Feature – Porsche GT3RS vs Ferrari 458 Italia

January 24, 2012

Two cars that have been written about so many times within the last twelve months that you must wonder what else can be said about them. As I write this, I’m not on the Number One tier of motoring writers who are given the very first opportunity to drive the latest releases before everyone else. [...]

Shooting the Canon EOS 1D4 in my real world.

June 24, 2010

Last time I grabbed a Canon EOS 1D4, it was in a winter period when there was little happening on the car photography front, so the test I did back then concentrated on it’s low light capabilities. But I was still interested to see what it brought along to a car photo shoot, where outright [...]

The Pain & Pleasure of Shooting Porsches

January 12, 2010

Like most of my work, there’s always an embargo for publication, so I’m often writing about things several months after the shoot. This Total 911 shoot is one such, it’s just been published in the Jan 2010 issue and you can buy a copy here. I owned a 930 Turbo a few years ago, but [...]

Car Magazines and Video – part 2

April 24, 2009

My posting on car magazine websites and video content certainly generated interest. Many writers I spoke with and indeed one publisher reckoned it summed up the way they were feeling, but they also felt I was being a little harsh – not all videos are bad. Indeed, that’s true, so to put the record straight, [...]

The Ice Driver Project II

March 2, 2009

Previously, I described how I prepared the lightest possible collection of gear to use the Canon 5D in Sweden, hoping that we could cover all the bases and get what we needed. My 1DS works fine in temparatures below -30c, so I had no worries about the camera dying, though previously when shooting stills and [...]

When Working For Free is a Winner

January 17, 2009

In December, I wrote about Strobist’s blog entry on working for free and the flurry of comments it created. At the time, I said that I’d find the time in January to write about a time when working for free has worked out for me, so here’s one….
