skate

Seen as today is International Go Skateboarding Day, I thought I would post some images from a skateboard shoot I did a little while ago. I took some led work lights, some coloured cellophane and a fair amount of tape to stick the lights to Harrys skateboard!

I used the hi-speed sync on my flashgun to expose for Harry and leave the dusky sky under-exposed and used a couple of flashguns remotely to light him up while making light trails around the park.

Donington Park - Aston Martin GT4 Challenge, Round 3

Donington Park was host to the third round of the GT4 Challenge at the beginning of June. I tried over and under exposing some shots for creative purposes, and a few more panoramic crops to isolate the subjects into a nice clean background.

 Hollywood & Craner bends, I tried a narrow crop as I like how the track widens and narrows like a piece of ribbon

Aston Martin GT4 Challenge - Oulton Park

Round two of the GT4 Challenge at Oulton Park, the weather was something to be desired but was still an action packed day of racing! 

I tried a few panoramic crops in my edit, the wet weather meant some long trails of spray behind the cars. I also used a flash to light up my subject on a couple of shots in order to leave the sky dark and moody.
