Second trip to Core4x4

One month later, and I’m back at Core, near Chichester, this time with Derek who has a 20D, 17-40 and 70-200 F4 lenses. All the photos show are my own, with the exception of the one where I’m driving. That shot was Derek’s idea, as he realised I could easily and safely get the front wheels airbourne. Interestingly, I didn’t ground the suspension arms on that run, so perhaps it’s the way forwards!

If anyone knows a fix for this, let me know.

In that last photo you can also see the camcorder mounted. The video is on youtube – it’s 10 minutes long.

Off roading in the Jimny

Many of these photos were taken by James Dick, but I have uploaded them here so that I can share them with other people.

This trip was to core 4×4 near chichester, on a pay’n'play day to try out the Jimny for the first time. I had great fun, even if I did manage to fill my footwell with mud. I now need to fit some recovery points and go out again

Pro 40 Cricket at the Rose Bowl

On the 5th August, Hampshire played Yorkshire in the Pro 40 league. It was a great game to watch and went down to the very last ball. Entering the final over, Hampshire were trailing by 9 runs.

It was also floodlit. It was really strange watching the moon rise, whilst watching a game of cricket.

Enjoy the photos.

Thinking of the Empire State

This is a photo I took with my 10D in New York from the “Top of the Rock”. I am trying to get a lot more human interest into my photos, and I think I hit the mark with this one. Let me know what you think, in particular whether you think that adding people to photos like this makes them better.

I’d appreciate the comments on flickr, it increases its ‘interestingness’ and more people will then view the photo. Thanks
