Pictures, Videos and other meanderings…

Racer, originally uploaded by Coleslawz.

This afternoon, I challenged my son to a race – after all he does have a racer. Trouble is, he was racing against the car – and after getting my wife Sandie to do the driving, he knew he was up against it.

So there we were, Sandie driving, me hanging out of the rear tailgate of the car and my son desperately trying to keep up with us, whilst getting zapped by a touch of flash every so often.

Lesson learned from this escapade, is find a smooth road – I banged my head a few times as we hit bumps, and lots of the photos were quite blurry as I was using a slow shutter speed to get the motion effect.

Still, a bit of fun on an otherwise grey Sunday afternoon )

It’s the end of half term for the kids, and naturally after a few days of not going to school they get a bit bored, so I made a video about them.

Really, I was trying out the 5Dmk2 video, and still have some practice to do with it before I nail it, but I think I like the function – judge for yourself!

Spent a couple of hours yesterday with Holly, who is getting married in Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, checking out the layout of the place and looking where the light falls.

It’s going to be a themed wedding with a big old Cadillac which I sadly won’t get to ride in, but it should be a blast.

Really looking forward to photographing the wedding in August and I expect the sun to shine! Thats official!
