I'm off in the wilds of Newfoundland this week with fellow rally photographer, Andrew Harvey, shooting the epic 5-day, 2200km road race across the province. Head on over to Flatovercrest.com where you'll find daily updates and photo galleries from the event...
Just finished up a fun little promo video for Whistler Diaries and Dincus Clothing...spoofing the Whistler mountain bike lifestyle. All shot over a span of three hours earlier in August.
Well, at least I have four months to start saving my pennies! Nikon has just announced their new D3 - a 12 megapixel, 11 frame-per-second, full-frame sensor digital pro body. Having just been blown away with a borrowed D2X (I own a D2H), I am definitely going to be in line for this new camera. Although, at a list price of over $5,000 Canadian, I'm going to have to sell a lot of extra photos between now and the expected December release! [dpreview]
I was out in Pemberton today for the second photo shoot for Outdoor Adventures Whistler. This time we were trying to capture the horseback ride experience and the amazing mountain scenery of Mount Currie. Check out the photo set on Flickr:
I've been checking out JPG Magazine for quite some time, but never really got around to submitting anything. They currently have a theme that is right up my alley - "Gravity Powered" - so I've submitted a few photos. If they get enough votes, and get published, I get $100 and a subscription to the mag. So, help me out and click on the link below to check out my images!
The latest episode of my Flatovercrest.com Video Magazine series is now online. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to travel to New Zealand with US rally competitors, Ken Block and his codriver Alex Gelsomino as they raced in the 2007 Hella International Rally of Whangarei.
This site will be a mess over the next few days as I morph my Formula Photo site with my blog. I've got some cool ideas that I'm going to try and execute, but I'm learning typepad on the fly, so it'll be an interesting viewing experience for anyone checking out the site!
In the meantime, check out the redesigned site I just made for flatovercrest.com - now that Typepad has the ability to create Pages, you can pretty much do anything a normal website could do. I've been using the Typepad Hacks site to learn how to customize.
Just finished up the weekend shooting the Champ Car race in Edmonton.
A selection of photos:
I spent this past weekend shooting photos at the BC Cup mountain bike race in Mission, BC. It's been a while since I've shot a downhill race, and I must admit it felt good. I did this for so many years...for so many races, that it's an old comfort zone. I know what I'm doing when it comes to shooting DH racing, and - after a morning "warm-up" - I was right back into it, getting some wicked shots. I reunited with some familiar faces from days gone by, and got to spend some time hanging out with the Squamish kids. All in all, a very fun weekend...and I even made some money to boot!
