    Wedding: Greg & Charlotte

    I personally wasn't a fan of the original colour processing, feeling that it spoilt what are excellent photos. I think the new colour processing matches much better with the excellent B&Ws. A fantastic set, beautifully captures the feel and emotion of the day (I've just got married so brought...

    how best to shoot a bike?

    I would say these were a good start and that you have the right idea with DoF and concentrating on specific elements of the bike.

    Hi the North 2.5 - cyclocross & mtb

    Hi (from manchester)

    Hi all. Yes indeed I am. Although an attempt to set myself up as a freelance photographer is currently having a tug of war with the time set aside for riding. Taking the pictures really is the easy bit! I'm based in Sale, in South Manchester at the moment.
