London to Brighton Veteran Car Run pictures: Madeira Drive, Brighton, Nov 7, 2010


Managed to get some great pictures of the Veteran Car Run this year on a beautiful day in Brighton. It was probably one of the best days I have seen in the many years of covering the event. What's more, the Daily Telegraph website featured 30 of my images.

This year, the pictures were taken with the great Canon 7D DSLR. With its high-speed drive, even in RAW mode, the camera was a joy to use... although I had to edit down more than 1,000 images!

Nostalgia: Chevrolet Impala

Chevrolet ImpalaI love going through pictures I have taken over the years and comparing the different cameras used. It is always interesting to see how the technology has improved. And, of course, I keep asking myself if an upgrade to the latest  equipment is really necessary. Take this picture of an old Chevvy for example. It was taken two years ago with a Leica Digilux 3 - only 7.5m pixels, a bit clunky, but still great results. Full pic

And what about that o-so-practical classic, the Olympus OM1. Yes, I've used them all! Below is a picture I took in Bergen, Norway, about 17 years ago, using an OM1, with the standard 50mm Zuiko lens and Kodak negative film.  Norway pictures

The Upside Down House


Polish designers Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk have built an upside down house because they wanted "to do something different.”
It is certainly that... check out more pictures of this bizarre house: bitrebels.com

Black and White Horse


Going through old pictures I have taken to see what can be turned into black and white.

This beautiful horse was taken a few years back using one of the very first Canon digital SLRs on the market, the D30. It was only 3m pixels, but the images are still rather good.

It's that time of year again

According to the weather forecast, it might be a bit chilly, but dry.
My images last year were featured on the Daily Telegraph website

Iceland in black and white














Looking through some of my pictures taken in Iceland to convert to black and white. Here's a nice moody picture of an old fishing boat in Reykjavik harbour.
