No reason for this other than to remind myself that it doesn’t rain every day. Another day photographing training sessions, an email while I was working asking me if I had something suitable for the front page. Oh, and a quick (soft) drink before the drive back to the Lightroom. This was the view. Reminder …
Some time ago Uli Cloesen contacted us from New Zealand about using some of our shots of Kevil’s Ruby BMW café racer in his new book. The bike was only around for a short while before going off to it’s new home in Poland. Well it’s been a long but worthwhile wait, the book is …
The problem with having a humungous head is that if someone offers you a small helmet (stoppit) you will have to politely decline. In doing so you may miss the opportunity of riding a Kevil’s BMW café racer up the hill past Haytor on the first sunny day since Richard the Third parked his Astra …
Fiona on the train to Wengen photographed by Andrew Butler (Shot on D7000 with Nikkor 18-200 VR II on train). So, one pressing travel problem, which camera to take. Generally the Leica would be my camera of choice but it’s not a tool for the inexperienced; pass someone an M9 and you will then have …
It’s not the first time I have been here but always great to re-visit Teo Jakob in Bern. They seem happy to have people just mooching round with a camera. I guess I may use these as backgrounds some day, who knows? Last time I did this it was with a little Canon Ixus. This …
On holiday in Wengen, Switzerland. So the story to this odd photo. It was the snow show on the nursery slope at Wengen last night, I had the 50 f1.4 on the D7000 so it works out at 80mm or so. This was at f2 ISO 2500 and 1/8. The skier (Ghost Riders) had lights …
It has been put to me recently that I have a bit of a luggage fetish and I guess I stand guilty as charged. Last year someone gave me one of those roller luggage things and on the first throw into the Swiss train’s luggage rack the wheel fell off. This is no way to …
In the past I have written about how unimportant the tech is; I think it is fair to say that many photographers would agree that you don’t need a camera to be a good photographer, I would concur with this. To explain. For me, the tech is what gets in the way between what one …
Some time ago I was sat at home and my daughter said “I’d like to see a yellow Lamborghini Daddy”. I told her that I wasn’t certain I could manage a Lambo but I knew a place new there would be some Ferraris; Carrs of Exeter. An incredibly fine stock of vehicles complimented by really …
A blustery and ultimately snow swept moment at Torquay marina earlier, photographing Kevil’s Amigo BMW café racer. I think this one is going to a warmer place, Bolivia. Anyway, nice to hear that the new WordPress website (by Design Credo) has already supplied a new commission for Kev, let’s look forward to a warmer shoot …
