I was asked yesterday for a list of upcoming events. This made me look closely at my diary which, owing to the great British weather, is quiet frankly a total mess. I have crossings out, I have question marks and I have big sad faces where events were cancelled and unfortunately not rescheduled.

But its not all doom and gloom…although the Shrewsbury Regatta had sadly to be cancelled this last weekend owing to the river Severn being too high and fast flowing, this meant that we were happily able to photograph The Festival of the Horse at Llanymynech which itself had been rescheduled from April…

and also Chirbury Fun Ride in a extremely beautiful part of Shropshire…

Huge thanks to PJMC on another excellent race meet, the track was in superb condition considering the recent weather we have all had. Some hard work put in by the Buttercup Farm Crew, well done.

It was great to feel as summer was eventually on its way, with the sun fully out just a few clouds it looked to be a pretty good days racing. The day went well, with the track running pretty fast there was plenty of air shots, with the blue skies I managed to get a few decent shots..

With some excellent riding throughout all the groups, I had an easy day shooting, plenty of fast action to capture. Favourite group of the day, gotta be the Auto’s, they ride anything..

Huge thanks to all those who purchased prints, your Free Facebook images are on my page to tag. All other images are in our gallery.

Washbrook Farm MX 12th May 2012

It was pretty good to wake up to a sunny blue sky for once… so good… and the track was pretty good too..

After the recent weather it was great to see Washbrook looking in perfect condition, great to see so many riders in all groups. Decided to have a change this week, opting for a slightly different lighting setup. Must admit, changing things every week gives a bit more of a challenge for me.

Some great riding as always, made it slightly easier.. Track look perfect rode pretty well, after being compacted by the recent weather the track started to get a light dust, but still held up excellent.

Even had a bit of time for a good play with the fisheye, with plenty of encouragement from me,I was able to capture some great shots on the last corner. Theres a set in the galleries from today..

 

Thanks to all those who purchased prints today, Free Facebook images are on my page, please tag away…

Don’t forget… we are holding our Kids Photoshoot Trackday on Wednesday 6th June, anyone wishing to book a place, please hurry a few places left..
