The Image Thread 2014

[Zed Five]

Nearly all my photos have bikes in them these days:

This was an early morning trip to Bala last weekend.


Cleaned bike in the sunshine after returning home 200 miles by 11.00am:

I was at the Land Rover Show at Eastnor Park at the weekend. Extremely muddy!!
They were doing a guided self drive around some of the Eastnor Land Rover Experience tracks but I decided against it considering how muddy it was and I was on road tyres. May have been a bit of damage!

Some pics:

The car park!

I also write user manuals for a company that make emergency vehicles. They also get me to take photos of finished vehicles for advertising and internet use.

A few of the vehicles I've shot:

Test drove the F-Type Coupe V8 R last week. Very nice it was too!

 

[tomscott]

Awesome pics of the emergency vehicles!!

How was the F type?

 

[NeilP]

Is there a thread where people share their setups?

 

[tomscott]

Not currently but feel free to make one!

Or integrate it either way

 

[Breaker]

Tom the F-Type was a monster!! It was the V8 R with 550 BHP! That thing from 50 to silly MPH is amazing with dynamic and sport mode switched on, almost too much! Handles well although on full power acceleration the steering did go a little light and lost some feel. I think as a road car the V6 may be a better bet.



Short vid of the sports exhaust with the "loud" button depressed. The flaps in the exhaust that open at higher RPM in dynamic mode fully open all the time!!

Lovely pics Breaker.

Ive been a bit quiet on here recently just because I've been so busy. Here is a recent series of images of Haweswater Resevoir made for United Utilities and nearly missed the National meet.

All with 5DMKIII 16-35mm F2.8 L MKII and 70-200mm F2.8 L MKII

Shot with an ND filter for a long exposure of the clouds, blurry water and grasses.

This one was taken at 11-30am at night, the night before the Super moon and is lit completely by the moon. If you look carefully you can see the stars.

Ended up camping there on the thursday night. This was my home for the night, the sun didn't set until 12-30am and rose again at 4, meanwhile the moon was so bright it was like day anyway so got no sleep and a mardy sheep tried to get into my tent mid way through the night which was interesting.

Beautifully peaceful tho.

Got a lot more to edit and sort through so will post them when I can.

Last Monday I was lucky enough to go and see the London Mall finish of the Tour De France! I had VIP tickets from winning a photo comp on Facebook!!

I took my Dad with me as he is a big cycling fan and at 75 is still cycling strong!

A few pics.

Alberto Contador






The sprint winds up to around 45MPH!!




Small section of the crowd!! Check also behind the trees as there was a large screen in the park.




Food in the VIP enclosure waiting for the Tour to arrive.




The view from the other side of the VIP enclosure. A little crowded!




My Dad VIP'ing it up!!

 

[Breaker]

I'll be finishing on The Mall myself on the 10th of August as I'm riding the Ride London 100 mile cycle event for charity!

If anyone is interested in sponsoring me, please feel free (a few on here have already. Many thanks for that).

Absolutely stunning Tom.

Just "refreshing" my kit now as my 20d has given up, so will most likely go for the 7D MKII which will be out in a month and still being a crop sensor, I can use all my existing lenses.

Getting a glidecam as well for the filming element which I want to work one. Have you tried something like that on the 5D MKIII Tom?
