Well okay it was a couple of months ago now, but I haven't had time to update the site much recently. So here is a little piece of autumn for you :-)

Well I am working up in Manchester this week and next and so decided to keep the city at night theme running. Here are few images from the centre of Manchester last night. Not the most exciting, but there you go!!More big wheels!

Just what is the London Square Mile that I have referred to in my previous posts?Well this morning I have learnt something new... The City of London is often called The Square Mile and is only the small bit in the middle that is literally made up of one square mile.Some key things that aren't in The City include:* Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column* Piccadilly Circus* The London Eye* The Tower

Again, some more from the square mile area of London. Since I am based out of Trafalgar and am not really too familiar with how to get around or where to go, I am tending to stick with this area as there is always something interesting to see.Next week I am heading up to Manchester for a bit so will see how it compares to the big schmoke of London.1.

Here are few pictures from tonights walkabout round Covent Garden and out to Picadilly again. It's all to easy these days to do a search of flickr or other picture hosting sites and get the traditional safe style site seeing photos. I am getting more adventurous with my pics and trying to build a really vibrant but gritty style into my work. I am nearly starting to think of it as art!!1. Fuzzy

1. This is the view of Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column from the roof terrace of my hotel.2. And the view to the right over the roofs to the Thames and the London Eye.3. This place is at the end of he Mall. I think it is called Admiralty House and is home to the Cabinet Office. Pretty cool the way the traffic drives through the archways to get to Trafalgar.

At the end of June my Fiancee and I took a last minute trip to Nice and toured around the south coast of France taking in Cannes and Monaco on the way. It was cloudy and dull for the first few days and a big thanks to the French for having a rail strike and not telling anyone so that we all bought tickets on way into the station and wasted an age trying to get refunds.I will admit there was some

The late summer Ford RS Club had a great turn out in Bangor. The usual suspects came along, some trailer queens and some minty mcmint machinery.Old school Fords really are endearing, MkII's and especially 3 dr Cossies are hard to beat for their sheer visual drama. For rarity, we had the lovely original RS200 and then for a hour or so we were privileged to have the company of a sweet gold Hot Rod

So one sunny Saturday morning in January I got the keys of my new Civic Type-R GT. All shiny and with that new car smell I set off pleased as punch. Some 8 months on here are some of the pics I have taken off it over this time. As a car, I love it most days, but sometimes it does irritate me. The build quality still isn't up there with VWs but then it cost a fair few quid less than a Golf GTi

Today saw an unusually dry and bright day for the Trackskills day at Kirkistown. Another excellent turnout. I thought I would try out the fabled Canon nifty fifty lens for a change, but my conclusion is that it's not really suited to motorsport pictures.I had to up the shutter speed to 1/50s to get a decent image. But it still struggled somewhat with the front of the cars in focus and the rest

In June 2008, some 46 Ferraris in cavalcade arrived in Northern Ireland as a group of Dutch drivers raised funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.The Ferrari Club of the Netherlands visited Northern Ireland as part of the charity fundraising efforts, involving hundreds of children participating in events organised by the club.I figured it was a rare opportunity to see so many Ferrari's gathered in

The Ford RS Club concours got a great day and some awesome cars made an appearance. There was the usual RS Turbos and Escort Cosworth trailer queens with their mirrors underneath, but I was really impressed with some of the little Mk1 Fiestas and the Anglia van that was awesome.However, if I was to choose a car of the show it would have to be a 3dr Cossie. Even after all these years they still

Another brilliant day for the Trackskills days in April. This was my first time trying out panning the camera with the cars and I am pretty happy with the results. Managed to get some nice shots of the GT3 in action and the little red VX220 that was going really well all day long.The Porsche GT3 RS had to be my favourite of the day although I love the picture of the 968CS coming off the kerbs at

Again a couple of old pics from the Lurgan Park rally that I came across tidying up my collection. My first real attempt at 'panning' to get a bit of an impression of speed. Not the easiest on a point and shoot camera.I like this shot of the Skoda WRC car clearly showing the power being put down through the back wheels.And also I had to post a pic of my old school mate Mike Curran in action.
