The images are now up for Round 1 of the 2011 HALO British Downhill Series. Go check the sports section for the gallery, or click HERE to go straight to there. There is a link in the gallery description for my Roots and Rain account, where my MTB event images are available at a discounted price.

Not that I'm complaining, it means I have work to do and stuff to keep me occupied.

Kitesurf article - I had a shoot with Johara yesterday, and we have one penciled in for tomorrow too, fingers crossed for the weather. We are currently co-writing an article for Kitesurf magazine next month, I won't post any of the images up until the issue has been published, but I will say that I am quite excited about tomorrow's shoot, it is something we have had planned for a while (I just hope it turns out close to what I have in my head).

2011 HALO BDS - I have just received confirmation of my media pass for the 2011 HALO British Downhill Series. Round 1 is this weekend at Nant Gwrtheyrn, so I shall be spending Saturday and Sunday with some of the world's elite DH racers. Expect the images to appear towards the middle of next week.

Grey Seals - I spent half an hour or so this morning with our local Grey Seal colony. The forecast was for sunshine so I was hoping for some nice early morning light, unfortunately what I got was a grey overcast morning. Nevertheless I got some images out of the session and you can view them in the Grey Seals gallery (link below).
I would love a quiet word with the two people on a jet ski who came right into the bay with a video camera though, they freaked the resting colony out and half of them made a break for the water in near panic. Actions like this jeopardise the future of a breeding colony and I would hate for the seals to find a different breeding location in the future because of the irresponsible actions of a few individuals.

Well last sunday (20th February) I headed down to Nant Gwrtheyrn to cover the first round of the 2011 North Wales Downhill Series. Due to difficult shooting conditions I tried some different techniques that I think worked out pretty well.
Head over to the Sports gallery to view the images from the day.

I have some more MTB projects in the pipeline, including some self portrait work with radio controlled shutter releases, and hopefully working with some of the people from Mountain Biking North Wales (http://www.mbnw.co.uk/). More info on these projects will be available here when I have arranged further details.
