As mentioned in my last post, i decided to rent a 45mm Canon Tilt Shift for the London Freeze event. The lens has the ability to tilt and shift the focal plane throwing both the background and foreground out of focus. By doing this it has the ability to destroy the sense of scale in [...]
I woke up this morning with an email from FreeStyle Ski magazine showing me a draft of the latest issue. Seeing a whole section of your images is a great way to start the week and it has a special surreal twist as i actually spent the whole of today sightseeing around London with Japanese [...]
It all seemed a bit surreal this morning flying over the Swiss Alps at sunrise. Looking down at the beautiful snow covered mountains it seemed strange to be heading to London…..for snowboarding. So here i am, after another night on a bench in Zurich i’ve made it to London. Freeze time!
I just stumbled across the final edit from the One Hit Wonder event that i was at whilst in Australia last month. It was such a cool event to be involved with and you can see how the chilled vibe attracted some insane action. The double front flip with superman in the middle gets me [...]
If you checked out the post a few weeks ago you’ll remember seeing the house i stayed at whilst in Jindabyne, Australia. Whilst i was there i made the regular trip outside to take a photo, opening and closing the patio doors roughly 270 times to capture the landscape at that moment.
I’ve not found myself [...]
I’m getting back to work after a nice little holiday with a couple of great friends In Istanbul over the last week. Sitting back down to the computer today i’ve been having a little play around with the new Lightroom 3 Beta which was released last week. If you haven’t used Lightroom before or are [...]
I’ve been a little tied up of late as i’ve been training for the Istanbul Marathon which is being held this weekend. Months of training has come to an end and with practice half marathons being completed in Sydney and last week in London, i’m now ready to go, well as ready as i can [...]
My time in Australia is coming to an end this week and i can start to reflect on my super productive trip. I’ve managed to spend 6 weeks here without a single night in a hotel instead staying with friends and their hospitable families.
Now, when i think of accommodation i’ve stayed in over the last [...]
Ever tried a Cab spin? Cab 1, Cab 5, Cab 7??? The original Cab spins come from skating but snowboarders too use this terminology whilst spinning switch frontside.
If you get lost in the above sentence then its time to start reading up on some skate tricks but for the rest of you you’ll all know [...]
Which ever way you look at this jump you’ll agree its massive. Thredbo resort has built this monster end of season kicker for a select few to enjoy in this spring month. I’m here for the week for the One Hit Wonder where a group of skiers and snowboarders compete to get a trick locked down [...]
I’ve just spent the weekend around Cronulla Beach in the Sydney suburbs for the finals of the Red Bull junior surf masters. After 2 weeks of relatively no swell it was good to see that at least a little swell had developed for the competition. Brett Burcher was the eventual winner from todays finals and [...]
I don’t often manage to wake up for sunrise, i didn’t even manage it last weekend when i was camping on a beach with only the unzipping of a tent required. This morning i made one. Got up at 5.30am and trundled down to the beach for sunrise. Only question is now, at 7.27 do [...]
I’m supposed to have travelled over to Falls Creek resort for Stylewars competition held this week, but unsavoury weather has led to me changing plans and staying put around Sydney. A slightly more relaxed schedule has led to the finer things in life; a weekend camping down the coast with night time beach golf, bouncy [...]
Its amazing what can be achieved if you take a couple of days out of your life and dedicate them to travelling…..
Without a doubt this was the favourite moment of the first flight. 6.55am, 12,000 meters above Penang off the coast of Malaysia.
Having finally caught up on some sleep i can now look forward to a hectic weekend tying up loose ends before i bid farewell to this years summer and head to the winter. Its going to be my first time in Australia for 9 years so can’t wait to get stuck in down there. Before [...]
Today is my recovery day after the Big Chill Festival which was this weekend. With hundreds of shots of musicians to wade through i thought i’d share some night time images which were taken predominately on Saturday night. The whole of Saturday was alcohol free for me so i took advantage of the fact and [...]
It’s quite a strange feeling having a laptop at a music festival, it goes against the whole idea of letting go for the weekend. As i have mine here though i think i’ll show you a couple of more images from last night. The zombies came, as did the rain but with beautiful sunshine and [...]
I’m just at Big Chill music festival with a load of Zombies.
More to follow.

It’s been a very quiet couple of weeks back in Chester and i find myself updating my Computer and lighting equipment before my Australia trip which will begin in two weeks time. I’ll be off to the Big Chill music festival later this week where they’ll be some Zombie madness going on (will explain at [...]
Here goes part 2 and its time for the portrait images. Hope you enjoy.
