at Shuttleworth for a half day's owl flying and then Saturday and Sunday I intend to pop up to Santa Pod for a couple of hours at Big Bang.

Cheers
