Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge

What a week. I've been out shooting the Adventure Challenge with a mate of mine for a coffee table book we're producing. Early starts, long days but brilliant fun. Got some nice shots. I'm going through them now and will post some up here as soon as.

I've been doing a few family portrait sessions recently. This was from one of them. You can check out more over on flickr here.

Experimenting with some movement and using lights fired directly at the camera. I like the flare you get from the strobes plus the way it lights the moving hair.

I've updated my website a little. Stripped out some images and made the navigation simple. I'm using slideshow pro and so far it seems pretty easy to use.

I looked out the window this morning and saw this. It's times like this I wish I lived on the edge of the desert and not in the middle of a development. I had to crop the hell out of this pic to remove the villa next door and the pylons but the sky was to good to pass up. With sunrises you've just got to catch the moment. Well here goes another day.

Was out in the desert this weekend taking pics of these guys jumping off dunes on their Honda CRF 450s. Very good fun, plus it gave me an excuse to take the Landy into the dunes.
