I’ve recently added a D3100 to sit alongside my D70 in my camera bag. Heres a shot I took a few days ago of one of my favourite subjects, the Moon.

Shoot the moon
September 21st, 2011Turndown exhausts on my Yamaha Dragstar
May 15th, 2010Today is a good day, i’ve just been to pick up my motorbike from the workshop. She has been fitted with turndown exhausts, and boy oh boy are they loud. The bike is no longer called named The Monster, but is now “Thor’s Hammer“.
A little bit of fabrication work had to be done to get this to fit. Some brackets had to be made up, the RHS foot peg and rear brake lever had to be repositioned slightly, and the control regulator had to be moved.
The end effect is perfect though 
Still a few more little bits to do, biggest of which are the forward controls, but we are nearly there!
Isle of Skye – Panoramic
May 14th, 2010A friend of mine has a very nice little cottage on the Isle of Skye that his family rents out to holiday makers. I try to go there at least once a year to recharge and get away from London.
So what? Why the Isle of Skye? Whats so special?
Well this is the view from the bottom of the driveway…
Click on it for the full version, be warned, its 19263 x 2426. I’ve made the full res version available on flickr, but please do let me know if you use it anywhere. I might get a 6ft wide print made up to hang in my room.
I really do love the Isle of Skye The panoramic above was shot on the 2009 trip up there, didn’t shoot much else. The 2008 set are on flickr though.
As always, please feel free to post a comment, or come and talk to me on twitter.
Evening experiments with the light
May 9th, 2010This evening, as I was heading out the front door, vernier caliper in hand, to take bike measurements for replacement parts, when I noticed the light condition – ran back inside, and emerged with my shooter.
Here are the results;
