this is mine, had it around 4 years, very pleased with it http://www.tamrac.com/5587.htm

Last couple of weeks...

http://songasport.blogspot.com/ for my motorsport writing and photography... don't have one for the other stuff yet.

A rally rescue training weekend that I was asked to document. We made a Clio convertible :D

I'll join in with this for as long as I remember :o 01/52: 02/52: 03/52: 04/52: 05/52

make one of these... http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html

It's an excellent lens, very sharp, I use one for most of my portrait work.

Thanks for the comments, Nikon D300 with 18-70 lens on some and 50mm on others Nik.

Taken yesterday and today...

Dear? Renault did the remap for free on mine, I just had to quote the relevant code off their system. I had the melting steering wheel too, that was replaced under warranty. The other thing I don't like about mine is not having a 7th gear (or a taller 6th). Fuel economy is crap but get a...

from earlier in the year...

Why do you need a flash to shoot a gig? I use SB600 and 800, both good.

it's my favourite too I think, the wind and rain were horrendous, I couldn't see properly due to water on the camera/glasses so had to completely guess the focus point etc... quite pleased how the pic came out considering.

If there's some decent scenery around I try and include it to give a sense of where the rally was held and/or the conditions... there's no point doing full frame shots all the time, they'd all look the same :S And the night shots... I was stood approx one metre off the road for the Stig shot...

Friday... Drove to Pickering, had a look around scutineering... spotted LAR800P and LAR801P parked together :D ... then went of into the rain and fog of Langdale forest Saturday... Started at Oliver's Mount where a Lancia aimed for my toes :eek: and then back to Langale for...

They were testing that last month in M-Sport's forest, the engine went bang :dead: They're around £250k is someone wants to trade in their 182.

this was my last stage rally... http://www.songasport.co.uk/09Cam/09Cam.html I've only done one off-road event since then, that's linked from the homepage.

He's just joined CAR magazine.

Depends on the event, a lot require you to provide evidence you are working for a newspaper/magazine although it seems that's not the case for the Tempest. I've got 4 days of rallying coming up starting tomorrow night in Yorkshire and finishing in Kielder on Monday afternoon :D

So you were driving too close to react to the situation and it's the guy in front who's an idiot? :S

Last week I turned out of a T junction, within 100 metres I was behind a Clio 200, 30mph limit, quite busy, in a line of cars all doing 30... he suddenly accelerates, pulls out and passes two cars doing around 50, cutting up one of them as he forces his way back in to avoid hitting an oncoming...

I use that lens for a lot of portrait and gig work, it's nice and sharp.

You can also change the filename prefix on Nikons usually. Or just save them to a different folder each time you download to the computer.

I took mine to the garage yesterday to complain about the steering wheel wearing (started at 30k miles). According to the dealer computer it's a 100% warranty item so there shouldn't be a problem with anyone else getting one?

no. 1 and 2 distracting backgrounds, clear them or underexpose/use fill-in flash. no. 3 seems quite a harsh light plus big shadow... diffuse the light source and move the subject away from the wall. no. 4 and 5 look like snapshots, need composed better eg dogs looking up, legs not cropped...

depends what you find boring I suppose... I find beautiful scenery and pretty much deserted single track roads in a 197 quite entertaining :D

Have you tried photographing something completely different from normal? I get sick of shooting rallying but getting out in the country and doing some landscapes or doing some portrait stuff keeps me interested in photography generally.

Yeah Tobermory, or Balamory if you are under 10 :) We were staying at the campsite just up the hill out of Tob, my first time there, will definitely be back.

don't tell anyone but the moonlight was provided by an LED Maglite :o

Had a trip up to the Mallaig peninsula and then on to the Isle of Mull... took a few pics:
