Faster Pussycat

Some more shots from Lydden Hill, This time we have some drifters (not drifting) and a retro rally car (Ford RS200 Group B rally car).

RS200

Those Magnificent Men on their Flying Machines

I fancied getting some action shots the other day, conveniently Lydden Hill race track had a British Rallycross event on, so I packed up my stuff, The actual rallycross itself was a bit too dusty to get decent shots but they did have a great sideshow of freestyle motocross in the intervals so I went down picked what I considered to be a good place to shoot from. As a photographer I had to get the shots in a two secondish window, it took a little bit practice to actually get the riders mid-jump rather than as they were about to line up for the landing.

To be able to shoot against a clear blue sky on an August bank holiday in  the UK is a pretty rare pleasure.

Thanks for looking,

Simon

More Plants

Some more planty pics, not a lot to say really.

Environmental Concepts

Another couple of speedpaints that I thought I would throw into the cake mix as it were, just to show I haven't been completely idle other the past few weeks :)

Some Photographic Misgivings

Well I am definitely NOT  a photographer, For me it has always been a means to an end, in as much as gathering reference material. However recently I have found myself exploring this media more and more.

So below we have some images from the past couple of weeks, starting with some moody skyscapes.

Some shots from the fencing at the London Olympics, despite the controversy and negativity surrounding the Olympics it was great to get beyond that and watch world class athletes doing what they are good at. Especially with the Men's Team Sabre which had oodles of talent and drama.

Ah some pretty meadow flowers, enough said really although I might do some paintings based off of these.

More updates soon,

Thanks for dropping by,

Simon
