		<title>Stunning Behind the Scenes Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a stunning Behind The Scenes (or BTS) video shot and edited by Richie Thomassen of Wynn Ruji shooting the new Jaguar XJ. You won&#8217;t learn much about the shoot from watching it, but you will be inspired by the quality of video that can be achieved with a Canon 7D. Jaguar XJ &#124; [...]]]></description>

		<title>USC at Santa Pod is coming!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In just over a week (6th to the 8th of August), 35,000 members of the entire UK modified car scene descend on Santa Pod drag strip for USC &#8211; one of the biggest weekenders of the year. It&#8217;s like a noisier, less civilised version of Goodwood! There are monster trucks, a jet car, Terry Grant&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have even a passing interest in cars or motorsport you can&#8217;t help but love the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Every July, Lord March opens his grounds to tens of thousands of petrolheads. All the major car manufacturers build what can only be described as huge showrooms and the top F1 teams roll up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sextons shoot in “Studio J”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As Zack Arias said in his recent 3 day extravaganza on CreativeLIVE; a studio is any place with a floor and a couple of walls where you can control the ambient light. That includes a barn on an agricultural show ground in Peterborough. Ladies and gents, I welcome you to &#8220;Studio J&#8221; I&#8217;d shot in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Georgia Graham Location Shoot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, FHM Holiday Honey and car show regular, Georgia Graham made the trip down to Bristol from the North East for a shoot. We&#8217;d been planning for a few weeks, so by the time the day arrived I&#8217;d compiled a list of locations to go with her styling ideas and although nothing was set [...]]]></description>

		<title>Italy comes to Bristol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every April, hoards of Italian cars and bikes descend on Bristol&#8217;s Old city, centred around Corn Street. You&#8217;ll find everything from Fiat to Ferrari and Moto Guzzi to Aprilia. This year I decided to try something a little different. Instead of using just the available light and adding a wink of fill with an on-camera [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sextons Grid Girls do ISTS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend the International Styling &#38; Tuning Show hit Silverstone. The weather was fantastic (at least on the Saturday) so I had plenty chances to shoot with Emma, Gemma, Jen, Lucy and Michelle &#8211; The Sextons Direct Grid Girls. There&#8217;s a mix of available light and flash shots here from Saturday and Sunday so thanks [...]]]></description>

		<title>MCN Motorbike Show Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend was the MCN Motorbike Show at London&#8217;s ExCel exhibition centre. A few bikes and a lot of the usual suspects made for a good weekend full of photo ops. Congratulations to Georgia Graham, one of the car show regulars and Max Power babe, who was crowned MCN Babe of the Year 2010. That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Painting With Light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The word photography comes form the Latin &#8216;photo&#8217; and &#8216;graphico&#8217; and translates literally to &#8220;writing with light&#8221;.  I took that literally this weekend and did some light painting. It was a full moon on a clear, frosty night and I happened to be staying in Wales, just a few miles from a small wind farm [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Business Cards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you&#8217;ve probably noticed from the work category here on the blog, I cover a lot of car and bike shows around the UK. They are a great way to network with other photographers and meet models to work with in the future, so out come the faceless, formal business cards. By the end of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goals, Momentum &amp; Windmills</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am attacking this photography thing with all guns blazing from the beginning of 2010 and as part of that, I need to gather and maintain momentum. I am setting goals and deadlines and working towards them but as we all know it&#8217;s really easy to lose that forward motion and get stuck. Collis Ta&#8217;eed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slow Motion Shutter</title>

		<title>Getting Published</title>
		<description><![CDATA[However good your images are it&#8217;s very unlikely anyone is going to come to you and ask to license them. If you can make a photo editor/journalist/designer&#8217;s job easier by delivering images to them on a platter, however,  your chances improve greatly. What started as a day out at the World Aerobatic Championships at Silverstone [...]]]></description>

		<title>WAC 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are a few images from this years World Aerobatics Championships, hosted by Flying Aces at Silverstone. This was my first time photographing an event like this but it&#8217;s not unlike shooting motor racing &#8211; just less predictable movement! Shutter priority was the way to go to keep images sharp but retain some blur in [...]]]></description>

I was even able to do a little Strobist lighting thanks to Charlotte and Carly&#8217;s willingness to put up with my light stands and umbrellas. I hope the images show how a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ultimate Street Car 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite my 40D upping and dying, I managed to come away with some images from this years USC at Santa Pod. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn&#8217;t stay for the whole weekend as originally planned but at least the camera failure resulted in a shiny new 5d MkII. Thanks, as usual, to every [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Media &#8211; Just How Important Is It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In short: Very! The stats in this slick video are stunning. It took TV 13 years to reach 50 million users, it took the iPod 3 years, and it took Facebook just 9 months&#8230; to reach 100 million! This is great for photographers. There was a time when our images were only seen by the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bristol Balloon Fiesta 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first weekend in August marks the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta&#8230; and 4 days of 5am starts! The morning launches are always the best and well worth getting down on the site for if you can. There less people around  and it&#8217;s more about the balloons rather than the stalls, bars and fairground rides. This [...]]]></description>
