World Super Bikes Donington 2011

As one of my last treats whilst working in the Automation Systems division of Mitsubishi, I was priviledged to get an invite to their new corporate box at Donington Park Racetrack. The new upper level box is situated just before the first corner (Redgate) so there is a mad scramble for position with lots of excitement! The event, held in March 2011 was the European round of the World Superbike Championships.

Although a great day for bikers, I had another reason for wanting to attend a high performance race meet. My main was to get some experience and practice some high speed race photography. It turned out to be a great day out, giving me the chance to really test a telephone lens on my Canon camera. (Techies can find out more from my Donington Park Gallery Page.) The high speed of the bikes certainly challenged my photographic abilities. I was amazed at how close together they ran around Redgate without a collision, so I took one or two shots of the ensuing melee. Although there were loads of shots which I didnt quite get right, and in pin sharp focus, I was really pleased with the results for the day. If you ask me who won, I would probably have to reply that it was a “bloke on a bike who took a great picture at F11 at 1/600 sec.” (Quite sad really…..)

A slideshow of a few of the pictures are found in the Donington World Super Bikes under the Gallery section.

I have just put together a short slideshow which shows the Spanish Villa, Verdemar III Estate and a few of the local beaches.

Download the file below and unzip it.

This unzips to an application which can run without any installation, so it doesn’t add anything to your computer. Once it loads it runs the slideshow which I am sure you will enjoy

I think it is a little bit impressive! Hope you do too

The Images of Winter

Technojeff — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 21:32:20 +0000

Winter is a wondeful time of year as it brings deep frosts and snow covered landscapes. The trees are bare of their foliage and yet carry the jewels of berries waiting to nourish the birds. For the photographer this winter wonderland is full of opportunity to see the world fringed with crystal frosts adding sparkel to the last colours of autumn. The collection here was taken during early dawn at Scalford Hall in Leicestershire, and outside our home in Milton Keynes.

So here are a few of the images
