Photo of the Day - November 25th, 2018

Today's Photo of the Day is a throwback to 2010, driving through Death Valley in California in my 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood 75. On this particular road trip, we covered approximately 5000 miles in the Cadillac, taking in some of the tightest mountain roads in the US as well as some of the longest straights and a visit to the Bonneville salt flats for SpeedWeek 2010.

Photo of the Day - November 24th, 2018

It's not often I get to shoot concerts, but it is something I enjoy doing. There's a different set of challenges to those you encounter most of the time, and yet, a lot of the things you learn shooting motorsport still apply. There are some really weird lighting situations to deal with, usually only one chance to get a particular shot right, and quite a few restrictions on where you can actually shoot from that limit you, but at the same time force you to challenge yourself. Today's Photo of the Day comes from a gig I was lucky enough to shoot back in 2011, when ZZ Top played the Perth Motorplex, supported by Rose Tattoo, The Joy Evelation and Datura, and features the three members of ZZ Top, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, during their set.

Today's Photo of the Day comes from the beautiful natural wonderland that is Mossman Gorge in Far Northern Queensland. Not far from Port Douglas, this is an experience not to be missed if you're in the area, just park up at the visitors centre, just off Captain Cook Highway, and take the shuttle bus up to the Gorge. From there, take a walk through the rainforest, for half an hour, or half a day, just remember to bring everything you'll need, and take back what ever you take with you.
