British Superbikes Final Round - Brands Hatch 2011 - Tommy Hill is Champion

As a lot of you already know, i am and always have been a bit of a bike nut!! ;) Yesterday was the Final round of the 2011 British Superbike Series at Brands Hatch. I have been lucky enough this year to have a full media pass, so have been trackside, pit lane, on the grid and anywhere else i could poke my head in to get a shot and photograph this amazing race series! Its one thing loving Bikes, but when you also love photography, then this is just the dream gig!! Rubbing shoulders with my heroes has been the most awesome experience... and one that i hope will continue for many years to come!

Massive congratulations to Tommy Hill for a 110% deserved 2nd race win and overall championship. Poor old Hopper fought like an absolute demon and there was half a wheel length in it at the end to decide the champ! Both absolute Gods on two wheels!

Enjoy!!

British Superbikes Kicks off at Brands Hatch - Round 1, and a SCORCHER!

The good people at the Mirror.co.uk have kindly enlisted me again this year to attend the British Superbike rounds and snap the action and the events as their roving Snapper! The opening round proved to be an absolute cracker! Weather in the 80's, the course record going to Mr Shaky Byrne and only 10th's of seconds separating the top of the field!! Check out my images here or on the mirror site ... and do stop me if you are attending one of the rounds and see me.... We will be selecting people from each round to be entered into the 'Wall of Fame' so be original and get your mug in the Mirror!!  Hope to snap you soon!! :-) don't forget to join our Facebook fanpage also and tag yourself[gallery columns="6" orderby="ID"]

Anyone for Tennis?

I was recently instructed to go down to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club by my old friends at Ltd Limited to assist in the making of a new permanent memorial to long serving (excuse the pun) Tennis legend; Mr Fred Perry. Ltd had been taken on to produce a new outdoor display that would provide a more visually interesting back drop for the existing bronze statue of Fred. Armed with a my Hassleblad and digital back, off i went to shoot some detailed headshots of the statue, that would then be printed up by Ltd and transformed into a beautiful, translucent effect glass panel ...

I think you will agree, the overall effect is stunning! :)
