Loved every minute of today, hastily purchased a DSLR on Thursday as I've been out of action since falling ill last July but just got the all clear, just in time for Silverstone today... Silverstone WEC 2013 by Harry_S, on Flickr Silverstone WEC 2013 by Harry_S, on Flickr Silverstone WEC...

Any suggestions for a PSU and Graphics Card that will comfortably fit in a fairly small case with a Micro ATX motherboard? It won't be for anything majorly intensive, new Sim City, Euro Truck Sim etc. It's running a 250w PSU and onboard (Intel HD4500) graphics at the moment, so any substantial...

Good old DUF parked up on West Wilts Trading Estate yesterday afternoon (about 4:15) opposite my Mum's workplace (which is next to the race car prep place), looked pretty tidy. Haven't seen it for about 6 years, took me right back!

As I'm not able to work much at the moment and need to regain some fitness I've been walking along my local canal pretty much every other day. Amazing place that I've had on my doorstep all my life but hardly ever gone near it. My aim is to shoot it for a whole year, as luck would have it the...

After missing trips to Hawaii, Vegas, San Francisco and Venice in the past few months due to ill health I finally got out and about with the camera this weekend. We had planned to do Highgate Cemetary on Saturday then an evening of shooting in Central London, but the rain never let up all day...

It's that time of the year again, feel free to share any of this years efforts here. I dusted off the camera last night, left it on the ground pointing up taking 4 second exposures at f8. No wind whatsoever at the start of the display so it was just plumes of smoke, but thankfully 10 minutes in...

No takers here? Arrived yesterday (£30 on Amazon), really impressed with it. By far the nearest thing to a proper rally game for those that are after that kind of thing. Handling and graphics have improved considerably since WRC 2. The reviews, as always, are distinctly average, but dig deeper...

Anyone getting this? Words cannot explain how awesome it looks, a throwback to the Dreamcast days if ever there was one. Fantastic review on Eurogamer: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-24-tokyo-jungle-review

I picked this up on Thursday evening, drove straight home, went to bed, then was up at 4am on Friday for a 200 mile roundtrip to the Festival of Speed. Love it, similar to my old Ignis Sport in many ways, superb handling and feels like it's going at about 100mph everywhere (it's not!), feels...

My 4th visit (I think), but my first for a while, it just gets bigger and bigger every year. It looks as though Mr Bahar chucked a few quid around before he was sacked, the Lotus show room was immense. Didn't bother too much with the photography this time as I've done that to death at the FoS...

Any ideas how to go about this for somebody who pretty much has a mechanical limit of changing a wheel, air filter or topping up oil? I've been given a few places that can do the work on my gearbox, but obviously it needs to come out, be sent off, then be re-fitted again. The chances of that...

My current Ph1 is my 4th Clio, I've put well over 100k miles in to them over the years and never had a single issue or breakdown (remarkably). I bought it fairly cheap just over a year ago (£1300) and have had a year of trouble free motoring in what was/is a fantastically well maintained car...

Driving home from work yesterday, Inferno 182 followed me (Black Ph1) from the Platinum Renault roundabout to Westbury. Black and/or very dirty wheels. Not seen an Inferno around here for a few years (since Matt off of here owned one).

Jay and Tony kindly accepted my offer to join the team for the day in the absence of Mr Freeman, so up I got at 5am yesterday for the trek to Brands. On arrival the Burpspeed Hospitality Suite was all ready in full swing, so fuelled by a bacon roll I got to work... Off to...

I've had my 5D for a little while now but it's been sat in my camera bag since I bought it as I've been flat out planning our wedding for ages (it happened on Saturday, awesome day :)), as the missus is a teacher we didn't have time to go away properly (honeymoon is in July), so headed off to...

Hooning around last night around 7pm (big Industrial Estate in Westbury, Wiltshire), I was out taking night time pics of my car (Black Ph1 172)

It's not looking pretty right now... GAME not stocking Ubisoft Vita launch games GAME cancels Last Story pre-orders at the last minute...and the Special Edition Game not stocking Tekken 3DS GAME to close 35 stores, and they shut Gameplay website Basically they have no credit insurance, so...

As I'm getting married in a few weeks and probably starting a family soon after I figured it was now or never (I can only assume I'm going to be very poor once kids arrive!), so I bought a 5D. It arrived yesterday but unfortunately my other purchase, a Canon 200mm 2.8 L II is sat in a Parcel...

Probably the most eye-opening site I've ever used, thought it may be of interest to some people... http://www.tineye.com Basically, upload or link to one of your images and it will scan the web for usage of it. The first one I tried of mine came back with 64 hits (all of which were genuinely...

Noticed a post on here a few days back mentioning Smeatharpe, so I decided to have a dig around and have a look through some of my old photos. Several hours and many good memories later I figured it would be nice to throw a few up here. The oldest pics are 7 years old, the last one I attended...

Heading home from work in Lacock yesterday around 4:45 and followed a Silver Extreme with a ClioSport sticker in the back, the over-riding feature being the alloys (very wide and small with stretched tyres, no idea what they were as I'm too old to understand that scene :) )

A few from a lovely 7:30am drive around Wiltshire this morning. Just over 6 months of ownership now and still loving it, looks as good as new after a clean.

Trip number 6 (I think), last year we managed to get stuck on the runway in the snow and never made it, so we booked the exact same dates etc for this year. Bit of good fortune really, as the weather was superb, the missus worked out we've spent over 30 days in NYC and had 25 completely clear...

Anyone had a go at these this year? For something a little different I tried using the Fisheye this year, plonked the Gorillapod down on the floor and fired away whilst enjoying the show. As there was so much in frame I kept the aperture narrower than normal to remove as much clutter as...

I was very apprehensive about taking my M43 gear to Silverstone for the Britcar 24hr, I wondered if I should leave it at home and just enjoy the racing as I assumed it would give up in those sorts of conditions. I need not have worried though, it was amazing and having an Electronic Viewfinder...

My 5th Rallyday I think, a bit 'meh' this year apart from the second hour of the Feature Stage, the weather conditions were fun though! #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Motorsport/Rallyday-2011

A few from Saturday, only popped in during the morning to give my new little camera a workout. Loads of RS Clios about on track and parked around the circuit... A few more here: http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/Motorsport/Summer-Action-Day-2011/

I was stood in my usual place at Castle Combe on Monday, me and about 2 or 3 other people around that particular area (it's not a great spectating spot, but it's the fastest part of the circuit), then this happened... http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4825 Amazingly...

For the 4th time in 5 years we headed to Ibiza for our summer holiday, this time finally moving away from Portinatx to the almost as picturesque resort of Cala Llonga (in comfortably the best hotel we've ever stayed in). In 11 days we barely moved aside from a night in Ibiza Town and another in...

One of the benefits of the Micro 4/3s system is a staggering range of customization. With the right adaptor my little Olympus Pen will accept just about any lens ever made, even if it wasn't made for a stills camera. Exhibit A is my impossibly small CCTV lens, 25mm with a maximum aperture of...
