Dog scooter and video
Following on from the dog sledding antics in Norway we managed to find the sport of dog scootering. Basically tying your dog to the front of an overgrown child’s scooter. It’s brilliant. I’ve also started doing a few videos with some editing. First attempt below. All shot with a GoPro Hero2 on a magic arm [...]
Shooting hoops with Flora
It’s been a beautiful day here, and we thought we’d give Flora a run around with the jumps, hoop and weave poles in the garden. Then we got the camera and reflectors out. And then the fun began. She’s usually moving so quickly through the jumps and hoop in particular that you don’t see a [...]
Camel Trail – Camera on a bike
While in Cornwall, Penelope and I thought we would take Flora for her first bike ride on the Camel Trail. It’s a 5 mile stretch of old railway line that is now a cycle path/bridleway. Perfect as there are no cars. Flora was great. I took the opportunity to strap the camera to the bike [...]
Fisheye Frenzy
Penelope and I have just got back from skiing with the Ducketts (Jen, Simon and Natalie) and Madame X (Jen’s mum). We had a great time, and some pretty good conditions for skiing and for a few pictures. I decided to take my fisheye lens along to see what could be done with it. We [...]
Something different – Rally cars
My brothers and I got my Dad a rally experience and a rather nice bottle of scotch for his 60th birthday (not to be consumed at the same time!). He booked it for today. So Mum, Paul, Anna and I went along armed with cameras (as usual). No photos of Flora or mountains I’m afraid. [...]
Kite surfers on Titchwell Beach, Norfolk
Penelope, Flora and I have been away for the weekend in Norfolk. Flora’s had an amazing time playing on the beach (pictures of that to follow). We were out on Titchwell beach and a couple of kite surfers hove into view. They proceeded at great speed across the beach and appeared to be on land. [...]
Flying high!
A couple of snaps from our skiing holiday in Les Carroz in January. Quite challenging conditions with dark background and bright snow (with reflection from the sun). Still, I really like this shot (and I think Simon quite likes it too!). Simon jumps and throws some shapes for the camera.
