2009 so far...

Thu Aug 20, 2009, 12:25 AM
So, it's been an interesting year, with HM Plant's dodgy brakes, Casey's fatigue sickness and a Texan fella with big elbows taking it to Nori. Nevermind all the action in the TT, Ulster, NW200, Oliver's Mount and all the other smaller Irish circuits, plus Bradley Smith, Cal Crutchlow and Norge, Alastair Seeley, Plater and so many other players in the world of bike sports.

As for my year, well, i've managed to shoot most of the aforementioned riders and met quite a few, albeit briefly, but you get a good impression of what these guys (and girls) are like.

I've started submitting my work to Motorbike Sport, so you'll see mine and another 'tog or two's work on the site after every meeting we shoot. There's a great forum on the site too, so you can talk about racing, road bikes, photography and loads of other pointless (but highly amusing) subjects.

Anyway, check the site out: [link] and get registered on the forum.

Anyway, in the next few weeks there's Cadwell Park and Croft BSB rounds, then i'll be spending a fortnight in Florida. Taking my tripod this time to attempt some more startrails shots, as there's not much light pollution where we'll be staying. This means i'll miss the Gold Cup at Oliver's and Silverstone BSB, but I can live with that for two weeks in the States!

  • Mood: Spidey Sense
  • Listening to: Grizzly Bear, Pearl Jam, Chickenhawk, Bossk
  • Reading: Brubaker's Criminal and a lot of comics off eBay
  • Watching: A lot of Mock The Week, QI, Family Guy

What would you recommend for a first flashgun thatll fit a Nikon D40?

I'd buy a third party one like a jessops, tamrac or cobra... get a high guide number so you've got a nice powerful one.

then i'd look at these: [link]

the money you've saved not buying a nikon unit, you can get one of these and set up a small tripod off camera and get awesome shots like this guy's: [link]

only a suggestion, of course, but i'm looking to buy a tranny and receiver sometime soon to get some shots like that.

check out the rest of ruincircle's gallery too - he's pretty damn good.

Cheers dude.

Im guessing the remotes are for having if your flashgun was set to side? And you can use any type of flash with it? I think that would be really cool! His pics are amazing!

Thanks again.

The write-ups i've seen of the alienbees are for use with any flash, but you can get nikon-fit guns from quite a few different makes.

then you can just add the remote and receiver for some experimentation!
