Outlaws On Tour - Project

We spent a few weeks this month teaching the Explorers about photography, studio work, lighting, editing and photoshopping! The aim the guys had was to show them "On The Road Tour" travelling to different world locations! I knocked together the "Route 66".

The result!

Time For Climbing!

Its November, theres Holiday to take - We're heading to Wales! A collection of us headed up for a week in the hills and mountains! This week was the best weather I'd ever had in Snowdonia! I actually saw off the top of Snowdon!!!!! We covered a few peaks, some classic climbs, urbexed an old ammo bump and trekked across the old quarries!

The Discovery Of New Fire Games!

With it being November and Fireworks Night this month it sparked, excuse the pun, us off to discover new toys, tricks and party talents with fire. Most of our weekends this month have consisted of breathing fire, spitting fire and stinking of paraffin! However it has allowed for some awesome photos!

Nikon 1 - Press launch Shanghai

After returning from an awesome trip in South Africa I was asked by the MD if I'd be willing to go on a Nikon Press Launch for 5 days. Straight away I agreed to go on the trip, the only detail that was missed was the fact I'd be heading to China!
This turned out to be the launch of the Nikon 1 System cameras which I received a month or two before their release to go out and see the factory where they're made and also test out both the V&J1 cameras. Everything about this trip was awesome and we were treated like royalty! Certainly is something I will never forget!

Studio Helping Day!

Dave, a good friend of mine, hired a local studio for a fashion/glamour shoot for his project he's working on. I headed down to lend a hand in any way I could and spent most of my time shifting and moving lights for him. Was kind cool not having to worry about "my photos" coming out badly. Looking forward to the next assistant role!

GoPro Sea Kayaking / Mount testing

Spent the day kayaking with Dad and one of his friends, Marine Dave! Was a short paddle from Lee-On-Solent and this gave me the chance to test how good the GoPro's Suction Mount was! Attaching it to the deck with the camera facing me was the easy part. Being able to trust it was the hard bit. So I attached a bungee leash to it just in case. The safety line wasn't required though as it stuck and held with no problems! I do however want to state that if you apply it when the deck is wet the suction mount will detach! Bring on the Wi-Fi BacPac now!
