John Brame from RGActive coming in from the cycle on the team relay race which he kept telling everyone was "a bit of fun"... I think he forgot to tell himself that.

Urban and road
Urban and road, a set on Flickr.
I just posted a few of my favourite shots from my recent Urban Cyclist shoots over on flickr. They're all shot on the new Nikon D800 with Sigma or Nikon lenses. So pleased with this camera, even though a full day of shooting now requires well over 50gb of memory cards without even doing any video!
Let me know what you think to the images!

Adam Williams x Rose 2
Fin and me drove over to visit Adam in Swansea last week to shoot some video and talk about his plans for the summer season. I shot a few stills as well, including this 360 using the Nikon 10.5mm f2.8 Fisheye. Pretty pleased with the way it came out given the slightly odd angle. The video will be on Rose Bikes Bike Channel (http://bike-channel.tv/) in a couple of weeks.

Rob Weaver - Morewood for MBUK
Shot for MBUK. It wasnt raining when we unloaded the van, but once we got down into the woods it started and got very dark. Ended up having to change the shot to suit but ended up with this corner. Loving the rain in the top left of the frame and the bit of roost coming from the wheels too.
